The Hanukkah Choir of Silence

A personal reflection on the moment the candles go out. I like to read a poem in that moment of solitude as to me the moment the symbol of the lights are gone, I feel the moment more.


It’s not the choir of candles and their glow

Or the prayers or smiling friends.

It’s when they’re gone

When I’m alone

And the candles glow no more

And the wicks have bowed their heads low

Their life force smokes

Of oneness with Her

With comtemplation of Her

Rising back to the Source

Learning to Say "We": Writing Identity

In this immersion, we will reflect and expand on our personal experiences of identity, using writing exercises and in-depth discussions to think about, challenge, discover, explore, and experiment with different ways to identify ourselves, to consider how those ways connect us to and separate us from others, and how they represent and misrepresent aspects of who we are.

Four sessions, starting June 15th
