With Rabbi Chaya Gusfield & Buddhist Teacher Eve Decker
Sitting Journaling Singing Praying Learning
Join Rabbi Chaya Gusfield and Buddhist Teacher Eve Decker to prepare our hearts for the High Holy Days.
We bring our hearts together as we reflect on themes of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur using meditation, song, writing, and learning.
Buddhist Teacher Eve Decker performs and records original songs based on Buddhist teachings, leads dharma music singing circles, teaches classes in loving-kindness for self, and presents daylong programs on dharma and music throughout Northern California. Eve is certified to teach meditation through Spirit Rock Medication Center and has worked in the Jewish community for many years as a song leader. For more on Eve see www.evedecker.com
