Jewish Meditation Online Course Aug. 7, 14, 21, 28

I am teaching a four-class Jewish mindfulness course in August called Zman Nakat, based on my book Toronto Method Mindfulness Handbook: Six Lessons in Embodied and Compassionate Meditation. This will be held on Wednesday evenings from 7:30-8:30pm ET (Aug. 7, 14, 21, 28) at neySHEV (“we SIT”) –online Jewish meditation community.

During each one-hour live online class, we will learn Judaic mnemonics for mindful presence and self-compassion using familiar prompts from the Jewish tradition, and sit in guided and silent meditation.

Zman Nakat loosely translates to tempus fugit, or “time flies,” which is a metaphor apropos mindfulness. The phrase is also an heuristic corresponding to the first letter of each of the Six Orders of the Mishna.

Enrolment is limited. To express interest and/or sign up, please send an email to info@kaplanlaw.ca. Suggested cost for the course is $89 (+HST) (sliding scale) and payment can also be made by subscribing to neySHEV, as you are able.

The course is accredited by the Law Society of Ontario for 3.0 professionalism hours inclusive of 1.0 EDI hour. You do not need to be a lawyer to take this class.
