MEDITATION CHAVURAH
C A L M-C L A R I T Y- F E L L O W S H I P
Join us for our weekly meetings and special events.
NO EXPERIENCE NEEDED- Beginners are welcome, encouraged and supported to give us a try!
What is a weekly session like?
We gather, greet and get comfy on a couch or chair. Some wrap up in a light blanket.
Lights are turned off, candles are lit, and we are lead through some seated stretching and guided relaxation.
The chant leader then begins to melodically chant song phrases from our liturgy accompanied by light drumming rhythms. It is a combination of call and response and unison. Participants sing along, hum, breathe... remain quiet....
There is no “correct way” to participate- once the tunes feel familiar, many participants find themselves swept up into the melody and rhythms and find themselves singing and drumming along. Chanting feels freeing and wonderful!
The chanting then winds down and launches us into a 21 minute silent meditation.
The alarm chimes and we come back to ourselves refreshed and relaxed. It’s good stuff!

Announcing Sanctuary & Social Renewal Sprint 2
Our goal is to raise $50,000 by June 30 to build a spiritual Jerusalem stone wall backdrop integrated with the bimah, with recessed lighting and built-in space for a permanent ark.We plan to have the sanctuary construction done during the summer so that we can be ready for the High Holy Days. We thank everyone who has donated to our earlier phase.
Above you can see a rendering of these exciting plans (place holders for ark and furniture). Along with the movable wall and new seating these changes will begin to give our sanctuary the feel of a permanent worship space. Click here to read full details on the project.
