Throughout the Jewish world today, few spiritual legacies resonate as broadly and deeply as that of Rebbe Nachman of Breslov (1772 - 1810).
 
He is well-known for his powerful sayings that have touched and uplifted countless souls, some of which have become famous songs, for example:
 
"The whole world is a very narrow bridge..."
 
"If you believe you can damage, then believe that you can repair."
 
Rebbe Nachman was the great-grandson of the Ba'al Shem Tov, who ignited the Chasidic spiritual revolution.
 
Rebbe Nachman not only continued the path of his ancestor; he blazed his own path that was uniquely creative, innovative and psychologically rich.
 
In this course, we will study and discuss some of Rebbe Nachman's most insightful and poetically beautiful teachings, and experience meditative practices designed to help us embody and integrate their wisdom into our daily lives.
 
Themes we will explore together include:
The centrality of our body in our spiritual practice;
The oscillating path of Teshuvah (returning to our highest selves);
How our thoughts and consciousness affect reality;
Our unique mission in the world each day;
Cultivating joy despite challenges;
Music as a spiritual tool;
The practice of praying in our own words (Hitbodedut);
And maintaining growth, resilience and equanimity throughout the challenges of life.
