Upcoming RetreatsRefuge in the Ark:
A Jewish Mindfulness Retreat
Sunday, November 15 – Thursday, November 19, 2026
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.
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.
