bulletHearing the Call of the Divine: A Joyous Jewish Meditation Retreat
with Rabbi Shefa Gold  and Rabbi Stacie Bahle, April 25 - 27, 2003


Join us for weekend journey of chant, silence, movement, text study (in translation) and loving community where we will find the space to hear the call of the divine, discover and share our own deep responses to that call, and enter upon the holy path of Love. Through study of the text Song of Songs, and its beautiful language, melody and drama, we will deepen our own connection to the Holy and leave feeling spiritually refreshed and renewed with tools for continued spiritual work.   The beauty of Northport Bay Retreat, just outside Traverse City, will inspire your soul.
