I stepped out of Providence this month enjoy the facets of my own mind. I hoped over to Shelburne, MA for a 10 day Vipassana meditation retreat. Or as some might say a meditation "expedition." Expedition literally means getting your foot unstuck. In many ways, that is the goal of Vipassana meditation -- get yourself unstuck from old habit-patterns that are unhelpful.
In this vein, Moishe House really helps to live spontaneously and creatively. Here we have a budget and a mandate to engage and interact with the local community of Jews. So we listen carefully to the needs and desires of our community and look to collaborate to create new forms of joyful living.
This month we co-sponsored a birthday party at the beach for one of Jesse's AEPi brothers. What a great way to support the post-college Jewish community. My thanks goes out to the Moishe masters where-ever they might be scattered around the world...
