Resting in Still Waters
2-night Shabbaton filled with community connection, devotional prayer, and earth-based ceremony. Led by MANNA Co-Directors Daniel and Ariella.
In Sonoma County, CA May 1-3.
Daniel Schindelman Schoen creates spaces that invite intimate contact with soul and spirit.
His approach is grounded in ancient/emergent Hebraic mysticism, deep earth connection, rites of passage, and his own personal path of joy and sorrow. Daniel weaves song, story, and ritual into transformative experiences that make way for Mystery’s presence.
Rooted between the quartz mountains of Córdoba, Argentina and the redwood coast of California, Daniel aims to follow the words of Irish poet John O’Donohue and “live the gift of days which calls him”.
“I feel such a deep level of appreciation for Daniel, his beingness, his capacity, his authenticity and the ways he balances compassion and boundaries. Safe containment is how I would describe it. I love the way he weaves story and logistics, art and intellect.”
