Mindfulness Meditation is a powerful way to develop and strengthen our intention to pay attention to each moment of our lives.

First class to meet on Thursday, January 29th at 7:30 p.m.

Rabbi Rex Perlmeter and Beth Sandweiss are offering a class for those who would like to develop a meditation and mindfulness practice and would appreciate a structured step-by-step approach. Over 8 weeks we will introduce guided practices that teach us how to cultivate our attention and shift from a mode of mind that is oriented toward “doing” to a more spacious mode of mind that rests in “being”. These include focusing on the breath as an anchor for our attention, sensing the body, mindful movement, awareness of sounds and thoughts and befriending our experience among others.

This class is an opportunity to pause in the midst of our hectic lives, to calm our bodies and minds, and connect deeply with our hearts and our tradition. Each session will include teachings from a Jewish perspective. A kavannah (intention) based on Jewish concepts, values, the Torah portion or calendar time will guide our time together as we cultivate the qualities of wisdom, compassion and kindness from a Jewish perspective.

Participants will be asked to practice between 20-30 minutes each day for 5-6 days a week.

This class is appropriate to both beginners and those with some meditation experience. We will provide an inclusive and welcoming environment that is accessible to all. No meditation experience or Jewish knowledge is necessary. You are welcome just as you are.
