Tending the Light:
A Silent Jewish Mindfulness Meditation Retreat

Sunday, November 16 – Thursday, November 20, 2025
Garrison Institute, Garrison, NY

We are thrilled to be returning to the beautiful, serene Garrison Institute in Garrison, NY, for a silent retreat led by IJS faculty and other experienced, beloved instructors. Over five days, we’ll focus on enhancing our practice through meditation alongside Jewish teachings, mindful prayer, and yoga/embodied practice.

Our days will include time for smaller sessions in two tracks — one for those newer to Jewish mindfulness meditation and one for those with more experience. There will also be opportunities to mindfully explore the beautiful grounds and forested trails of the Garrison Institute.

Our instructors will include Rabbi Nancy Flam, Senior Core Faculty Rabbi Miriam Margles, Core Faculty Rebecca Schisler, and Senior Faculty Fellow Rabbi Jordan Bendat-Appell.

This retreat is open to participants of all ages and experience levels. This retreat will be held mostly in silence, except for opening and closing meals, Q&A, communal prayer, and one-on-one sessions with instructors.
