Sabbath as Sacred Rest

A new documentary film, SABBATH, explores the many ways that Americans cultivate time and space for sacred rest, particularly within Jewish, Christian, and Muslim traditions. This beautifully-made film, directed by Martin Doblmeier, begins streaming this month on PBS.

RCC program director Ben Scott-Brandt sat down with the film’s producer, Dr. Deryl Davis, to talk about how the concept of sabbath connects with retreat centers’ unique approaches to contemplative spaces and sacred hospitality.

Screening licenses (and retreat program outlines!) are now available from Journey Films. Visit their website to learn more about how your center might benefit from this film.
