"Body Positivity" has become a trendy topic. But where does body negativity actually come from? How do we individually and collectively build towards liberation? This workshop creates a shame-free space to examine societal messages, our relationships with our bodies, and alternatives to positivity.

The repetitive and catchy nature of chants can provide nourishing reminders to our hearts and minds. In this workshop we’ll ground in the Jewish concept of b’tselem elohim – all of us made in the divine image – and how cultivating love for our bodies and ourselves is a sacred act. From there we'll draw out words and a melody for participants to write their own short, chant-style song. We’ll close with space to (optionally) share and sing. Open to all levels of creative and Jewish experience. Co-led with Eli Conley.

Part of body liberation work is about creating new stories to replace the old. This workshop interweaves body love teaching with writing tips and community building. Participants leave with a first draft of a song or poem. Co-led with singer/ songwriter/ teaching artist

Eli Conley. For poets and songwriters of all levels.

An opportunity to set intentions for any kind of new beginning. Resolutions often revolve around weight-loss and body dissatisfaction. This workshop sets up possibilities for a different way to enter a new period.

This workshop offers the opportunity to learn what matters most to you. When we uncover our deepest values, we gain access to the best version of ourselves and our lives. The workshop culminates in the creation of art or ritual to help regularly return to values.

This workshop is not specific to body liberation work.
