Ferocious Love - A Passover Supplement
This year the theme of Passover is more urgent than ever. The people of our country are experiencing losses of freedom in work, faith, ethnicity, race, sexual and gender orientation, education, freedom for the future of our planet, freedom over our bodies, freedom to vote, even freedom to speak. We must respond to this takeover. We must do it with love and with urgency, with intensity yet kindness, never losing sight of the goal of a world a community of love and care.
I have teamed with Designer + Art Historian Alva Horton to bring you Ferocious Love, to enhance your Passover Seders with the messages of caring for the self and caring for all of creation with passionate goodness.
Ferocious Love is a supplement you can download and print as a companion to your Haggadah.
Fee:
$20.70
NOTE: Initially you will receive a download link that WILL not be for the supplement. We expect to send the supplement by April 2nd and you will receive it in your email.
Your Omer Journey 5785
The 49-day Omer journey is one of the most powerful processes I have ever engaged. It is spiritual, metaphysical, earth-centered and embodied all at once. It is a connection between divinity and earth.
As we conclude our Second Night Seder we begin this count of the 49 days between Passover and Shavuot, preparing us first to meet the Infinite One at Mt. Sinai, then fueling us for the work beyond. This year we need this journey more than ever.
Using Kabbalah’s sefirot - Divine Emanations, Your Omer Journey 5785 is a virtual course to guide us as we walk this path. Through seven gatherings we will deeply explore the sefirah of the week, delving into its mystical and practical applications, preparing us for the energetic opportunities available to us. It will be accompanied by a written guide including embodied, earth-centered, teachings for each day’s practice.
Sessions will be held virtually, 6:00 PM – 7:15 PM Eastern on the following dates:
*Wednesday April 9
Sundays, April 20, 27, May 4, 11, 18, 25
*Session 1 will be held early as the Omer counting begins during hag (holiday) on the Second Night of Passover.

Woman-Pause
The life journey we walk as women guides us through many phases of identity and experience. From young girl to maiden, to woman, to parent-professional-partner, to middle age and into crone, the process of change illuminates questions, discomforts, uncertainties, discoveries, and new abilities. Join us for a day exploring the creative transformation of maturing through perimenopause, menopause and postmenopause. In the safe circle of people identifying as women, we will explore the sacred embodied experience of who we’ve been, who we are and who we are becoming.
With Rabbi Robin Damsky and Rachel Lewis-Marlow, MS, EdS, LCMHC, LMBT

Hashkatah/Shavasana
Hashkatah is a practice created by the Piasezcner Rebbe in the Warsaw Ghetto during WWII. As a prisoner and leader, he created this powerful healing mindfulness practice which has a deep capacity for restoring and giving hope. BKS Iyengar taught a different process: a resting practice in the Shavasana pose (at the end of most yoga sessions) that calms and restores. Through experimentation I discovered that blending these two practices offers extraordinary opportunities to heal our sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, giving us new choices. Whether you are dealing with trauma, PTSD, or just regular-old stress, this course can offer deep healing and renewal.
Six Tuesdays, 6:00-7:00pm Eastern: January 14, 21, 28, February 11, 18 and 25*
*This is a virtual class. Sessions will be recorded and available to view on your own schedule.

Ma Tovu! How Wonderful is this Dwelling Place
Our body is the temple of our soul. It is intimately connected to the body of the Earth and her rhythms - which bring us so many types of nourishment. Guided by texts from Torah, Maimonides, the Siddur and Mysticism, we will use Jewish wisdom to enhance the spirituality of our physical self. Conversations, learning with breath, meditation, sound and movement... Oh, and did I say food?... will help us cultivate a richer relationship with our physical experience as we journey on this beautiful planet.

Hanukkah
Lighting the hanukkiah (Hanukkah menorah) is a spiritual practice that helps us to cultivate our inner light, and then guides us to offer it out to shine more brightly. On social media and/or on my YouTube channel, share this lighting and practice with me through the eight nights of Hanukkah.

Hanukkah
How often does Hanukkah coincide with the secular New Year’s Eve? What a powerful synchronicity. As we light the hanukkiah (Hanukkah menorah) this night, we will have the added kavanah (intention) in our spiritual practice to cultivate ever brighter light within, seeing how to shine it more fully to heal the darkness in the world around us.

Cultivating Gratitude
Gratitude has a powerful effect on our minds and bodies. Our rabbis of old knew this when they talked in the Talmud about cultivating a gratitude practice. Did they know that gratitude boosts our immune system, while it reduces stress, anxiety, and even depression? Did they know that creating a practice of appreciation makes for better relationships, enhances sleep, and overall just makes us happier? Join me to explore the power of gratitude.
