Shabbat

7/10: Come Chant Shabbat Peace Into Your Life!

Come Chant Shabbat Peace Into Your Life! 

July 10th at 10:30 a.m.

 

at the Center for Spiritual Living

390 Vernal Street, Eugene

Cross streets Coburg Rd and Rustic Pl.

Turn east at Blockbuster and go one block.

 

Summer schedules open up opportunites for those of you who have Saturday commitments during other times of the year to come PLAY with us! Hmmm, did I say 'play'?  I meant 'pray'.  You know, I  don't think there is much difference when you come to prayer through chant.

 

Chant opens up a deep and joy-filled connection with the Divine.  

Even when we are called to look at the tough questions of our lives, chant opens up a path within us that is filled with healing power and nuturing energy.

 

Shabbat, or Sabbath, is sort of a spiritual 'take two aspirin and call me in the morning'.  That may sound flippant, but through the spiritual practice of Shabbat we heal ourselves and the world.  When we go into that sacred space, that 'mishkan' of Shabbat we are taking the broken shards of life and elevating them back to the Oneness from which they came.

 

Come enter the space with your hearts and souls open -- open to hearing and feeling spirit in a new way; partly Jewish, partly metaphysical, and wholly spiritual. 

 

We enter that space through chant and silence, contemplation and sharing. Participate as you are comfortable.  There is no charge for the gatherings but donations are appreciated.

 

So?  What are you waiting for?  I should offer to pick you up and chaueffer you?  Come join us this Saturday morning at 10:30 am.  It will do your heart and soul a world of good.

6/12 - Sunny Outdoor Shabbat Chant Circle

The Shabbat Chant Circle is happening this Saturday and yes, the weather is supposed to be GREAT!  So, we decided to bring the chairs outside and use the beautiful stone labyrinth, trees and garden at the Center for Spiritual Living as the gathering place for our Shabbat Chant Circle this month. 

June 12th at 10:30 a.m.
at the Center for Spiritual Living
390 Vernal Street, Eugene

Cross streets Coburg Rd and Rustic Pl.
Turn east at Blockbuster and go one block.

 Shabbat, or Sabbath is the retreat from the secular world into a direct experience of the Divine.  Come enter the space with your hearts and souls open -- open to hearing and feeling spirit in a new way; partly Jewish, partly metaphysical, and wholly spiritual.
 
We enter that space through chant and silence, contemplation and sharing. Participate as you are comfortable. There is no charge for the gatherings but donations are appreciated

About our gatherings....  This is a 'meta' Jewish experience lead by Lisa Kaye, a Kol Zimra Chant leader who blends her Judaism with the metaphysical teachings from her practitioner instructor, Michael Beckwith.

Lisa Kaye, a chant leader from Rabbi Shefa Gold's Kol Zimra program, will be leading this opportunity for us to step into sacred time together exploring the edges where Jewish Renewal and metaphysics intertwine with chant, meditation and the Shabbat liturgy.

Simchat Torah: Opening to Newness! SUN 10/11 at 6:30 p.m.

 

Simchat Torah:  Opening to Newness! 

THIS SUNDAY EVENING... 

October 11th   ~   6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

with Lisa Kaye & Justine Halliwill 

at the Center for Spiritual Living

390 Vernal, Eugene 

 (cross streets Coburg Rd/Rustic Pl, east of Blockbusters) 

Come Celebrate With Us!!!

 

"Whatever you find here in Torah is also inside you.  This is the map.  You are the landscape."  

 Rabbi Shefa Gold 

 

Rabbi Seidel had to cancel participating with us at the last minute but Rabbi Shefa Gold came to the rescue and together with Lisa Kaye helped design a renewal-focused celebration filled with chanting, singing, dancing and an invitation to experience TORAH in a new and personal way.

 

Justine Halliwill will co-lead the chanting and add her creative spark to the celebration including drumming to help raise the sparks of celebration for each of us!

Torah is not just a static scroll of the first five books of the old testament.  "Torah" can be translated from Hebrew as 'learning, or instruction'.  Rabbi Shefa says that the Torah scroll is just a 'mirror', that the 'real Torah' is the Torah of our lives.  So come explore the landscape of YOUR Torah, your truths, your learnings and celebrate the process of completion and new beginnings. 

 

On Simchat Torah we literally roll-back the Torah to start again.  What in your life do you need to roll back?  Where do your new beginnings need to start?  Torah gives us that opportunity every year and Simchat Torah is the point of transition from completion to beginning anew. 

 

Be there when it happens.  Be ready with us to step into the newness of Torah all over again!

 

Donations accepted.

Everyone welcome whatever your spiritual path. 

See you this Sunday evening at 6:30 pm!

 

Lisa Kaye & Justine Halliwill

 

P.S.  We thank Rabbi Hanan Sills and congregation Ad Olam for offering to share their Torah with us for this Simchat Torah celebration!
