Lover & Compassion: A Jewish Meditation Retreat

Tikkun Ha-olam (repair of the world) is one of the key commitments and practices of Judaism. In this retreat we consider Jewish (and maybe some Buddhist!) teachings on love and compassion and how we can work with them to open up our lives. Practice sitting and walking meditation, engage in contemplative prayer, and listen to talks by Makor Or teachers Norman Fischer and Rabbi Jonathan Slater.

This retreat includes a ticket for a book talk by Norman Fischer.
