I have to say that I absolutely love your idea for the Shavuot event. It is my favorite Jewish holiday and I love seeing more people acknowledge it!
The question on healing...I have a few things I've been doing the past few months that I've noticed have made a pretty tangible difference in my days. One is taking time to appreciate my body--so signing up for yoga and exercise classes and committing to them. Another is keeping a gratitude journal. I try to see modeh anee in the morning, but unfortunately this is the practice I end up forgetting the most.
I note in passing that gratitude and mindfulness are central to this site and way of thinking and believing. So, too, those are both key elements in Buddhist writings. Thus they seem universal values for helping individuals to better in tune with our world.
