In his soaring meditation on The Sabbath, mystic and philosopher Abraham Heschel builds us a portal to a special time zone, where we're invited to find rest and renewal. Not a date but an atmosphere, this "foretaste of paradise" offers an alternative to the calendrical homogeneity that we've become so accustomed to in our Gcal daze.

In this study, we'll attend to the construction sites of time, how ritual and environment shape the way we inhabit it. How do we make thresholds between ordinary and extraordinary time? What does it mean to cultivate temporal diversity? How might we build moats around our clocks that protect the islands of stillness so vital to attention liberation?
