Loving Kindness at the Heart of Liberation: An End of Passover Retreat With Roberta Wall and Reb Kar
Join us for a two-day retreat at the end of Passover, an especially rich time for spiritual deepening. On the seventh and eighth days closing the Passover week we will explore creative interpretations of traditional Jewish mystical and contemplative practices. We will put special attention on loving kindness (Chesed in Hebrew) as the quality that permeates the Passover week. Our time together will include teachings, discussion, music, ritual and movement drawn collectively from Jewish, Buddhist and Nonviolent Communication practices. Registration and information: https://dharmakayacenter.org/all-programs/2293/loving-kindness-at-the-heart-of-liberation-an-end-of-passover-retreat/

The Mind-Body Guide to the Twelve Steps
Hi everyone, I’m a somatic therapist and grateful Romemu member. I’m excited to announce the publication of my new book The Mind-Body Guide to the Twelve Steps—a trauma-sensitive, integrative guide to recovery! Interweaving attachment theory, polyvagal theory, somatics, mindfulness, spirituality, and my own long-time experience in recovery, the book expands the Twelve Step practice beyond the conventional approach into one of “soul recovery”—a profound and sensuously embodied spiritual path. You can order the book here: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/730767/the-mind-body-guide-to-the-twelve-steps-by-nina-pick/ Please consider posting a review on Amazon and/or Goodreads to help the book reach its readers. Even a brief review makes it easier for other readers to discover the book. Please pass on information about the book to your clients, colleagues, friends, family, and community—anyone you think might benefit from an embodied and holistic approach to trauma and addiction recovery. My prayer is that this book can help all who struggle with addiction and trauma, and that our collective healing can flow out to be of service to the world. Thank you for your support of the book. May you read it in good health! In love, embodiment, and gratitude, Nina Pick www.ninapick.com

Young Adult Meet and Greet (Virtual)
Hi, I am a new (Global) member and I am interested in meeting some other young adult members. Perhaps we could organize a monthly Zoom gathering for those in their 20s-40s? Or 30s-50s? Please contact me, Amy Fleischer, at Arfleis@gmail.com, if you are interested in participating. I am happy to co-create this with others (I’m not much of an event planner, more of an “idea” person).
