About Nourishing The Soul
There has never been a more exciting time to live a Jewish life, nor more opportunity to access Jewish thought and ritual to add to our spiritual growth. Nourishing The Soul Workshops (NTS) provide access to diverse expressions of Judaism's traditions and perspectives. Founded and run by innovator Tracie Bernstein, NTS offers two distinct opportunities for Soulful engagemkent
-
NTS Facilitation offers small organizations the rare combination of outcome-driven retreats that are centered in shared goals, deep listening and respect. One participant remarked, "More happens in one day with Tracie than in most 3-dayconferences I've attended. I didn't just leave feeling good about our team. I left with a comprehensive plan for moving forward."

NTS Adult Workshops, designed for Jewish and Jewish-adjacent adults, are the culmination of years of facilitation and teaching about these powerful tools for life. The workshops are offered to individuals both as open-facing virtual sessions, and privately in partnership with local and national institutions and organizations.
The NTS Mission
NTS is designed to be flexible and relevant in responding to the spiritual needs and interests of the Jewish community. In a pluralistic, inclusive environment, NTS provides space for the diversity of the community to engage in deep conversation that connects our actions, relationships and everyday reality to the richness and diversity of Jewish thought and tradition. An outgrowth of the pedagogy of the great teachers with whom founder Tracie Bernstein has learned and worked, NTS provides an environment that weaves together the wisdom of our sages, our modern teachers and each other. Nourishing the Soul Workshops offer an environment in which to hone our understanding of ourselves, and how we can utilize our People’s wisdom toward stronger connection with our loved ones and with holiness.
What They're Saying
I searched high and low to find a facilitator that really could understand the uniqueness of our community and lead a soulful AND outcomes-driven process in a single day, and she knocked it out of the park. We're on our way to developing a shared culture of responsibility among our board that would have taken months if not years to do without her expertise... At every stage, Tracie made it clear that she got us. She is the rare combo of a facilitator who is a deep listener, understands the soul of our institutions, and gets the job done.
- Rabbi Lauren Henderson, Congregation Or Hadash
Tracie quickly became an integral part of the team, guiding us through a beautiful, thoughtful, intense and focused retreat. We achieved more in one day than I thought possible. She is a gifted facilitator, and a joy to work with. One of the things I loved about her facilitation was how she made the retreat actionable with a take-home plan, which is rare.
- Jodi Bromberg, 18Doors CEO
Tracie is an exceptional facilitator. The thoughtfulness she brings to any topic paired with her soothing demeanor creates a feeling of awareness and understanding that is all at once subtly powerful and empowering. She is fully present in the space and evokes a desire for you to do the same. Tracie’s skill at creating a safe and welcoming space for candid conversation will fill your team’s session with open and honest dialogue.
- Eliana Leader, Director, Kaplan Mitchell Retreat Center, Ramah Darom
Tracie is an eloquent speaker, and her teaching style is incredibly thought-provoking. She is able to structure her workshops in such a way that participants are actively engaged. She is an expert in Jewish knowledge about a variety of topics, and I have personally learned so much from her. I appreciate her inclusive and welcoming approach, thereby creating a safe, sacred space for every workshop she leads.
