A 30-minute guided meditation on Self Forgiveness for the month of Elul using imagery of a forest, waterfalls and mikveh in a river.
The central invitation of the Jewish month of Elul preceding Rosh Hashanah, is to engage in cheshbon nefesh, a soul inventory or soul-searching process. This requires a willingness to open our hearts to teshuvah - a joyful return to our most authentic selves. We gather on Shabbat to engage in this sacred work together. We will enter into a state of enhanced consciousness with sacred chant, teachings, prayer and silence to open the inner gates and embark on an exhilarating soul journey.
