Retreats
Reconnect with Jewish spirituality, oneself, the Shabbat and the world around us.
Mira Neshama invites you to meditation retreats throughout the year.
For millennia, Jewish mystics have practiced the art of contemplative retreat: hitbodedout (literally "self-isolation') consists of isolating oneself, alone in a room or in groups, in quiet places in nature, far from our daily occupations, to turn inward, and the divine.

אם אין אני לי, מי לי? וכשאני לעצמי, מה אני? ואם לא עכשיו, אימתי?
If I am not for myself, who is for me?
And if I am only for myself, what am I? And if not now, when?
Hillel Pirke Avot 1.14.
