Nourishment

While we don’t presume participants will be fasting from food or water, we won’t be serve food from sundown to sundown, so please bring what you need to tend your body and be well.

We’ll break-fast / feast together after Ne’ilah / closing ritual. 

Share Your Intention

Our intention process is to hone the focused energy of the gathering. We don’t intend exclusivity, and, our desire and intention for gathering calls for keeping our circle relatively small. We are seeking to convene a circle that supports shared honing of energy, intention and prayer.  Your intention will help us craft our container with additional ease and blessing and toward an optimal experience.
