Darkness and Light: Creative Exploration for Chanukah – Los Angeles

In this season of Kislev, come explore both the miracle of Chanukah’s light–and the miracle of darkness. During this session you will learn about and experience the Jewish Studio Process—a unique methodology that builds creative capacity by combining art therapy practices with a reimagined approach to Jewish learning. Together, we’ll nurture our creative spirits and explore the wisdom found in both shadow and light.

Whether you’re exploring your creativity for the first time and seeking a supportive environment or looking to re-invigorate your creative life, The Jewish Studio Process will meet you where you are and invite you deeper. Come as you are—leave more deeply connected to your own inner spark, and more trusting of the wisdom that darkness can hold.

Co-sponsored by our friends at NuRoots. This experience is part of Infinite Light, NuRoots’ citywide Hanukkah festival, December 14–22. Discover more at nuroots.org/infinitelight.
