Our Program
Lev Shomea Jewish Spiritual Direction is a two-year, retreat-based program that involves diverse educational modalities:
- Two week-long intensive retreats each year
- Ongoing contact with the instructors between
residencies - Receiving and offering Spiritual Direction in one’s home community
- Directed reading and the writing of reflection papers
- One-on-one supervision or participation in a peer supervision group
- Regular contact with a chaver or chevra, spiritual “buddy” or group, for study, support and attention to individual spiritual development
Lev Shomea incorporates contemplative movement, dance, chant, poetry and visual art into our curriculum. Our participants are pioneering new ways to integrate the arts and body awareness into the practice of Spiritual Direction.
