Spirals of Truth, Circles of Knowing
Private Class: Winter 2019
Jewish life is a cycle of circles. Circles are embedded in Jewish tradition from the dancing to the weekly Torah reading. The constant return is required for our personal and communal development. In this class we will combine the practice of talking circles as a tool to explore the intersection between Torah and the Self.
Using this sacred practice, learned from Native Peoples, we will explore Judaism’s primary source text, Torah. Through the power of the group we will develop our personal Oral Tradition as mandated by our sages and welcomed into our modern lives.
