Retreats
These are some of our recent retreats.

Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur offer us an opportunity to reflect and reorient ourselves towards personal and communal goals. During the month of Elul, alongside the blowing of the shofar each day, we look inward and take stock of our year and our spiritual direction for the year ahead. This year it's more important to be prepared than ever, since our High Holiday services will look very different. Join us for a virtual mini-retreat to facilitate the inner work of the High Holidays with creative space, reflection, and text study.
This event also kicks off our third year of the Align Series!

Creating Ritual: A Professional Development Retreat
Creating Ritual: A Professional Development Retreat
Our lives revolve around transitions. Some are tied to ritual, but many significant transitions, however, are not: retirement, becoming a grandparent, completing a time of healing or recovery, marking the anniversary of a loved ones passing, becoming an empty nester, graduation, job changes, a milestone birthday, weaning a child, or even making an important decision in your life.
We will come together to consider life transitions -- those with rituals, those without, and those you’d like to mark with a new ritual of your creation.
The retreat will include:
Mindful Exercises
Learning and Discussion
Silent Lunch
Time to take a walk and explore over 100 acres of the DaySprings fields and paths
Reflection and guidance on transition and the creation of ritual
Participants will also receive
A free consultation with Rabbi Sarah after the program for follow up/finalizing your life transition ritual
A coupon/gift certificate for an upcoming Mikvah program at The Adas Israel Community Mikvah
Resources and special ritual items to take home
Tickets and more information can be found HERE
Please note: the lodge where the retreat will take place is about a 3-5 minute walk from the parking on down a gravel road. Part of the retreat will take place outside, down a hill from the lodge (weather permitting) which may be challenging for those with mobility issues. Please be in touch with us with any questions so we can do our best to accommodate any needs as best a possible.
We hope to see you on May 8!
Co-Sponsored by the Tasman Center for Jewish Creativity and the Adas Israel Community Mikvah
