Nourishing that inner voice
I am a rabbi, teacher and certified master practitioner of NARM, a cutting edge modality for working with complex trauma.
For many years I was the director of Hillel of San Diego, where I loved creating vibrant, welcoming communities for all kinds of college students. I also led the Institute for Jewish Spirituality, a global leader of Jewish mindfulness and spiritual practices. I have taught Jewish mindfulness meditation, prayer, and spiritual practices in various contexts for 20 years.
I offer spiritual direction, NARM sessions, and classes on Jewish spirituality and healing for individuals and groups. I would be delighted to work with you, regardless of your background or religious affiliation.
What People Are Saying
"My learning with Rabbi Lisa Goldstein was absolutely inspiring. We spent 8 weeks exploring resilience through Jewish values. Each week, she created a sacred space (over zoom!) for my group to be authentic and share our truths. She held this sacred space when I was most excited about the learning and especially when I was most critical. No matter my reactions and perceptions of what was presented, I knew she would challenge me to think deeply, differently and critically about it all. I feel I benefited greatly from our 8 weeks of learning and I hope I will continue to benefit from her wisdom in the future! "
