Dear Friends,

There’s a moment many of us hit with meditation — maybe you’ve been there.

You know how to sit.
You’ve logged hours on an app, been on retreat, taken a course or two.
And yet… the practice still lives in a kind of side pocket of your life.

It helps, but it hasn’t quite reshaped how you meet stress, relationships, or the bigger questions of meaning and purpose.

Flourish was created for you.

Flourish is a 12-week Jewish mindfulness certification program for people who want their practice to move from occasional to integrated — from something you do, to something you live.

This is not about chasing peak experiences or adding another obligation to your week. It’s about building a daily, embodied, Jewish practice that helps you meet real life with more steadiness, clarity, and heart.

In Flourish, you’ll:
• Learn Jewish mindfulness practices rooted in ancient wisdom and modern psychology
• Study Jewish texts that speak directly to desire, distraction, fear, and resilience
• Develop the capacity to stay present, even when things are messy or uncertain
• Practice in community, with accountability and depth (no going it alone)
• Optionally train to confidently lead meditation for others through Sit-Leader Certification

This program is especially for people who:
– already value meditation and want it to be more consistent
– are craving something deeper than an app or drop-in class
– want Jewish spiritual practice that feels alive, accessible, and relevant
– are drawn to practice that actually shows up in how you parent, lead, teach, and relate

You don’t need advanced Jewish knowledge. All Hebrew will be translated.
What matters most is curiosity, sincerity, and a willingness to practice.

Flourish runs March 10 – May 26, with live weekly sessions, on-demand instructional videos, guided meditations, profound Jewish source sheets, journaling prompts, a lively whatsapp group, and a cohort of people committed to showing up - imperfectly, honestly, together.

If you’ve been sensing that this is a moment to deepen, to root yourself more fully, or to stop keeping your spiritual life at arm’s length, I’d love to welcome you.

Hope to see you soon.

With love,

​
Yael
