This Hanukkah, join us for a unique exploration of ritual, awareness, movement and light. Rabbi Tsurah August, a teacher rooted in somatic practice, mindfulness and Jewish mystical tradition, invites us into Embodying the Light — a session to awaken our bodies, our hearts and our spiritual vision. In this gathering we will:
- Set a mindful tone for Hanukkah, grounding our awareness, centering in presence.
- Use gentle movement, breath and guided reflection to awaken our capacity to sense light within and around us.
- Explore the theme of “light in darkness” and the ways our bodies carry, reflect and share that light.
- Offer prompts and moments for creative embodiment—through movement, drawing, journaling or simply listening and witnessing.
Whether you’re familiar with mindfulness or new to embodied ritual, this practice is open and inclusive. Come as you are—with openness, curiosity, and your own unique presence. Bring a journal or sketch pad if you wish, wear comfortable clothing, and prepare to move, breathe, reflect and kindle your inner light.
We look forward to gathering with you, to kindle together—and to carry that light into our lives, our relationships, our world.
This session will be recorded and sent to participants. We encourage live attendance for you to get the most out of the experience.
Before becoming a rabbi and chaplain,
Tsurah was a professional dancer, choreographer and movement educator for people with a broad range of movement and cognitive abilities. Dance is still her beloved form of prayer.
