SOULIFT: Exploring the Dance between the Ecstatic and the Contemplative

August 17-23, 2020
in
Damascus, OR

Rabbi Shefa Gold
with Rabbi Benjamin Barnett

Ecstatic practice is the experience of full surrender to the life force. That surrender entails both opening to that flow of the Divine spirit and the unself-conscious expression of that spirit through us.

In contemplative practice we cultivate loving awareness of our direct experience, and refine our hearts through sincere intention and prayer.

The dance between the ecstatic and the contemplative expands our capacity for love in all its depth and expression. In this retreat, we will explore this dance by diving deeply into meditative silence and stillness, and also unlocking the treasures of expression through sound, movement, poetry and sacred text.
