Please join us for a transformative Rosh Chodesh (online) gathering to workshop the themes of collective brokenness, loss, and the possibility of transformation, centered on the upcoming holiday of Tisha B’Av. This holiday, the ninth day of the month of Av, commemorates the destruction of the First Temple by Babylon in 586 BCE and the Second Temple by Rome in 70 CE, the beginning of exile for the Jewish people, and other calamities – mythical, mystical, and historical.  Rosh Chodesh this month, is a perfect time to gather with our community of women to pause, make space for healing, experience the power of connection, and explore how ancient rituals can fit in our modern lives.

Led by Alison Laichter: Alison is a consultant, facilitator, meditation teacher, urban planner, and the founding director of the Jewish Meditation Center in New York City. Alison is an international leader of Jewish spiritual practice and designs and leads big and small gatherings all over the world. She loves working with individuals, communities, and organizations to create inclusive, accessible, and radically amazing experiences. Read more about her at alisonlaichter.com.
