Channel the River- An Extreme Sport tailored to every ability! (individual coaching and small group sessions each day) Learn to navigate the river -- climbing, floating, swimming against the current, body surfing, reptilian crawling, rock resting, hanging-on-branch-stretch, and more techniques to use the River as a natural jungle gym to explore and challenge our own physical abilities and limitations and how we "cope with" our resistance and "relax into" the flow we do not control. The Jordan is not only a miraculous river (the very cells of this river still exclaim, "Am Yisrael Come Home! Enter the Land!"), it is an endlessly inspiring playground within which to explore the Land of our Soul. The River is a living metaphor upon which to hang our experience of "channeling" our personal Divine Flow into our physical being
Private Healing sessions for energetic release & rejuvenation🌈are available with Maskit Ben Moshe and Nechama Shaina.
