EJW Network Shvat Community Gathering

Embodying the Tree of Life / Eytz Chayim / עץ חיים
with Reb Simona Aronow


Tuesday, January 9, 2024
4pm PST | 7pm EST

As we enter the month of Shvat and celebrate the sap beginning to rise inside the trees , we will embody and learn from the tree, the Eytz Chayim. Individually and in community, we open to receiving guidance through her roots, trunk branches and leaves.

Reb Simona Aronow,( BC-DTR, CMA, NCC, BCTMB) is a Dance/Movement Therapist, student of Kabbalah, and educator for over 45 years. She is empowered by Reb Zalman, z"l, as Sacred Movement and Embodiment Guide, Sacred Minister, Morat Torah, and Ritualist. Weaving traditional Jewish learning and movement together for healing and transformation, she has taught through Aleph's Tikshoret program, the National Havurah Institute, Rabbi Diane Eliott's Embodying Spirit, En-Spiriting Body Program, The Laban/Bartenieff Movement Studies Certification Program, and more. Her current passion is as director and faculty for ''Embodying the Great Mystery', a 2 year embodied Kabbalistic program, and leading ongoing Authentic Movement Retreats.
