Seven Days to Open the Heart

a film by Jonathan Perlman

How might a seven-day silent retreat lead to a sense of deep joy and love? Jonathan arrived on retreat with few expectations. He soon discovered what's been blocking him from feeling fully alive. Through intensive practice from waking till sleeping, and the guidance of Rabbi James Jacobson-Maisels, he learns that transformation comes not from conquering thoughts, but from learning to welcome them.
