SUMMARY:Small Groups: Taste of Spiritual Direction
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a 90 minute contemplative and interactive introduction to Spiritual Direction\, an ancient practice rooted in Hebrew Biblical and early Christian monasticism tradition and now reemerging within Jewish spiritual life. Together we will explore what this practice is and is not\, and how meeting regularly in a sacred\, confidential space can help us attune to the Sacred in everyday life and deepen connection to ourselves\, our community\, and the Mystery that flows through it all. We will share a period of silent meditation followed by reflection\, questions\, and space to notice what stirred. \nLed by Monte Dube\, a Jewish mindfulness teacher and spiritual director trained by the Institute for Jewish Spirituality and a longtime Mishkan Builder\, who accompanies individuals and groups on their spiritual journeys with care and presence. \nRegister \nThis program is sponsored by Maggie’s Place\, Mishkan’s holistic wellness center which provides support groups\, resources\, and pastoral counseling free of charge.
