In this time of crisis and rupture, how can we resource ourselves through ecological stories while grounding in our own heritage? In this three-part online series we will explore the possibilities of Nature as Teacher, and turn our ears to the Torah waiting for us in our deepest connection to river, mountain, and sea.
We will explore texts from the Noam Elimelech and the Kedushat Levi, Rabbis from the Eastern European Hasidic movement that renewed Judaism in the 18th century. All text will be provided in the original and in translation. Homework between each session will offer nature connection practices to embody the texts.
Session 1: The Divine River (Monday 24th March)
Session 2: The Ancestral Mountain (Monday 31st March)
Session 3: The Love Song of the Sea (Monday 7th April)
All sessions 7:30-9pm GMT
