Join us for a three-week creative spiritual journey.
- Aug. 18: The Gate of Awakening: Elul as a Threshold to the Soul
- Aug. 25: The Gate of Tears: Honoring What We Carry
- Sept. 1: The Gate of Intention: Releasing What Binds, Returning to What Matters
Join us on a three-week creative spiritual journey through the Hebrew month of Elul in preparation for the Jewish High Holy Days of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. During this season we open our hearts to embrace the new and shed the old, awakening our spirits as we transform and draw closer to the Divine. Together we’ll journey through three metaphorical gates—from awakening to release—each one inviting us to pause, reflect, and create as we prepare ourselves for the turning of the year. Drawing on powerful images from Jewish text and tradition, we’ll explore how the gates of awakening, tears, and return can soften and open us to transformation.
During these weekly two-hour, in-person sessions, we will engage in the Jewish Studio Process, a unique methodology that builds creative capacity by combining art therapy practices with a reimagined approach to Jewish learning. This series will be facilitated by Hannah Richman Kearney.
This series is offered in partnership with The Well at Temple Beth Elohim.
