Returning Somewhere New ๐
Four Mondays of Learning, Practice, and Reflection
The weeks leading up to the Jewish New Year are ripe for inner harvest, spiritual intimacy, and renewed connection. Over four Mondays, weโll gather to explore Kabbalistic poetics, neo-Hasidic wisdom, somatic practice, and non-dual psychology.
What Weโll Explore
Week 1 (Aug 25): Teshuva (returning) โ from rabbinic thought to Hasidic teaching (including Reb Zusha of Hanipol) to spiritual practice. Weโll also share our working understanding of โGodโ as the Experience-Consciousness underlying all things.
Week 2 (Sept 1): Teachings from Rav Kook on the โlightโ of Teshuva and practices of non-dual psychology โ opening questions of intimacy, alignment, and desire.
Weeks 3 & 4 (Sept 8 & 15): Continuing to weave sources, poetics, and embodiment โ likely including Betty Martinโs Wheel of Consent โ in ways that respond to the group.
