Nurturing Enduring Light: a Sacred Embodied Workshop for Hanukkah
Advertisement
After two years of agonizing darkness, we recently witnessed a powerful glimmer of light: the return of the precious living hostages and the reunification with their families. While much remains uncertain in Israel about the way forward, we can - and must - celebrate the openings for joy and hope. Hanukkah is a festival of light - a celebration of our faith in growing light that we can both notice and create through our actions. This year, we will gather for a beautiful evening of sacred movement, mindfulness, and healing sound, surrounded by candlelight and community. In addition, this year we are aiming to share light with another organization doing critical healing work in Israel. For this event, we are raising funds to support the organization in Israel called Ripples of Healing - a center that was born after October 7th to offer therapeutic healing services for those who have endured trauma as a result of the attack and the ensuing war.
Join for a special evening to generate personal embodied light and light that we can share with the world.
Taught by Deb Wineman and Rebecca Minkus Lieberman

Each ticket includes participation in the full yoga, sound, and candlelight experience.
A portion of every ticket will be donated to Ripples of Healing, supporting trauma recovery and therapeutic care for those impacted by the events of October 7 and the ongoing war.
$30 of each ticket is non-deductible and covers the cost of the class.
The remaining amount will be donated directly to Ripples of Healing.
