From אבילות to אהבה Pain to Love: Av & the Full Spectrum of Feeling (Av/אב)
July Community Gathering
Thursday, July 28, 2022
10am PST | 1pm EST | 8pm Israel
Every month we join together around a theme for embodied practice and to experience one another’s leadership. We will share teaching gems for the current season; capture new themes; acknowledge methods that we have found to be especially inspiring for us and our students. Each session is led by a few members of the collective and includes time for gathering in smaller groups to deepen our connection over time.
In preparation for this month, Gail Rosenheim Gurewitz will guide us in a practice to open our physical, energetic, and emotional bodies and then allow our bodies to move more organically with music to assist us.
Please bring: a small hand towel, a yoga mat & any yoga props you need. Prepare a sacred space to move.
