September 19th, a guided meditation

I will be facilitating and leading a brief (5-7) minute mindfulness meditation at East Side Jews’ Down to the River event this fall. Down to the River falls between the Jewish new year and Yom Kippur, the day of repentance, so the event is centered on the idea of taking stock of where we’re at, and preparing to let go of old things to make room for the new. This year we’re focusing especially on the role of water in religious and civic life, examining its place in Jewish ritual and history as well as in our own drought-y LA lives.
