Descriptions of Afternoon Offerings:

Forest Bathing with Sari Telpner

Please join T.E.S. Member and Certified Forest Therapy Guide, Sari Telpner of Wild Wellness Guide, for a Yom Kippur Forest Bathing Experience. We’ll slow way down as we meander and connect in a new way with the natural world and our own inner nature. We’ll ground ourselves through our senses and connect with The More Than Human World through a series of sensory “Invitations.”  Forest Bathing and Yom Kippur offer us space to leave our normal sense of time and orientation towards “doing” and step into an embodied way of “being”.  We’ll connect in a new way with the land, ourselves and others as we unplug, rest, renew and clear out hearts and minds before stepping into the new year ahead. We complete our experience with a wild foraged forest tea ritual. Please join me and our community as we welcome in the year ahead through intention; bathing in the essence of the forest and connecting in a new way with The Earth.
Pre-register with Sari to hold your place and receive all the details including our meeting site at Lithia Park,
541-482-4095

12 spaces are available and Pre-registration is required to hold your spot.

The experience is appropriate for age 14 and over. We will be standing and walking very slowly for about the first 1.5 hours and seated for our tea ritual.

 

Yom Kippur Conversation/Teaching with Emily Simon

As we go into the new year and as we reflect on the interactions and disagreements we have had with others, what can the sources in the Torah and Talmud teach us about how to improve those interactions for the coming year.

Meditation with Sheila Canal

Please join us as we do some deep relaxation as an embodied practice of scanning and relaxing, restoring and renewing. Please note that this can be done laying down or sitting and it is the one meditation where it’s fine to fall asleep. We will meet in the Art Room at Temple Emek Shalom, and participants are also welcome to join us on Zoom.
