A Day Spa for the Soul:
An Interfaith Day of Mindfulness
for the GLBT Community
Sunday, March 6, 2005
The JCC of Manhattan



Join spiritual teachers from Jewish, Buddhist, Christian, and non-aligned contemplative traditions for a day of meditation, community-building and spiritual practice for GLBT people and their allies. Our day will include sitting, eating and walking meditation; inspiring speakers on the unique challenges and opportunities of spiritual practice as a member of a sexual minority; body-centered spiritual practices including yoga and movement; and time to connect with one another. It's like a day-spa for the soul! Sponsored by Nehirim: A Spiritual Initiative for GLBT Jews; Makom: A Center for Mindfulness; the GLBT Program at the Manhattan JCC; Out and Faithful, a program of the GLBT Center; and Q-Spirit.

What can you expect at the Nehirim Day of Mindfulness?

- Contemplative practice including guided sitting meditation, eating meditation, and movement meditation
- Time to connect with other GLBT spiritual folks and organizations
- Optional panel discussions on practicing spirituality in different religious traditions
- Opportunities to share your stories, or listen to other people share theirs
- An inspiring, supportive day of practice and mindfulness.

The program runs from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with additional time afterwards to socialize, relax, and network. The cost of the day is $40. More information, including details on teachers and the schedule, will be posted here in January. In the meantime, if you would like more information, or if you or your organization would like to participate in the day's activities, you can always email us at info[at]nehirim.org.
