Teaching Creativity Through Jewish Wisdom

Picture

I offer workshops, retreats, and speaking engagements that explore Jewish mysticism, sacred text, and the divine feminine through creative and embodied practice. Rooted in years of experience as an artist, educator, and Jewish spiritual leader, my teaching invites participants into meaningful engagement with mystical traditions in ways that are both intellectually rich and personally transformative.
​

Blending textual study, feminist interpretation, ritual exploration, and hands-on art-making, my offerings make ancient wisdom accessible, relevant, and alive. Programs can be tailored for conferences, campuses, congregations, and retreat communities, and adapted to meet the unique needs of each gathering.

Ritual Leadership & Sacred Space Facilitation

​​In addition to workshops, I bring deep experience as a prayer leader and ritual facilitator. I am available to design and guide sacred gatherings, immersive prayer experiences, and community ritual spaces for retreats, conferences, and special events.

The Creative Rest Studio

The Creative Rest Studio is a pop-up creative rest lounge designed for retreats, conferences, and gatherings. It offers a calm, restorative space where participants can step away from intensity and reconnect with creativity at their own pace.
This is not a scheduled class, but a thoughtfully curated drop-in experience. Participants can choose from guided projects with clear instruction or explore open-ended materials for intuitive creation. Offerings can be themed to align with your event and adapted for different group sizes, budgets, and levels of immersion.
Rooted in mindfulness and Jewish wisdom — with Shabbat-friendly options available — the studio creates an atmosphere of reflection, beauty, and meaningful engagement.
Sample projects include:
Mindfulness drawing · Creative writing prompts · Textile arts · Oil pastel “stained glass” · Gentle creative movement · Custom themed offerings
