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. In this immersion\, Rabbi Haviva Ner-David will provide resources and space to explore your feelings\, concerns\, and hopes about death and what does or doesn’t happen after. There is no set agenda: this experience offers you a path to living a fuller\, more conscious life by getting more comfortable in exploring death through learning\, discussion\, creative writing and guided visualization.\n \nThis series will be recorded and sent to participants. We encourage live attendance for you to get the most out of the experience.\n \nRabbi Dr. Haviva Ner-David is the rabbinic founder of Shmaya: A Mikveh for Mind\, Body\, and Soul\, the only mikveh in Israel open to all to immerse as they choose. Ordained as both a rabbi and an interfaith minister\, certified as a spiritual companion (with a specialty in dream work)\, and with a doctorate on mikveh from Bar Ilan University\, she offers mikveh guidance and spiritual companioning for individuals and couples\, as well as mikveh workshops and classes for groups. Rabbi Haviva is the author of three spiritual journey memoirs and a novel. Her most recent memoir\, Dreaming Against the Current: A Rabbi’s Soul Journey\, is about her journey into interspirituality and dreamwork. Her two previous spiritual journey memoirs are titled: Chanah’s Voice: A Rabbi Wrestles with Gender\, Commandment\, and the Women’s Rituals of Baking\, Bathing\, and Brightening\, and Life on the Fringes: A Feminist Journey Towards Traditional Rabbinic Ordination\, a runner up for the National Jewish Book Council Awards. Hope Valley\, her debut novel\, is about the friendship between a Palestinian and a Jewish woman in Galilee\, where Haviva lives. She is also the mother of seven and lives with FSHD\, a form of muscular dystrophy\, which has been one of her greatest teachers.\n \n\n      \n        \n      \n    \n \n \n \n \n

SUMMARY:Soulwork: Exploring Our Depths
DESCRIPTION:Tuesdays\, November 28\, December 5\, 12\, 19\, 2023 \n12-1:30 p.m. EST \n \n“From the depths I call to you!” — Psalm 130\n\n \nIn the busyness of our lives\, how often do we set aside time to explore our own depths? To listen to our souls? With a taste of four soulwork modalities based on a Gestalt approach – dreamwork\, inner child work\, nature soulwork\, and Soul Collage© – we will take the time for that introspection. Each week\, we will explore one modality. You will delve into your own inner world and share your insights in soulwork chevruta dyads and in the group meetings. Our inquiry will be framed in a Jewish-spiritual context\, with a short text study at the start of each meeting.\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 \nRabbi Dr. Haviva Ner-David is a rabbi and writer. She is the rabbinic founder of Shmaya: A Mikveh for Mind\, Body\, and Soul\, the only mikveh in Israel open to all to immerse as they choose. Ordained as both a rabbi and an interfaith minister\, certified as a spiritual companion (with a specialty in dreamwork)\, and holding a doctorate on mikveh from Bar Ilan University\, she offers mikveh guidance and spiritual companioning for individuals and couples and mikveh workshops and talks for groups. She is the author of three spiritual journey memoirs — Dreaming Against the Current; A Rabbi’s Soul Journey; and Chanah’s Voice: A Rabbi Wrestles with Gender\, Commandment; and the Women’s Rituals of Baking\, Bathing\, and Brightening; and Life on the Fringes: A Feminist Journey Towards Traditional Rabbinic Ordination\, which was a runner up for the National Jewish Book Council Awards; as well as two novels: Hope Valley and To Die in Secret; and the first and only children’s book on mikveh: Yonah and the Mikveh Fish. She lives in Israel on Kibbutz Hannaton\, is the mother of seven children\, a teacher and lives with FSHD\, a genetic muscular disease\, which has been her biggest life challenge.\n

SUMMARY:Dreamwork as a Window to the Soul
DESCRIPTION:January 25\,  February 1\, 15\, March 1\, 15\, 29\, 2023\n12:00–1:30 p.m. EST \n“A dream unexplored is like a letter not read\,” says Rabbi Hisda in the Talmud (Brachot 55b). The biblical Jacob before him called his dream a portal to the Divine. Kabbalists after them both called dreaming a form of prophecy. \nFor many of us\, dreams have become especially vivid during these tumultuous times. Whether or not that is true for you\, dreams are an invitation to look deeper. They can be a window to your soul and a channel for your divine inner voice. In six sessions\, I will introduce you to the wonderful world of dreamwork in the method I was taught\, which is primarily a Gestalt approach\, influenced by my experience in spiritual companionship. The main principle in my dreamwork is that the dream belongs to the dreamer\, and only the dreamer holds the key to decipher it. The role of the dreamworker is to help the dreamer understand their own dream\, not interpret it for them. \nParticipants will be asked to start keeping a dream journal before the immersion begins\, and together\, we will share and work our dreams. Topics will include: keeping a dream journal\, learning to “interview” our dream elements\, the ego in the dream\, following your intuition and curiosity\, dreamwork as a spiritual practice\, and more. Participants will be paired off into hevruta dream partners\, and you will be invited to work together practicing the method between sessions\, which will be every other week. Together\, we will discuss texts on dreams in pairs and as a group\, and work one another’s dreams in class\, with me demonstrating and offering guidance. \nRabbi Dr. Haviva Ner-David is the rabbinic founder of Shmaya: A Mikveh for Mind\, Body\, and Soul\, the only mikveh in Israel open to all to immerse as they choose. Ordained as both a rabbi and an interfaith minister\, certified as a spiritual companion (with a specialty in dream work)\, and with a doctorate on mikveh from Bar Ilan University\, she offers mikveh guidance and spiritual companioning for individuals and couples\, as well as mikveh workshops and classes for groups. Rabbi Haviva is the author of three spiritual journey memoirs and a novel.

Her two previous spiritual journey memoirs are titled: Chanah’s Voice: A Rabbi Wrestles with Gender\, Commandment\, and the Women’s Rituals of Baking\, Bathing\, and Brightening\, and Life on the Fringes: A Feminist Journey Towards Traditional Rabbinic Ordination\, a runner up for the National Jewish Book Council Awards. Hope Valley\, her debut novel\, is about the friendship between a Palestinian and a Jewish woman in Galilee\, where Haviva lives. She is also the mother of seven and lives with FSHD\, a form of muscular dystrophy\, which has been one of her greatest teachers. \nAll sessions will be recorded and sent to participants.

SUMMARY:Dreaming Against the Current: Exploring Spiritual Modalities
DESCRIPTION:In this session\, we will explore some of Rabbi Haviva’s favorite spiritual companioning modalities\, including dreamwork\, nature soul work\, and inner child work. She will read excerpts from her new memoir\, Dreaming Against the Current: A Rabbi’s Soul Journey\, as examples of the modalities at work\, and participants will be given prompts to begin to do some of that work themselves. There will be time for sharing as well. Participants are encouraged to come prepared with a pencil and notebook for journaling as well as an image from a dream\, a significant childhood event you feel changed your life in some way\, and a favorite animal\, tree\, or any other aspect of nature. \nRabbi Dr. Haviva Ner-David is the rabbinic founder of Shmaya: A Mikveh for Mind\, Body\, and Soul\, the only mikveh in Israel open to all to immerse as they choose.
