Led by Rabbi Tirzah Firestone

Please join Rabbi and Jungian therapist Tirzah Firestone in an exclusive Ner Shalom event Zoomed from Boulder, Colorado. Reb Tirzah will explore with us the impact of collective ancestral trauma, so pervasive in our Jewish history, as well as that of other people.  Her most recent book, Wounds into Wisdom, is based on research on the transformation of collective trauma, drawing on the fields of neuroscience, psychology and Jewish literature. Reb Tirzah will share key wisdom about how trauma residue passes l'dor v'dor, from generation to generation, and how we can begin to heal from its damage to our psyches.

A four-session experiential workshop based on Rabbi Tirzah's book Wounds into Wisdom will be offered in person at Ner Shalom starting on April 14.  Created by Sally Churgel, Raphael Block and Stephanie Brown, the workshop will focus on creative activity (art and movement) combined with discussion, introspection and practicing grounding skills to help us heal the wounds of our individual and collective trauma.
