For you shall go out in joy, and be led back home in peace and wholeness;

the mountains and the hills before you shall cry out,

and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.

Isaiah 55:12

In celebration of LGBTQ Pride month, please join us for this one-day spiritual direction retreat for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer Jews and friends.  This spiritual direction retreat will incorporate prayer, contemplative silence, meditation, and group discussion for a day of immersing ourselves in the Divine Presence, drawing on the rich resources available from Jewish, queer and other interfaith sources for healing and transformation. Together we will explore powerful pathways to emotional, spiritual and political liberation.  People of all genders, races, cultures & spiritual practices are welcome to attend. Come set yourself free, and be led home in peace and wholeness.

The generous co-sponsorship of the LGBT Alliance of the Jewish Community Federation helps us make this program more affordable. We have decreased prices thanks to their support, and can also offer some financial aid for those in need.  Pre-registration is required.   Please bring your own brown bag vegetarian lunch. For more information and to sign up, please email frontdesk@chochmat.org or call 510.704.9687.
