Returning to the Hidden Wholeness: New Moon of Elul Retreat
We return again. Amidst a world teeming with heartbreak and crises, the ancient Jewish calendar brings us to the doorstep of a new year with an enormous gift: a month of contemplation and self-engagement known as Elul. The Hebrew sages revered Elul for its self-review, and gave us all manner of practices to bushwhack our way back to the place inside us known by the Alter Rebbe as nekudah p’nimit, our innermost point of light. The mystic Thomas Merton called this place: hidden wholeness.
This year, the new moon of Elul arrives on Sunday August 24th, an auspicious time to begin anew on the path of renewal. We will engage in a kabbalistic review of the past year, and look with wise compassion at our place in it. With sacred poetry, Hassidic texts, guided meditation, and ritual, we will create a communal vessel in which to begin the work of returning to our innermost light, the hidden wholeness in all things.
Please bring a journal or tablet.
