IFS CHABURA -
WOMEN'S UMAN RETREAT
For 25 years I have been taking groups of women on pilgrimages to the holy sites of Rebbe Nachman, the Ba'al Shem Tov, and others - in the Ukraine. Now I'd love to take you, my IFS sisters! Mamesh a dream coming true! Y'all asked for the link to get more Self Energy -
THIS IS IT!!!
These trips are among the greatest highlights of my life - and I don't say that lightly. I'll try and share a bit here, but you really will only understand if you come...
Who heals the healer?
You do so much for your family, clients, and community. Who can you turn to when you need a spiritual, emotional and physical reboot? If you are the Self that hold it all together, where can Self plug in and get more SELF?
I am honored to invite you to join the second 'Who heals the healer' Pilgrimage, join other like-minded female therapists in learning, praying, growing and healing, in an experience like no other.
Have you been curious about Rebbe Nachman, but not sure where to begin, how to connect? Wondered what a modern professional woman might find in Uman?
Would you love a chance to learn more about how our work and our Torah tradition come into alignment?
We are part of a long line of Jewish healers
What can the Ba'al Shem Tov, his daughter Udel, Rebbe Nachman and his students teach us about healing?
In their times, even non-Jews traveled long distances to receive their blessings and healing. The Gemara teaches us that Tzaddikim, even in their deaths are considered alive. We can receive their blessings, learn from their writings, and continue their work for the many in need in this generation. Draw living waters from their nourishing wellsprings.

Testimonials - from women like you who had the time of their lives!
"Going to Uman with Shalvi and the amazing group of healers was something that I never planned on doing. But I'm so glad that I did! There are no words to express how transformational it was for me! Depth, and deep connections that touched the core of my neshama. You'll only know once you go!"
-Emuna Shayna Scodnick, Director of Merkaz Sion in the Golan
"Shalvi is an inspiring, knowledgeable guide. The depth of her connection and understanding of the Tzaddikim and their Torah, and her ability to inspire and facilitate a group process on a deep spiritual and psychological journey were outstanding. Sure to be life changing and deeply nourishing." -Bluma Shaindle Bank, Hakomi Attachment Therapist
"I had no expectations when I signed up to travel to Uman with Shalvi. That way I wouldn't be disappointed. Wow, the journey ended up being amazing and revealing! Shalvi led our group wih fresh creativity each day. She opened my eyes to a very personal truth which helps me understand my life until this day. Thank you Shalvi - I wish I could go again!" -Rebbetzin Tova Weingot
"Shalvi took me with a group of women on an incredible journey to Uman. Her leadership was grounded, organized and inspiring- far beyond my expectations. Shalvi shared deep teachings at each gravesite, and facilitated therapeutic interventions that were connected to the essence of every Rebbe that we visited. I highly recommend this trip to anyone. I had resistance to going to the Ukraine, and I didn't think that I was on the spiritual level to fully appreciate this trip, but I had the time of my life!" Nechama Shaina Langer, Expressive Arts Therapist
Trip Details: June 3-9th
"Can I be openly spiritual and not necessarily more religious or more observant? I found the answer in Medzibuz at the spring and mikveh of the Baal Shem Tov. The spring is famed to have healing powers. Along with many women in my group, we toveled (dipped). The water was cold, some screamed out in shock. To me the water was cold, but more significantly it was refreshing. As we toveled one after the other, I shared the experience with a Hasiddishe FFB wife and mother of 12 whose head was shaved, wearing a sheitel and hat, seemingly worlds apart in our backgrounds and observances. I felt a connection to everything around me, to my spirituality, to life, to her, maybe even to Hashem. In that moment, I felt renewed, I felt refreshed, I felt some of the spirituality I was yearning for. I began to feel my uninhibited self enjoy breaking out in song and dance with tears both of joy and sadness as I connected and really felt a part of this group of amazing women healers on my trip. I wasn’t sure what I came looking for, or what I would find. But at the well, the spring and the mikveh of the Baal Shem Tov, I felt more connected to my spirituality and who I was and wanted to be and who I hope to continue to be." - Excerpt from an article by fellow participant Debby Duitch, MD.
