SUMMARY:Purim & the Poetry of Resistance
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, February 26\, 2026\n8-9:30 p.m. EST\n$18\n \n\nWhether Purim is your favorite\, somewhat problematic holiday or the source of some of your least favorite rabbinic takes\, this generative poetry workshop invites you to unpack\, reclaim\, and rewrite the sacred words we need now.\n \n\nLed by poet Anna Goodman Herrick\, author of A Speaker is a Wilderness: Poems on the Sacred Path from Broken Whole \, this Ritualwell gathering turns to the Book of Esther as a text of hiddenness\, inversion\, and holy disruption. Purim asks us to question power\, unmask false authority\, and listen for voices that have been pushed to the margins—including our own. \n\nThrough playful\, mystical writing prompts and shared reflection\, you’ll craft poems\, blessings\, and sacred language rooted in resistance\, courage\, and joy. Open to both new and seasoned writers; no prior writing experience is necessary. Come ready to play with language\, embrace the chaos\, and enter Purim as a time of celebration\, courage\, and creative rebellion.\n \n\n\n\nThis event will be recorded and sent to participants. We encourage live attendance for you to get the most out of the experience.\n \n \n\nAnna Goodman Herrick is the author of A Speaker is a Wilderness: Poems on the Sacred Path from Broken Whole (Monkfish\, 2024). They work at the intersection of spirituality\, sacred words\, and human rights\, towards collective liberation. Anna has performed their poetry at the Emily Dickinson Museum\, Patagonia’s Earth Day\, and One Billion Rising’s Artist Uprising at the El Paso Border\, and shared their work at the Library of Congress\, the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum\, and Bloomsday on Broadway. They have poetry in Spirituality + Health Magazine\, Rattle\, and The Los Angeles Press. Anna has created work for television and branded content for Teen Vogue\, Sony\, ABC Family\, Oprah Winfrey Network\, MTV\, and the Sundance Channel\, and created installations based on their poetry for museums and galleries worldwide.
