Embracing the Spirit

An 8-Week Course in Mindfulness & Spirituality
at Temple Beth HaTephila
Asheville, NC
Spring, 2016 -
In Progress

At the heart of physical, emotional and intellectual well-being 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 distracts us 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 can meet the vicissitudes of life with grace and thrive?

Over this 8-week course, we will explore how mindfulness practices, and the psalms, prayers and stories of Judaism and other faith traditions offer lessons into connecting to each moment and enriching our spirits. This class will be co-taught by Scott MacGregor, MS, LPCA, CFLE and Rabbi Batsheva Meiri.
