Iyun Ayin – “Immersion is Spaciousness”
Transformative Teaching, Heart Opening Chanting and Deep Silence, with Reb Brian Yosef Schachter-Brooks
Recording of the session on Aug. 7, 2023
1st Monday of the Month at Integral Life – Free and open to all
Spiritual awakening is the realization that you are far more than your thoughts and feelings. Beneath your personality, there’s a radiant field of awareness, free from negativity and connected to the aliveness of the present moment. These sessions begin with learning a text from the traditional weekly Torah reading, followed by chanting and Integral Jewish Meditation. This is followed by Q&A, sharing, and dialogue.
“Brian’s gentle guidance makes communion with the divine possible.”
– Estelle Frankel, author of Sacred Therapy and The Wisdom of Not Knowing – Discovering a Life of Wonder by Embracing Uncertainty
“Reb Brian Yosef is an amazing spiritual teacher, able to inspire his students in profound ways that contribute to their spiritual transformation.”
– Rabbi Burt Jacobson, founder of Kehilla Community Synagogue, Oakland, California; author of This Precious Moment: The Wisdom of the Ba’al Shem Tov
