Limmud Bay Area Festival 2018

Explore the quiet revolution of spiritual direction with an extraordinary panel of leaders in this new/old form of Jewish practice.  Unknown to most Jews, even though it is being offered in five rabbinical schools and there are three independent training programs, Jewish spiritual directors are active in many communities across the US and around the world. Spiritual direction (also called spiritual guidance) helps cultivate and shine a light on the holiness/God’s presence inherent in our lives - in the difficult, the joyful, and the everyday moments and provides support for the continued growth and development of your soul/spiritual life. Throughout Jewish history, mentors such as a mashpia or rebbe have provided a place to talk about and explore the spiritual life.  Come learn about this new/old model of spiritual companionship and start your weekend by (re)introducing your soul to the idea that soul care and growth is one of the primary joys and responsibilities of a Jew.
