14th Annual TBZ Women’s Retreat Vayinafash: A Re-Souling (in person)

March 22, 2026    
8:30 am - 3:30 pm

Sunday, March 22: 8:30am-3:30pm (in person)

For TBZ Members Only

Vayinafash is a verb from Genesis 2:2, often translated as “God rested,” but meaning more deeply “God caught God’s breath” or “God became refreshed” on Shabbat, linking to the Hebrew word for soul (nefesh). This reminds us that Shabbat is not just about not working, but it is a sacred pause for spiritual renewal. Our retreat will be a mini sabbath for all people who experience the world as women, an opportunity for sacred pause and spiritual renewal on 3 planes of soul: nefesh, ruach, and neshama. Join us for part or all of the day to experience connection, learning, a new lunch menu, and a re-souling for the weeks and months to come!

Hear from past participants what they’ve loved about the Women’s Retreat:
“Connecting with women I hadn’t met or barely knew!! I made a new friend!”
“The connections between and build up from one session to the next – different mediums for the same goal – it was powerful.”
“Self-care and rest are particularly important to me these days, so the theme really spoke to me.”
“The slow pace, relaxed environment, different kinds of activities, and being together in person”

For TBZ Members Only. Sign up by Wednesday, March 18.
