This group is for people who are Jewish and Anti-Zionist. Creating a space for us to process living in a world shaped by systems of supremacy while envisioning and moving toward more just, life-affirming ways of being. Aligning with the sacredness of all life.
It is my intention to support us all to: - Build deep and purposeful community. - Share together in the conflicts; maybe we find ourselves in between the generations of our families, synagogues, teachers and mentors. - Grieve and explore: the historical and the contemporary, as well as communal and personal traumas in the shadows of genocide. - Fully inhabit the complex positions of victim and victimizer many Jews find ourselves within.
What to expect
A participant from the last session said about our gathering: "I needed to really feel the depth of sadness and pain that I had been crunching up into a ball in my heart and mind. I feel I have expressed something. I feel lighter now. I feel at home with all of you. I feel so grateful to feel with you and dream of our collective liberation."
This is a peer support process group and not clinical supervision or group therapy. We meet for a series of five 90-minute sessions held virtually.
Enrollment will be capped at 12 members. Applications will be read on a rolling basis with a focus on maintaining an intimate, generative environment.
I'm the child of two progressive Zionist Rabbis, raised deeply within Zionism and am doing a great deal of work over the last 5 years to unlearn that ideology that wrapped itself through my heart and my very bones. I'm a queer, polyamorous, cis, femme, white, Ashkenazi Jewess who carried and birthed my two children. My commitment to reproductive justice, queer and feminist family building deeply shapes my orientation to this work as well.
