Cultivate a daily gratitude practice by leaving the world of negative emotions and reactivity
Renowned author and poet Rodger Kamenetz (author of the classic bestseller The Jew in the Lotus), will offer a five-week program of imaginative spiritual practice based on his new book: Seeing into the Life of Things: Imagination and the Sacred Encounter.
Do you find yourself grappling with the anxiety and uncertainty of our times? How can we engage our five senses to develop a gratitude practice that purifies an afflictive state of mind? In this 5-week course, you will embark on a journey that entwines our senses, dreams, and imagination with the sacred by:
- Engaging the healing power of “feeling into images” in memory, perception, and dreams.
- Cultivating a mindset of “counting blessings” and integrating this blessing practice into the traditional Jewish morning prayer practice.
- Connecting inner feelings with the outer world, evoking images from our dream life.
- Developing greater empathy and a shift in consciousness toward what Kamenetz terms “the Great Opening.”
