Join an 8 week online group for adults to support creating or reimagining personal stories, songs, or other meaningful pieces. Share your work in a supportive online open mic and engage in audience discussion*, highlighting healing strands, meaning, and connection. This experiential process emphasizes storytelling as a way to empower both you and your audience, with no prior theatre or writing experience required.
This group is for you if you are ready to explore, reflect on, and share your experiences of being Jewish through a transformational and experiential creative process. You may create an original story or reimagine an existing story, song, poem, or other meaningful piece. This group is for you if you are ready to share your work in a way that emphasizes healing strands, meaning, possibility, or hope for change in an aesthetic manner that resonates with and empowers your audience.
Please note: This group focuses on personal storytelling and creative expression. It is not designed for processing serious trauma, sharing negative stories about others, or formal performance coaching. Stories that honor ancestors, cultural heritage, or meaningful experiences are welcome.
