SUMMARY:Moon by Moon: Integration of Spiritual Time with Adas Israel Congregation
DESCRIPTION:Jewish tradition holds some the world’s best-kept wellness secrets\, ancient practices that support our wholeness individually and in community.  \nPlease join in this collaborative experience as At The Well and the Wellness Center @ Adas partner to explore the wisdom of the lunar calendar through the sacred technology of Rosh Chodesh. The Hebrew Calendar invites each of us into cyclical time\, present-moment awareness\, embodiment\, and collective care. \nIn Cheshvan\, we enter a quieter\, more spacious season after the intensity and sacred busyness of Tishrei and the High Holiday cycle. The gatherings\, rituals\, reflection\, celebration\, and renewal of the previous month begin to settle\, creating room to absorb all that we have experienced. \nThis spaciousness offers an invitation to integrate. We can return to the intentions\, hopes\, and commitments we named for the year ahead and begin to ask what it means to actually live them — not only in moments of ceremony or inspiration\, but in the ordinary rhythms of our daily lives. Cheshvan reminds us that transformation is often sustained in quieter ways: through small choices\, repeated practices\, and the ways we care for ourselves and one another. \nWithout major holidays to structure the month\, Cheshvan can feel open and unhurried. That openness gives us space to listen more closely to what is taking root. What from Tishrei do we want to carry forward? What needs more time to settle? What might be asking for our attention now that the noise has softened? \nTogether\, we create space to ground\, reflect\, and reconnect with what matters most. In this circle\, we honor the transition from intention to practice\, gently exploring how the visions we hold for the year can begin to take shape in the lives we are already living. \nThis program will be facilitated by At The Well Founder &.CEO Sarah Waxman and Rabbi Anina Dassa. \n \nAccommodations: ADA Accessible Venue \n \nOrganization: Adas Israel Congregation \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not
