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:The Golden Shovel: Digging in Text for New Meaning
DESCRIPTION:Thursday February 1\, 2024\n12-1:30 p.m. EST\n \nTo receive the spiritual impact of our traditional texts\, sometimes we need to turn the words upside down and inside out. In this workshop\, we will use poetic forms and techniques to bypass the logical brain and discover new levels of meaning and insight in verses from the Torah. Join Tzivia Gover in this generative workshop and learn to create a Golden Shovel poem—with a twist. The poems that results\, like a shirt that’s been turned inside out\, will reveal new patterns beneath the familiar ones.\nNo previous experience writing poetry is necessary! You will receive step-by-step guidance and support as you learn inventive ways to approach and adapt this poetic form. You can bring 1-3 verses to work with\, or use the ones that will be provided. Everyone is welcome\, whether you consider yourself a poet or not\, and no matter your familiarity with traditional texts.\n \nThe session will be recorded and sent to participants. We encourage live attendance for you to get the most out of the experience.\n \nTzivia Gover is the author of ‘Dreaming on the Page: Tap into Your Midnight Mind to Supercharge Your Writing’\, and other books about dreams\, writing\, and everyday joy.
