Each reading is accompanied by a creative writing prompt\, allowing you to express the light of your creativity throughout the holiday. This printable PDF will be sent to you electronically.\n \nWhen you purchase the journal\, you will also receive a recording of a special Hanukkah event featuring Jewish mindfulness teacher\, Rabbi Daniel Raphael Silverstein. Delve into how our ancient sages and mystics have understood Hanukkah as a time to enhance our ability to perceive the Or Haganuz\, or Hidden Light. This light\, believed to have been present at the creation of the Universe\, symbolizes the unity of all existence. It represents hope\, connection\, and redemption\, making Hanukkah a perfect time to practice recognizing and appreciating this light\, which\, though concealed\, is present in everything surrounding us.\n \n\n \n \n \n \n  URL:https://ritualwell.org/event/write-your-light-prepare-for-hanukkah-with-the-ritualwell-community/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://ritualwell.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/Write-Your-Light-RW-Hero-Bar.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250102T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250102T140000 DTSTAMP:20260406T033630 CREATED:20241203T162335Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241203T162335Z UID:28838-1735822800-1735826400@ritualwell.org SUMMARY:Nia into the NEW Year DESCRIPTION:January 2\, 2025\n1:00-2:00 p.m. EST\n \nStart 2025 in active movement and flow of you body and creativity through the practice of Nia!\n \nJoin the Ritualwell community and Nia instructor Janice Steinberg (who is also one of our Advot members) to engage your body\, spirit and creativity through Nia movement followed by prompts for reflection and writing. No experience needed.\n \nNia is based on the philosophy that everyone can enhance their potential for a healthy\, meaningful life by engaging their senses and listening compassionately to their bodies. While it is adaptable to individual needs and abilities\, its core principle is finding your body’s joy of movement\, whether that’s swaying gently in a chair or dancing. Nia is low-impact and designed to be done barefoot. But it’s fine to wear tennis or jazz-dance shoes if that’s best for you. What you’ll need is a clear space so you have room to move\, or\, if you choose to stay seated that will work\, too.\n \nHave writing materials at hand. You may want art materials\, as well.\n \n\nThis session will be recorded and sent to participants. We encourage live attendance for you to get the most out of the experience.\n\n \nJanice Steinberg (she/her) holds a Black Belt in the Nia dance-fitness practice and has been teaching for 15 years\, including events for Ritualwell. She is the author of the novel The Tin Horse (Random House) and a five-book mystery series published by Berkley.\n \n \n \n \n \n  URL:https://ritualwell.org/event/nia-into-the-new-year/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:Event,Free ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://ritualwell.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/Nia_Janice_Jan2025-RAW.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250107T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250107T133000 DTSTAMP:20260406T033630 CREATED:20241011T124204Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250109T162441Z UID:28203-1736251200-1736256600@ritualwell.org SUMMARY:Facing Our Death to Live More Fully: A Jewish Approach DESCRIPTION:Tuesday January 7\, 14\, 21 and 28\, 2025\n12-1:30 p.m. EST\n$180\n \nDeath is the one commonality that every human being shares\, yet too often\, we hesitate to explore our emotions and energy related to our mortality and what it means to have finite time on earth.
