Walk-in-all-Your-ways-a-thon
This year, the theme of the Summer Institute is "Walking in all Your ways." We will explore this theme in community, considering what it means to be one of “Your” (or “G-d’s”) ways, how we choose the paths that we take, and how we build communities that embrace multiple paths. (Not registered yet? Scholarships and travel grants are still available! www.havurah.org/institute)
The planning committee would also like to encourage you to participate in our "Walk-in-all-Your-ways-a-thon," in order to take advantage of the unique opportunity to focus on exploring the theme personally in the midst of a loving, supportive community. We invite you to challenge yourself to find a new “way” to “walk” during our week together. Examples of possible personal challenges include meeting a certain number of new people, studying a certain amount of text, learning a certain number of new songs, climbing Mt. Mondadnock, volunteering every day, etc., but possibilities are only limited by your imagination.
As a "Walk-in-all-Your-ways-a-thon" participant, after identifying your goal, you would ask friends and family to support your resolve in meeting that challenge by pledging financial support for the NHC, which is providing you with the opportunity to focus on such personal growth in a loving and supportive environment.
Everyone, of every age, is invited and encouraged to participate. Participation does not have to be individual; you are welcome to find yourself a challenge buddy or take on a goal as a family.
Ready to "walk" (or to support other walkers)?
- Find more information and a pledge sheet here!
- See what others will be challenging themselves to do at http://tinyurl.com/Walk-in-all-Your-ways-a-thon. Add your own commitment--whether that means listing a new challenge or signing on to join someone else--or pledge your support to someone else!
- Ask your personal contacts to support your effort. Sample email solicitation available here.
Not coming to Institute? There's no reason that you can't set a goal for personal growth for the week anyway! If you don't think you'll have the right focus without Institutenik energy surrounding you, you can still pledge support for others' efforts.
