Sabbath Life
Embody a way of life grounded in the practice of Sabbath.
Sabbath Life is an ecumenical invitation to clergy and ministry professionals to practice the rhythms of Sabbath, stepping away from our daily lives to delight in God, creation, and each other. Our unique format offers a holistic approach to good health and clergy renewal, which in turn leads to flourishing congregations and communities.
Starting February 2024, Day 7 will be hosting the Sabbath Life cohort at The Center for Living and Learning

In each of these, we will learn to incorporate sustainable practices that witness to and reflect the nature and character of a God of abundance and wholeness, enabling us to lead flourishing ministries.
Through work in the garden, worship around the table, shared silence, rest, and reflection together, you will have the opportunity to order your life, renew your energy and passion for ministry, and strengthen your leadership through a community of practice. Click here for more information!
Restorative Ministry Lunch
A place for Pastors & Ministry Leaders to eat and rest in community or solitude.
We welcome you to Restorative Ministry Lunch! This is a time to eat, socialize with fellow ministry leaders, or spend some time in peaceful solitude on the Day 7 Grounds. We will provide hammocks for any impromptu naps which may occur! Feel free to partake in a lunch provided by Day 7 or bring your own. This is a time to take a break and receive ministry.
