"T'sumet Lev"
Paying Attention with the Heart
The Modern Hebrew words for "pay attention" mean literally "to place the heart." In meditation, we turn our heart again and again to whatever is arising in the present moment, intentionally practicing compassion toward ourselves and opening to experience. Join us for a day of mindful sitting, walking, yoga, silent lunch, prayer, chant & contemplative Torah study.
Don't miss this rare opportunity
for a day-long meditation retreat in nature.
Open to everyone.
All levels of meditators are welcome.
Limited to 25 people!
Retreat will be led by Bobbi Isberg, Yoheved Sheila Katz,
and Mark Russo.
We have a special opportunity to gather at Mark and Kimberley Russo's "Just Right Farm," a quiet beautiful place in the country about an hour from Boston for a day-long silent retreat.
Kim will prepare an exquisite lunch from the farm.
We will support each other's practice
whether we are beginning or experienced.
