What?
If you ever felt like things aren’t going quite the way you want, you are not alone! Come and join us in a Jewish Mindfulness Meditation Daylong Retreat where you will learn and practice Jewish Mindfulness Meditation and sacred chant in community, explore how to find personal and spiritual meaning through direct experience, and engage life fully.
Meditation is thousands of years old. The true gift of meditation is not an escape from life, but in realizing that true respite comes from acknowledging life as it is and accepting yourself as you are.
Jewish Mindfulness can help you develop and enhance your love and compassion for yourself and others, and perhaps even God. It is the practice of noticing the sacred in our life. Jewish Mindfulness Meditation begs us to pay attention to our life just as it is!
Meditation instructions and a kosher lunch will be provided. There will also be time for questions and answers. This daylong immersion in mindfulness will be conducted in social silence and is open to participants of any religious or spiritual background and all levels of familiarity with meditation.
