Workshop #3: Creation Blocked

As women we are caregivers, creators, and mothers, whether biological or otherwise. However sometimes we find that our creativity is blocked. There are moments in which we struggle to find the words we are looking for, the visions we need, and the new creations we are hoping for. In this workshop we will explore texts that present breakthroughs to those barriers and explore a path forward in difficult times.

(The following workshop is the third of a five-part series available in both the Upper and Lower Valleys. The final session will be a joint workshop bringing together Upper and Lower Valley participants.)

Workshop #1

Creating Ideas: Exploring Innovations

 As women we are both creators and facilitators, nurturing our own creations while also supporting the endeavors of others. Participants will reflect upon their personal innovations, and confront the challenge posed by creations that evolve to take on a life all their own. This challenge is emphasized in a Talmudic tale of Moses traveling through time to study in the classroom of Rabbi Akiva.
