Haamayk

Beginning October 5, First Tuesday of the month for 9 months

Deepen practice…
Delve into spiritual community…
Deepen one’s connection to God…

The Nishmat Hayyim Ha’amayk Program is for more experienced students seeking ways to deepen their meditation practice and experience of Jewish life. It is designed for individuals who already have a foundation in Judaism and meditation. The program will challenge students spiritually, intellectually and psychologically, delving into a variety of meditation practices, texts and experiential Jewish learning. Each session will have substantial teachings. Every other session will be taught by nationally renowned guest teachers from the Boston area and across the country.


Topics include: Commitment to practice and depth of daily meditation; concentration practice and mind absorption; contemplative text study; hanhagot – development of individual spiritual practices; and the psychological insight of the chasidic masters.
While meditation background is necessary, most important will be the commitment of each participant. Participants will be meditating, studying together, and reading between sessions.

Ha’amayk Faculty Have Included:
Sylvia Boorstein, Seth Castleman, Dr. Arthur Green, Rabbi Ebn Leader, Jay Michaelson, Rabbi Nechemia Polen, Rabbi Moshe Waldoks, Rabbi Sheila Weinberg, and others.

Beginning Tuesday, October 5, 2010. Meets the first Tuesday of the month for 9 months.
$600 for nine month program.
