Photography! Sacred Seeing Photo Shoot

In this session, we will train our eyes to see beauty where ever we look and capture it with a camera. There will be a photo shoot involved so bring your phone or camera. Then on Shabbat a great magic will happen… We will get to see the great beauty without a camera!

Playing with Praying

In this session we will learn, sing, play and pray, and draw from some of the texts that make up our Shacharit prayers. We will see how these exquisite texts can shape our day, instill radical amazement one moment at a time, and inspire our community to new heights and perspectives. The session will provide new ways to make prayer all the more meaningful and yes, anticipated. We will celebrate a dawn of a new day.

Reviving the OG Shabbat Walk

How can moving through space help us get ready to experience Shabbat, the palace in time? We’ll explore how being in motion – walking, especially – can help us ground our thoughts and shift our mindset from the six days of doing to the seventh day of being. Participation with a portable device is recommended.

Framing Wonder: An Artistic and Prayerful Way to Start a Day

Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel once taught that the Ba’al Shem Tov used to say that “The world is full of wonders, special radiance, and marvelous secrets, but all it takes is a small handheld over the eye to hide it all.” In this session, we will unclose our eyes and actively practice looking for wonder. Join us as we set an intention to look at the world and everything around us as though they were works of art.

We’ll get to know each other, swap coffee stories, and explore some of the historical roots of coffee traditions from around the world. Don’t forget to BYOC – bring your own coffee!
