Shabbat Special Event - Jewish Studio Process  -  facilitated by Sharoni Sibony 

Shabbat Special Event: Jewish Studio Process with Sharoni Sibony

Sharoni will be leading a series of Friday Night Shabbat Special Events, each with a different theme. Register for our May 23 event below and mark your calendar for June 13 - registration for the June 13 event will be posted at the conclusion of the previous event.

Ease into Shabbat with contemplative creativity. Yes, yes, the idea of Shabbat is to remember how God rested from the creative process -- but when we settle back and let ourselves play with new materials, we receive the gifts of rest, relaxation, and deeper insight and connection. Each month, we'll follow the steps of the Jewish Studio Process, a unique methodology combining practices from the field of art therapy with a re-imagined approach to Torah learning, to cultivate our inherent creativity as a spiritual practice.

  • May 23: Blooming into Torah: Preparing for Shavuot - A lost midrash, an ungrazed mountainside, flowers bursting into being: how can this story prepare us for the gifts of Shavuot?
  • June 13: Community Caretakers: Honouring the Levites' Legacy - Inspired by the week's parsha, we'll look at the Levites' role in the Temple and how it might resonate in our world today.
