Rituals for Communities

How does it work?

Ritual can bind us together with intention through a shared experience. When marking a moment of change, ritual has the power to cultivate new connections or strengthen existing communities. Explore these case studies for a closer look at the process.

FAQs

What is the timeline for our work together?

Since this is a personalized process, during our intake meeting we will confirm a schedule that feels right. Together we'll figure out what schedule works best depending upon your needs with up to a one-year time-frame.

How much does it cost to work with you?

I do not want money to be a barrier to our working together, so please contact me if you want to learn more about how I might help you through this transition and the related fees. Having said that, in general, I work on a sliding scale, which changes depending upon the number of sessions we schedule.

This process sounds intense - is it right for me?

This is not the right process for everyone. I am a good fit for you if:

  • You  are willing and ready to explore what this life transition means to you or your community.

  • Your heart is open to grounding your experience in Jewish learning and tradition (Note: I honor the fact that every person connects to Judaism differently).

  • Your schedule is open enough to fit in time for our meetings and approximately one hour total in the weeks between our meetings for deep reflection and follow up assignments.

What kinds of communities do you work with?

I define a community as an entity other than an individual or a couple.  I work with small groups of friends, executive committees, congregations, Jewish organizations including start-ups, and more!
