Jul 25 - 31
Isabella Freedman Jewish Retreat Center in Falls Village, CT
Miriam celebrated the crossing of the Sea of Reeds with dances of gratitude. King David danced his praises with joyous abandon in community. We continue this embodied expression each time we light Shabbat candles, dance with the Torah or wrap ourselves in a tallit. Judaism holds sacred and integral this relationship of body and spirit.
Have you longed to embody your spirituality? To explore the ways that Divinity pulses through every breath of your being? Do you want to be a more open channel through which shefa, the Divine flow of energy, may manifest on the earth? Do you seek to comprehend and to express through body, mind and spirit the deep structure of the Jewish prayer service, the Torah and other sacred Jewish teachings, the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, and your personal Divine connection?
This week-long retreat is designed to help you more fully and creatively embody Jewish spirituality and help you become a Jewish movement facilitator. Explore Torah, prayer and ritual through expressive movement, sacred circle dance and authentic movement as avenues of embodied learning. Discover the body as a vehicle of sacred creativity, receptivity and a source of inner knowing. Joy, play, gratitude and presence in all facets of Jewish life will be fostered. We will also help students develop proficiency with body-centered and movement practices that can be taught and shared with others. All levels of experience are welcomed.
Your inspired and passionate faculty, drawing on many years of combined experience in exploring Jewish prayer, music, text, history, and soul through the lenses of dance and movement, ritual, psychology, and the healing arts, will guide and empower you to grow the roots of your spiritual aliveness, watered by the well of your body's wisdom.
