$144 for 4 Sessions 

Registration is open until August 3, 2021. 

Join us as we prepare for the end of our year, and the beginning of a new one, through spiritual teachings and reflective writing on the year that has been and the one to come. Together we will study heart-opening texts from hasidic masters such as the Ba'al Shem Tov, the Maggid of Mezritch and the twentieth-century mystic Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook. Their teachings will serve as inspiration for spiritual writing exercises on questions including: Where have we shared our fullest gifts this year, and where are we thirsty to grow? What is the seed we carry with us into the new year, and what is the fruit we hope to create? What do we need to praise ourselves and others for, and what to forgive?

All sessions will be recorded and sent to participants. We encourage live attendance for you to get the most out of the experience.
