Hello Friend, At some point, our bodies will tell us to stop. Our minds will feel blank, scattered, overfilled or empty, and we will need to rest. It’s common advice to listen to our bodies, to notice when our tank is out of gas and find opportunities to pause and recoup. At the 10.27 Healing Partnership we encourage self-insight and agency and making choices informed by a deep relationship...

Hello Friend, The 10.27 Healing Partnership would like to bid Rabbi Hazzan Jeffrey Myers a warm farewell as he and his wife Janice move from Pittsburgh to New Jersey to spend more time with their wonderful family. Rabbi Myers, the Rabbi of Tree of Life Congregation since 2016, has walked with our community during tragic and joyful times. Since the October 27, 2018 synagogue shooting that...

Because of the nature of our organization, it can sometimes be unclear who...
