In this challenging time, join us for Community Care: A Jewish Studio Process Session, an immersive gathering where the creative process offers new pathways for grounding and connection. As we process the many emotions surrounding the ongoing wildfires and their still-unfolding impact on our lives and communities, this session offers a space for reflection, healing, and renewal.

You’ll have the opportunity to learn about and experience the Jewish Studio Process—a unique methodology that combines practices from the field of art therapy with a reimagined approach to Jewish learning and spirituality.

Whether you’re exploring your creativity for the first time or looking to re-invigorate your creative life, this session will meet you where you are and invite you deeper.
