Prayer as Medicine

One of my favorite things to teach is ways to approach Jewish prayer so that it opens a place in your heart that is deeply personal.  The recipe I use is approaching prayer as medicine, unlocking it’s healing remedies through learning, singing, creative writing, sharing, and listening in a small group. We write about how we connect to the prayer and our classmates listen for the words that jump out and touch us. Participants have shared that after this class, prayers they thought they knew were awakened more deeply for them.  And the new prayers landed in their hearts.

Please consider joining me or telling a friend about my upcoming class of Prayer as Medicine, four Thursdays at 5 p.m. PST, starting December 2 and ending Jan. 13 (ever other week).  Limited to 8 participants, cost is $144.  Send me a note if interested. https://rabbichayagusfield.com/contact/

New art endeavors.  I end this post with a few new pieces of art I have made. If you like my art, let me know if you would like some cards made with your favorite piece. I’d be happy to order you some for a small donation to cover costs.  Check out Chaya’s Gallery https://rabbichayagusfield.com/home/chayasgallery/ to see your choices!  They aren’t titled, so take a photo and send it to me.  I’ll make you some cards….

Much love,  Chaya
