SUMMARY:Tree of Life: A Mind‑Body‑Spirit Practice
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, June 9\, 2026\n12-1:30 p.m. EST\n$18\n \n\n\nAs we move through the luminous days following Shavuot and step toward the fullness of summer\, join us for a unique exploration of ritual\, awareness\, movement\, and light. \nRabbi Tsurah August\, a teacher rooted in somatic practice\, mindfulness\, and Jewish mystical tradition\, invites us into Embodying the Light — a session to awaken our bodies\, our hearts\, and our spiritual vision. \nIn this gathering we will: \n\nSet a mindful tone for the season\, grounding our awareness and centering in presence.\nUse gentle movement\, breath\, and guided reflection to awaken our capacity to sense light within and around us.\nExplore how revelation continues in the body — how we receive\, carry\, and radiate the light of insight\, wisdom\, and connection.\nOffer prompts and moments for creative embodiment — through movement\, drawing\, journaling\, or simply listening and witnessing.\n\nShavuot invites us into revelation; summer invites us into expansion. Together\, we’ll explore what it means to embody what we’ve received — to let wisdom take root in muscle and breath\, and to carry it forward into our lives. \nWhether you’re familiar with mindfulness or new to embodied ritual\, this practice is open and inclusive. Come as you are — with openness\, curiosity\, and your own unique presence. Bring a journal or sketch pad if you wish\, wear comfortable clothing\, and prepare to move\, breathe\, reflect\, and kindle the light that is already within you. \nWe look forward to gathering with you — to awaken together\, and to carry that light into our lives\, our relationships\, and our world. \n\n\n \nThis session will be recorded and sent to participants. We encourage live attendance for you to get the most out of the experience.\n \nBefore becoming a rabbi and chaplain\, Tsurah was a professional dancer\, choreographer and movement educator for people with a broad range of movement and cognitive abilities. Dance is still her beloved form of prayer.\n
