At the heart of physical, emotional and intellectual wellbeing is spiritual well-being.  When we are sick in body, declining in mind, or broken-hearted, an engaged, awake spirit can anchor us.  Moreover, a rich spiritual life can enliven the commonplace, call forth gratitude and lead us to greater flourishing.  However, there is so much that takes our attention away from attending to our spirit and showing up to our lives authentically and skillfully, moment to moment.  How do we cultivate greater spiritual awareness?  What practices can deepen our connection to our soul so that we an meet the vicissitudes of life with grace and thrive?

CBHT has an array of offering in which one can learn and practice mindfulness in a Jewish spiritual context.  Watch for information about our holiday inspired Om Shalom contemplative yoga/somatic healing series, Embracing the Summer Retreat, and monthly Cultivating Kavannah group that are offered throughout the year.
