Nashim: From Where Does My Help Come?
A Jewish Meditation Retreat for Women
With Rebecca Schisler, Rabbi Batsheva Meiri, and Dr. Sheila Katz
Our retreat falls during the Weeks of Consolation on the Hebrew calendar, between Tisha B'av, marking the collapse of what we held sacred, and Rosh Hashana, a time of profound spiritual renewal. We are invited to trust that something new and beautiful will be born of what we've lost and what we've lived.
I lift my eyes to the mountains - from where does my help come?, wrote the psalmist. Inspired and aided by Jewish tradition and mindfulness practice, we will explore the sources of our deepest support and allow ourselves to be held by the greater whole of which we're each a part. Together, we will open to receive guidance and love from our own wisdom, one another, the earth, the tradition, and the divine itself.
The retreat will include daily chant, prayer, meditation instruction, teaching, movement, Q&A, and meetings with teachers. Within the nourishing and sacred container of retreat community, we will create a unique space for the emergence of women’s wisdom, depth of practice, empowerment and creative blossoming.
