You are invited to meet the person you've always wanted to be. The magic being embodying Divine light. The part of you that lives with no shame or embarrassment. The one who can cry, laugh, be vulnerable and share in community. The one who nurtures but doesn't caretake. The one who receives but isn't needy. The one who expresses without fear and listens without judgement.
On March 16 - March 18, 2018, join us for a weekend of exploration, meditation, movement and liberation. Located in the Catskills, just 2.5 hours from New York City, we'll spend time understanding our own sense of empowerment and oppression, Divine feminine and masculine, based on Kabbalah, Jewish tradition, mystic texts and traditional practices. We'll eat delicious vegetarian food, relax in the sunshine, experience healing bodywork, and meet our truest, freest selves.
Applications are due Feb 27th. All accepted applications will need to pay the fees ($108 - $180) by March 5 to confirm their spot.

Sing, dance and pray
Our way is to experience life with embodied practice that is alive, mindful and spirited. Join Rishe Groner of The Gene-Sis and Miriam Eisenberger of Mindful Element for prayer, chant, meditation, and movement in safe spaces.
Explore new ancient things
We'll examine ancient traditions through the lens of what's new, bringing back practices from Judaism and bringing them into our bodies for a daily spiritual practice that works in our urban lives. We'll channel our ancestors and honor our bodies, liberating the Divine Feminine from oppression across generations.
