Welcome to Listening from the Heart: A Sharing Circle, a three-hour workshop for Jewish people to explore both personal and collective feelings in relation to the Israel-Palestine conflict. The intention with this circle is to provide a supportive space in community to express the emotions we may be carrying in our bodies such as anger, grief, fear, and hopelessness.

We will gather online in a small group and co-create a supportive space together. Through somatic and mindfulness practices and writing prompts, we will welcome our emotions, along with the truth of what our hearts are holding. We will also call upon our wise and well ancestors for their guidance, wisdom and loving support.

Rather than debate politics, this circle is a time for deep listening and bearing witness to our authentic selves, and an invitation to respect, honour and hold each other’s experiences with compassion.

No writing experience is needed to join. Sharing your writing is always a choice and is not required to participate in this workshop.
