We’re excited to invite you to Beyt Tikkun’s new in-person gathering: a Music and Meditation Rosh Chodesh Circle! This monthly event is a space for community connection through song, reflection, and shared nourishment. Rosh Chodesh, marking the beginning of a new month in the Jewish lunar calendar, is traditionally a time for renewal and spiritual reflection. Each circle will begin with communal singing, then move into a short teaching, and a guided meditation centered around themes from the Jewish month and the astrological new moon. We encourage you to bring a song to share and hope you’ll stay for a potluck picnic at the end.

The circle will be led by Marissa Munn (they/she), Beyt Tikkun’s Program and Outreach Manager, who is also a Meditation Teacher and Mindfulness Coach. Each month, Marissa will be joined by different musicians who will guide the musical portion.

Please note: All are welcome. Registration and donations (pay what you can) are encouraged but not required. No one will be turned away for lack of funds. To stay updated on future events, sign up for our email list: https://beyttikkun.org/newsletter/
