Understanding Embodiment:
Experiencing the Divine
with Rishe Groner
What is Embodiment? The term has become more common over the years, and takes on various meanings depending on its context, community and usage. As we grow in our study of embodied Jewish wisdom, we'll explore:
What does it mean to be embodied?
How do we embody the Divine in Jewish tradition?
What are the core teachings of our mystic tradition, and how do they approach embodiment?
Through practice, discussion and reference to our sacred texts, we'll explore our various perspectives on embodiment and consider our personal practices that enable us to embody the Divine in our daily lives.
This is an Advanced Learning session for the Embodied Jewish Wisdom Network members.
Join today and enjoy ongoing advanced learning, community gatherings, and resource sharing.
