Sit and Schmooze

Picture
Dr. Zvi Bellin
Thursdays, 8pm to 9:30pm
Location: Chochmat HaLev

This low-barrier contemplative practice group is perfect for the beginner and experienced meditator alike. What makes this group special is that it focuses on the social aspect of spiritual practice. We will begin with greetings and gratitude, and then continue with a sitting meditation period that is interspersed with Hebrew chants.  We will culminate our practice with a facilitated check-in over tea, tapering off into friendly discussion and connection. This is a great opportunity if you are curious about Jewish contemplative activities, if who want to deepen your practice, and/or for those who simply enjoy intentional community togetherness.
