Stillness, Silence, and Darkness

This is a recording of a Torah-Dharma talk given June 18, 2025 at the St. Rafaela Center in Haverford, PA on the “Broken/Open: Fragments Together” retreat.

Themes include a mystical encounter in Jerusalem; reflections on the self, non-self, and prayer; dance and contact improvisation; embracing neurodivergence; sitting practice and the concept/experience of stillness; sensory perception and interroception; sound in our lives; synesthesia and silence; darkness and mystery; binding processes; and a personal parenting mantra.
