SUMMARY:Presence and Absence: Images of the Divine in Kabbalah
DESCRIPTION:Tuesdays\, May 7\, 14\, 21\, 28 and June 4\, 2024\n12-2:00 p.m. EDT\n$250\n \n\nWe live in a time of deep division and loneliness. The Zohar\, the 13th- century Kabbalistic work\, offers rich and beautiful images to speak to this separation\, and equally powerful ways to imagine divine presence\, healing\, and connection. In this series we will delve into the multifaceted\, dynamic Divine through the radical imagination of the Zohar. We’ll bring what we discover into our own creativity through the Jewish Studio Process\, a facilitated\, intuitive use of art materials and reflective writing. We’ll pay particular attention to the experience of the Shekhinah\, the feminine\, immanent\, indwelling Sacred Presence.\n \nThis practice is appropriate for absolute beginners and experienced artists who would like to explore this imagery. The focus isn’t on creating a polished piece of artwork\, but rather on deepening your own intuition\, insight and voice.\n\nDuring this series\, we will harvest the insights and images that have come onto the page in word and color to write new midrash and liturgy.\n \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 \n\nMargie Jacobs is a Reconstructionist rabbi who has served as a congregational rabbi\, regional director of the Institute for Jewish Spirituality\, Hillel director\, and teacher of mindfulness meditation. In 2020\, She completed the first 2-year Jewish Studio Process facilitator training. She has brought JSP to synagogues\, Hillels\, retreats\, conferences\, special events\, and groups of clergy across the country. Margie works with individuals as a Spiritual Coach and designs websites for clergy and Jewish organizations.\n \n \n\n      \n        \n      \n    \n \n\nThis Immersion is happening in partnership with the Jewish Studio Project.\n

SUMMARY:Jewish Spiritual Autobiography
DESCRIPTION:Thursdays\, May 16\, 23\, 30 and June 6\, 2024 \n12-1:30 p.m. EDT\n$180 for four sessions\n \n\nWhen we write out our spiritual paths\, it clarifies how ordinary moments of life can be holy moments. Writing a spiritual autobiography helps you to discover how teachers\, touchstones\, symbols and stories have led you to make meaning and understand the sacred in your personal story. In this immersion\, join Ritualwell’s Gabrielle Kaplan-Mayer\, a writer and spiritual director\, to map out and narrate your most meaningful life experiences. We’ll read excerpts of powerful spiritual autobiographies to inspire us and expand our understanding of the formats that this kind of writing can take. There is also ample room to write about spiritual experiences that may be outside of a Jewish framework. This immersion is for everyone—whether you identify as a religious or spiritual person or are seeking a spiritual path. No prior creative writing experience needed.\n \n\nTopics we will explore include:\n\nUnderstanding your name/birth story\nExploring family lineage/Ancestral resilience\, trauma/connections\nMapping your spiritual journey/the sacred moments in your life\nAnd more…\n\n\nParticipants will have the opportunity to share feedback with the facilitator and present to the group through the immersion.\n \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 \n\nGabrielle Ariella Kaplan-Mayer is Ritualwell’s Director of Virtual Content and Programs. She is an author and educator whose work focuses on spirituality\, creativity and disability. Her personal essays have been featured in Tablet\, Shondaland\, NBCThink\, Wisdom Daily\, WHYY and many other publications and she has published several nonfiction books as well as plays for children. Gabrielle is currently working on a memoir about the power of intuition and ongoing conversations with her ancestors. She writes a Substack newsletter called “Journey With The Seasons\,” a weekly practice of meditative reading with creative self-expression prompts. \nGabrielle holds a BFA in theater and creative writing from Emerson College and an MA in Jewish Studies from the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College. \n\n \n\n      \n        \n      \n    \n
