מה יותר מניע אותנו כשאנחנו צריכים לבחור? סקרנות או פחד? עצה מאחר או תחושת בטן? האם אנחנו מעזים להקשיב ללב שלנו גם כשהוא "בוגדני" או חושש לסבול?
במפגש הקרוב נצא למסע בעקבות תובנותיהם של פאולו קואלו ("האלכימאי"), יואב בלום ("מצרפי המקרים") ורבי נחמן מברסלב.
זהו מפגש חווייתי המשלב שיתוף אישי, קריאת טקסטים ומסע אינטראקטיבי בספרד של המאה ה-19, שבו לכל החלטה שתקבלו יש משמעות - וגם כמה הפתעות מתוקות בדרך.

We invite you to an intimate group workshop just before the holiday. We won't be cleaning baseboards or scrubbing pots. Instead, we'll take a moment to pause and examine what inner "Chametz" we are carrying in our backpacks: limiting beliefs, stress, the expectations of others (or our own), and everything that no longer serves us. Come with an open mind to experience a short, powerful process, and to connect with other people on the same wavelength. Sharing is not mandatory if you don't want to – you can simply come and just be.
