THE PROGRAM STRUCTURE

The Educator Studio is an intensive professional development cohort experience centered around JSP’s foundational teachings (Torah of Creativity) made practical through a dynamic pedagogy featuring the Jewish Studio Process methodology.

Webinars (twice monthly) will incorporate JSP’s methodology with a focus on wellbeing, creative practice, dynamic exploration of text, and practical applications for your professional context. One monthly webinar will be Process-based and one will be focused on tools & practices.

Havruta sessions (twice monthly) will extend learning between webinars and help you integrate it into your teaching and leadership.

Retreat (Nov 3 & 4, 2025) in person, location TBD, to go more deeply into the work together!

Tuition for the Educator Studio is $1,800. If you are unable to secure this tuition, please email us to discuss the potential for scholarship.
