In this special retreat for Elul, we will gather at the serene grounds of Elawa Farm for a day of learning, restoration, and reflection. We will use the concept, found in Jewish texts, of bein ha’shamshot - that mysterious, liminal period of time between day and night - to open up questions that Elul invites: where are we right now? Where do we want to be? In our individual lives, our relational lives, our lives with the Divine and with our communities? The month of Elul invites us to think about the horizon ahead and to begin the work of mapping out a path towards it. We will spend the day studying teachings, sharing conversation, enjoying mindful, reflective time among the gardens and savanna, singing, practicing yoga, and partaking in a farm-to-table vegetarian lunch. Join us to explore all of the special gifts of this special time of year in the Jewish calendar.
Open to all, all genders, all ages, all backgrounds. The retreat costs $165.
