This women’s-circle, a Jewish Spiritual gathering created by women just for women, is a sacred space for personal exploration in the context of community and sisterhood. It’s open to Jewish community women of all ages from Lexington and the surrounding area.
*Bring: a journal or notebook, a potluck dish to share, and your spirit for heart-full exploration!
What to expect:
*An introduction to Mussar (the fascinating ancient Jewish practice of spiritual exploration)
*A study of what it means to live a “personal curriculum” through one’s life
*A Jewish consideration of the notion that we are spiritual beings having a human experience.
Because Mussar is meant to be a practice that integrates one’s intellect with heart and soul, we’ll practice some guided meditation in the Mussar tradition and conclude with a community-style celebratory potluck lunch.
