SUMMARY:Holding Each Other
DESCRIPTION:Two is better than one…for should they fall one can lift the other.\n–Ecclesiastes 9-10\nWe are here. We’re in this challenging time together. \nRitualwell invites you for a weekly meeting time where we will lift each other up with prayer\, song and creative prompts. Join us every Thursday from 12-12:30pm EST \nBring pen and paper– each week a different poet/liturgist will lead us in an expressive prompt. Pour out your feelings in words\, images\, doodles or whatever works best for you. We look forward to seeing you. Invite a friend or loved one who might appreciate this comforting space. \nUpcoming Date: March 28th \nGuest speaker: Tiferet Welch \n \n  \nTiferet Welch is a poet whose work is inspired by kabbalah. She writes: “My poetry is\, I hope\, steeped in modern Jewish mysticism and draws on the arc of Torah and deeply felt personal experience to create a sensuous and sensual swirl of living in and through the four worlds\, especially in the time of the pandemic\, the death of my mother\, and sadly\, post October 7th. Exploring the parshiot by way of the sages\, drawing out the kaballistic essence\, mining the subterranean allusions of the Hebrew letters and binding them all within the personal\, the poems form a chronicle of this liminal time.” \n  \n

SUMMARY:Jewish Coming-of-Age Stories: Writing the Younger You
DESCRIPTION:Thursdays\, February 8\, 15\, 22\, 29\, 2024 \n12-1:30 p.m. EST\n$180 for four sessions \nAll of us have our coming-of-age stories: events we experienced as children\, teens\, and young adults. Your experiences may be humorous and pleasantly nostalgic. They may be profound or disturbing. This four-session immersion will give you a chance to tell the stories of the younger you in poetry and micro memoir.\n \nWe will begin each session by reading and discussing some representative poems and micro memoir pieces of one or several paragraphs\, written by various writers\, both Jewish and not. Then\, using prompts and thematic suggestions\, you will be invited to write the stories of the younger you–perhaps about school days\, starter jobs\, life-cycle events\, family times and holidays\, foods\, spiritual awakenings\, relationships\, and anything else. Some of your writing might center on being Jewish\, but that is not required. We will have time during each session to share and appreciate each other’s work. Writers of any level of experience are welcome.\nAll sessions will be recorded and sent to participants. We encourage live attendance for you to get the most out of the experience. \n \nLynn Levin is a poet and writer.
