Mind, Heart, and Attention: Introduction to Jewish Spiritual Practice

Star of the Sea Centre for Spiritual Living and Practice is offering a programme titled Mind, Heart, and Attention: Introduction to Jewish Spiritual Practice, facilitated by Rabbi Dr. Laura Duhan Kaplan, a spiritual teacher of grace and depth.

Judaism’s diverse tradition has evolved over millennia to appeal to intellectuals, activists, contemplatives, and more. Participants will be invited to explore three different but equally popular Jewish practices, by opening their minds to the voice of God with creative Torah (bible) readings; train their awareness by blessing God in gratitude many times in the day together, and tune their hearts with the three daily prayerful check-ins.

Laura Duhan Kaplan is a dynamic speaker, weaving a tapestry of ideas, insights and student voices, bringing existential, philosophical and religious questions to life. Her gifts are brought to the training of liberal clergy and chaplains. She serves as Director of Inter-Religious Studies at the Vancouver School of Theology, and as a core faculty member at ALEPH Ordination Programmes. 

10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
