Being With What Is: A Silent Jewish Mindfulness Retreat for Young Adults


Join the Institute for Jewish Spirituality (IJS) for their first in-depth retreat specifically designed for folks in their 20's and 30's. This opportunity invites you to slow down, connect with yourself and others, and drop into what matters most amidst the challenges of daily life and the ongoing difficulties that we have been facing in the wake of the tumultuous events of the past year.

This retreat will be led by Rebecca Schisler, IJS Core Faculty with Kohenet Keshira haLev Fife, IJS Core Faculty, and Yael Shy, CEO of Mindfulness Consulting, LLC, with Jes Heppler as Retreat Manager and Assistant Teacher. 

Utilizing the gifts of mindfulness, embodiment, song, prayer, and a variety of Jewish spiritual teachings, you will:

  • Learn tools and practices to reconnect with your innate wisdom and authenticity.

  • Nurture your capacity for resilience, compassion, and well-being.

  • Cultivate insight and wise action in response to the challenges of our world.

  • Refresh and renew your body, heart, mind and soul.
