Build Your Own Sabbath Box

 Throughout January we have been focusing on rhythms and practices of Sabbath and how we can incorporate those into our lives. At our Lab, we had Sabbath Boxes, or Peace Boxes, filled with things that help ground and relax and promote a state of rest. 

For more information on how to make your own Sabbath Box, check out some of these fun links for resources and ideas about what to include in yours!
