A Jewish Mindfulness Retreat for Social Justice LeadersApril 2 - 5, 2009 Can activists be still? Why should we try?This retreat provides an opportunity for a small cohort of leaders to come together in a place of natural beauty to focus on the critical work of weaving together our spiritual and social justice lives in order to become more balanced, healthy and sustainable leaders. The retreat will be predominantly silent with a handful of talks and interactive training sessions. This is a retreat for compassionate Jewish activists. It is a retreat for those of us who, aflame with the cries of the innocent and the hurting in the world, may be ignoring or neglecting the needs of our own bodies, hearts and minds. It is a retreat about listening to and responding to the pain in the world and remembering that we are also part of that world. Start: 6:45 pm
End: 10:30 pm
