The Urban Well at Saint James Episcopal Church, located in historic downtown Lancaster, will host The Practice of Rest, a one-day retreat designed to help participants reconnect with the divine gift of rest. Scheduled from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on February 22, 2025, the program—offered both in person and via livestream—provides an opportunity to reflect on the importance of rest in a culture that glorifies busyness.

The retreat features ordained Episcopal priest, Erin Jean Warde, a certified Brené Brown facilitator and author, alongside The Rev. Stacey Carpenter, of Saint James Episcopal Church. The program includes hands-on workshops and an introduction to an eight-week follow-up teaching series that explores practical ways to integrate rest into daily life.
