Nashim: a Jewish Meditation Retreat for Women
with Rebecca Schisler, Rabbi Batsheva Meiri, and Sheila Katz
Sponsored by the Awakened Heart Project & Or Ha Lev
Join us for a virtual 4-day Jewish meditation retreat for self-identifying women of all ages and stages of meditation experience. We have done several online Zoom retreats, and have found the experience to be a lovely and effective opportunity to integrate the practice into life at home. We will come together in social silence to dive deep into mindfulness practice, a transformative and heart-opening process that enables us to cultivate insight and compassionate action in our lives and the world.
The apex of the retreat falls on Tisha B’Av, a holy day in Jewish time that marks the collapse of sacred structures, and devastation of all we depend on. We plumb the depths of loss to begin our journey home to renewal and inspiration.
The retreat will include daily chant, prayer, meditation instruction, teaching, movement, time for Q&A, and meetings with teachers to support each one’s practice. Within the nourishing and sacred container of community, we will create a unique space for the emergence of women’s wisdom, depth of practice, empowerment and creative blossoming.
