about Last Year's Retreat

Kabbalah teaches that all of life, all of being, depends on the balance and relationship between the feminine and masculine. It is the balance of our minds & hearts; a harmony that effects all the relationships in our lives - parents, spouses & lovers, children, friends, co-workers and even the earth itself.

The Spiritual Approach to Relationships
Intimacy is Not for Lovers Only

Join us for this event-filled weekend cruise & workshop and dance, sing, learn and enjoy your way to deeper, better and more fulfilling relationships in every aspect of your life.

Come with your friends, your loved ones, or come alone...but don’t miss this fun and wonderful weekend at sea!

Relationships - A Spiritual Approach

A Kabbalistic journey to the heart & soul of relationships with
Rabbi Marc Labowitz of
TAO - The South Florida Center for Jewish Renewal

 


"If I had known how amazing this retreat was going to be, I would have booked earlier, paid 50% more, and invited everyone I know to take part!"

- Bob Heaton (April 2007 retreat attendee)

"Rabbi Marc has a way of touching sweet, simple truths with wisdom, humor and relevance. Each day we were drawn deeper into discovering ourselves. As the huge ship rocked us all with the same gentle motion, it seemed the perfect accompaniment to the romance we entered into with our souls."

- Anne Goldberg (April 2007 retreat attendee)

"You teach how we may all move into that
All-unifying way toward knowing not only
Our selves but simultaneously each other—to then
Be giving and taking beautiful flows of feeling.

Getting wrapped in prayer by you has
Lifted my soul—those moments revealed
The garment of my inner longing that
All could then see shining out!"

- Excerpt of a poem by Adam Aktin April 2007 retreat attendee
