A Path to Loving Awareness - A Six-Night Jewish Mindfulness Meditation Retreat
with Rabbis Joanna Katz, James Moshe Jacobson-Maisels, Jeff Roth and Dr. Stephen Fulder
at Kibbutz Hannaton – Lower Galilee, Israel
Join us for an opportunity to practice a path, which helps to cultivate an open heart, leads to clarity and insight and inspires us to deeply participate in the injunction to love our neighbors as we love ourselves.
One of the principle obstacles to that love is a failing to deeply look into our own human nature. We frequently live in reactive mode deeply conditioned to certain beliefs and opinions. This can result in a contraction of the heart, defensiveness and a preoccupation with our smallest selfish needs, which may lead us to act unwisely and unkindly to those around us. But it is possible to develop mindful awareness, an increasing clarity and inner freedom that allows us to see the Divine Presence that manifests as the interconnected nature of all things and that opens the heart of compassion. This weeklong meditation retreat will give you the tools and the time to delve inward and cultivate these qualities.
Using the vehicle of silence, mindfulness and a variety of Jewish meditation approaches this retreat will help you to look deeply into life. The retreat also includes daily periods of prayer, chant and meditative movement. Prayer sessions will be jointly led by the teaching staff. The form of prayer consists of chanting excerpts from the liturgy interspersed with silence. Those who follow traditional rules for davvening can pray separately to fulfill their obligations.
