WORKSHOPS INTRODUCED MONTHLY!

October 30th - Grace as Counterculture
What is grace? How can it meaningfully impact our ability to both be more centered/peaceful, and move through the world using that approach.
November 6th - Grace: A
Radical Reframing
What might it mean if we respinded to our world through the lens of grace? What would we hold onto, and cultivate, and what would we let go? How would it change whom and how we engage others?
November 13th - Grace and Mussar
The concept of Grace and how it dovetails with the spiritual traditions of Mussar. What mussar middot (holy attributes) direct us in deepening our muscle in effectively cultivating grace?
We will explore our own language, how it shapes and is shaped by our thinking.
