Mindfulness Mini-Retreat<br>Led by <br>Rabbi Jeff Roth <br>Sunday, March 7, 2010<br>From 2:30 to 8:30 P.M.<br>In Fort Lauderdale, FL<br></font></span></b></center>
<div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left" class="gmail_quote"><br><br><b>Rabbi Jeff Roth </b>is founder and director of the <b>Awakened Heart Project for Contemplative Judaism</b>. His teachings offer a fresh take on meditation that focuses on using the distilled wisdom of Judaism and Buddhism as a way to learn from life experience. By combining these two traditions, he presents a model that allows Westerners of all backgrounds to embrace timeless Eastern teachings without sacrificing their birth traditions. Through didactic presentations and the time to practice and implement what we learn, participants will learn the basic skills needed to continue practice on their own. <br>
<br>We recommend that you attend the whole event; however, if unable, we offer you an opportunity to join us for the regular Sangha time from 6:30 to 8:30 pm free of charge. Rabbi Jeff Roth will do a program during that time that is meaningful also for people who were not present for the first four hours. Please let us know when you register what portion of the day you will be attending. <br>
<br>In the Buddhist and Jewish spirit of generosity and inclusiveness, Dharma Teachings are offered free of charge.
