Testimonials

“If someone wants a Jewish opportunity to find the hard reset button on life, take a deep pause, and emerge with completely new eyes - this is it. There's simply nothing that even comes close to weaving mindfulness with Jewish teachings in such a tender-hearted and brave way.”

- Danit K

Retreats

Retreat is the deepest form of mindfulness practice; enabling us to get quiet and still in a way that the busyness of daily life doesn’t support. We provide both virtual and in-person retreats so anyone can join.

Rav James on Gratitude

Rav James reflects on his gratitude that he gets to offer this practice, which has supported him personally, to others.

“When we wish to take this great step from the lowliness of separation to the work of mindfulness, we simply need to bring forth and reveal within ourselves a new and strong mindfulness, and to exercise it - just as we bring forth a child’s ability to walk by practice.”

— Rabbi Kalonymous Kalman Shapira (the Piaseczna Rebbe)
