The Awakened Heart: A Conference on Jewish Spirituality and Activism June 7, 2006

Do you want to bring more presence, compassion, and joy to your work as an activist? Do you want to help the Jewish social change movement to harness the inner resources of peace, integrity, and lovingkindness?

This three-day retreat will provide a forum for bridging the worlds of spirituality and activism, focusing on how the modalities of spiritual practice and social activism can support each other within the individual and the Jewish community as a whole.

Recognizing that spirituality and activism represent different approaches to the process of transforming suffering within the individual and our global society, we will engage in vital and dynamic dialogue, learning, contemplative practices, and celebration.

This is a transdenominational retreat that welcomes people of all backgrounds and types of observance.

Co-Sponsored by the Jewish FundS for Justice and the American Jewish World Service
