Mindfulness Retreat with Cantor Alicia Stillman

Explore another side to dynamic spirituality in a full day mindfulness retreat with Cantor Alicia Stillman. 

Mindfulness is an awareness and appreciation for what we are thinking and feeling, and for how we experience the world around us. It enhances our ability to be present and alive to this moment with curiosity, joy, and expansiveness. Mindfulness can change our world.

Mindfulness practices can create a mikdash mei’at, a small sacred space within ourselves, where we can turn inward to cultivate a greater sense of emotional, physical, and spiritual wellness – in a uniquely Jewish setting.

Doing so as a Shabbat retreat offers an opportunity to capture the restful and creative spirit of Shabbat. The novelty of being "away" creates space for change and transformation and can spark an intense and unique experience. It is an opportunity for a pause to self nurture and to explore how to bring mindfulness into our everyday lives. During our one day retreat, we will experiment with a variety of mindfulness modalities and practices: music, prayer, movement, meditation, and meals, and we will close with Havdalah as we transition back to our week.

Together we will pray, breathe, move, sing, observe, calm, and stretch to become a more full and vibrant version of ourselves. No experience necessary!

If you are hoping to discover or deepen a personal mindfulness practice, please join us. Registration is required. Cost: $36. For questions, contact Cantor Stillman.
