SUMMARY:Prescription to Feel: A Guided Conversation on Love\, Loss\, and the Power of Community to Sustain Us
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, August 1\, 2024\n12-1:30 p.m. EDT\n$36\n \nRitual can help us to navigate life’s most challenging circumstances. In her new book\, Fifty-Seven Fridays author Myra Sack illustrates how embracing rituals can help us find beauty and fulfillment while simultaneously experiencing grief. She writes poignantly about the extraordinary love and extraordinary grief that she experienced during her daughter Havi’s diagnosis with Tay-Sachs disease\, through Havi’s death\, and during the first year after she died.\n \nJoin Myra and the Ritualwell community for a conversation about both her personal journey of grief\, and to learn about the many rituals that her family has developed to keep their daughter’s essence alive. Myra will share her orientation toward grief\, her exploration of bereavement-science and spirituality\, and devotion to grief literacy. She will invite us to consider this possibility: that each of us can find a different way to be in grief with ourselves and each other.\n \nDuring this event you will have an opportunity to engage in a writing prompt to reimagine grief so that it makes room for life.\n \nYou can learn more about Myra’s story here.\n \nAll sessions will be recorded and sent to participants. We encourage live attendance for you to get the most out of the experience.\n \nAn all-american\, scholar athlete who turned her love for sport into a platform for social change\, Myra Sack has led sports-based youth development non-profits for over a decade. A writer\, coach\, and activist\, she is the mother of two daughters and one son and lives in Boston\, MA with her family. Her oldest daughter\, Havi\, passed away on January 20\, 2021 of Tay-Sachs disease.\n

SUMMARY:Mitzvot through Poetry: An In-depth Immersion into Mikveh\, Challah and Candle-Lighting
DESCRIPTION:Wednesdays\, November 13\, 20\, and 27 and December 4\, 11\, and 18\, 2024\n12-1:30 p.m. EST\n$250\n \nAmong the 613 mitzvot (commandments) derived from the Hebrew Bible and observed through centuries of study and practice\, three specific mitzvot have traditionally been assigned to women: lighting Shabbat candles\, baking challah\, and observing mikveh for family purity laws. These commandments prompt many questions regarding their relevance for us today\, including:\n\nWhat do these mitzvot symbolize?\nWere they truly intended to be exclusively for women?\nHow can we interpret them in terms of contemporary gender fluidity and feminist perspectives?\nIn what ways can we align these commandments with present-day spirituality and humanist values?\nHow can we integrate these practices into modern life? Why might we choose not to?\n\n \nJoin Rachel Neve-Midbar to delve into these inquiries during a thought-provoking Ritualwell Immersion. Discover your connection to these powerful mitzvot through the exploration of ancient and modern poetry. Create your own poems inspired by our reading\, discussions and personal reflection.\n \nAll sessions will be recorded and sent to participants. We encourage live attendance for you to get the most out of the experience.\n \nRachel Neve-Midbar is a poet and essayist. Her first full-length poetry collection\, Salaam of Birds\, was chosen by Dorothy Barresi for the Patricia Bibby First Book Prize and was published by Tebot Bach in January 2020. She is also the author of the 2014 chapbook\, What the Light Reveals. Her work has appeared in many journals and anthologies.
