Teshuva: Turning and Returning

A ½ day Mindfulness Meditation Retreat to Prepare for the High Holidays

The spiritual process of change involves both returning to who we really are and becoming who we are yet to be. 

How can we cultivate the qualities of heart and mind that allow us to turn toward or return to what matters most in our lives?

Spending a half day in contemplative practice is a uniquely wonderful way to prepare for the High Holidays -to regain balance in our lives, and to cultivate greater awareness, clarity, peacefulness and compassion for ourselves and others. The power of doing this together in community can be transformative.

The day will include silent sitting meditation, walking meditation, chant, gentle yoga and study --as pathways to explore the season’s themes of renewal, forgiveness, transformation, and change.

Led by : Rabbi Rex Perlmeter and  Beth Sandweiss
