Tikkun HaNefesh-Tikkun Olam
21st Century Healing: Exploring Antisemitism Through the Lens of Renewal
3 Mondays: November 9, 16, December 7 OR 14
6:30 PM PST/9:30 PM EST
Suggested Tuition: $36
You are invited to participate in a 3-part series to take a deep and expansive dive into antisemitism from the lens of renewal. We will look at how humanity, despite the beautiful Wholeness of Divine Creation, has been shaped by “Othering.”
No matter your political views, your background, your current experiences, or your beliefs, together we will look at how we can heal core wounds and disconnections — from Source (the Divine) and from each other.
Each 90 minute class will be taught from within as safe a container as we can all co-create. There will be time to learn about the issues and time to process them with an optional 30 minute Tikkun HaNefesh sharing circle after each class.
