SUMMARY:Balancing Gratitude and Grief: A Pre-Thanksgiving Writing Ritual
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, November 25\, 2025\n12-1:30 p.m. EST\n \n\n\nAs Thanksgiving approaches\, many of us hold both gratitude and grief—love for what we have and longing for what’s been lost. In this special session\, we’ll explore how Jewish tradition honors both emotions and how we can give voice to them through poetry\, prayer\, and ritual.\n \nJoin Gabrielle Kaplan-Mayer\, Ritualwell’s Director of Virtual Content and Programs\, for a reflective and creative gathering that invites you to bring your full heart to the holiday. You’ll be guided to create your own words and rituals that bring sacred awareness to your Thanksgiving table—and to everyday moments of gratitude and remembrance.\n\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 \n\nGabrielle Ariella Kaplan-Mayer is Ritualwell’s Director of Virtual Content and Programs. She is a spiritual director\, 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. Gabrielle 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
