Join the Jewish Ancestral Healing Shavuot Siyum!
We’re excited to gather with you on this holiday of revelation to immerse in conversations featuring spiritual leaders, artists, activists and visionaries on their journeys of ancestral healing, embracing resilience, and ancestor reverence practices rooted in Jewish traditions and counter-oppressive devotion.
On Shavuot, many stay up all night in a learning ceremony of tikkun leyl / healing night. In the morning, ancestor-honoring prayers of remembrance / yizkor are offered, and it is a time of siyum, of celebrations of completions - usually of reading a sacred book. Here, we extend the custom of siyum to celebrate the completion of our Jewish Ancestral Healing podcast series.
Shavuot Siyum participants will receive access to new audio interviews throughout the days of Shavuot, May 25-27, 2023.
May this offering be a portal of connection. May we may root in positive resource, remember ancient ways, and innovate toward collective liberation. May we be deeply nourished by the well of our loving and wise ancestors.
