Softening the Heart, Strengthening the Spirit: A Pre-Passover Mindfulness Retreat
March 27-29, 2020
2-4 Nisan, 5780
At the Himalayan Institute, 952 Bethany Turnpike, Honesdale PA
NOTE:
We are sorry to announce that for the health of the community the Pre-Passover Retreat has been canceled. Please contact retreats@awayin.org with questions.
The Festival of Passover calls us to leave the narrow places in our hearts and minds and expand our capacities for compassion, empathy, understanding and relationship. On this Pre-Pesach retreat, through meditation, reflection and movement, we will engage in the practices of:
Tikkun halev: Softening the hardened heart
Bedikat chamaytz: Taking notice of what keeps us from engaging fully with the challenges and gifts of life
Yitziat mitzriam: Leaving the narrow places of judgment and fear to enter into a wider expanse of perspective and possibility
We will welcome Shabbat and the month of Nisan with song and celebration and then spend much of our time together in the sacred vessel of silence.
— Rabbi Yael Levy
