EJW Network November Community Gathering (Kislev/כסלו)
Welcoming Kislev: Kindle the Inner Flame (להדליק)
Thursday, November 17, 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. This month's session will feature Hebrew chanting with Interfaith Minister Miriam Rubin, plus a dance journey & journaling practice guided by Network member Rebecca Sharzer. We will explore themes of the current season and welcome the new month together with embodied practice. 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.
Community Gatherings are offered monthly as part of the Embodied Jewish Wisdom Network. Become a member to attend these events live, or to view after, and connect with our growing community!
