Join us for a four-week journey through the month of Adar! When the month of Adar enters, joy increases. How does laughter open up another spiritual channel in us? And what comes of that opening? How might we cultivate silliness as one of our studio habits of mind? When we laugh, what has this laughter come to teach us, or to make us aware of? For four weeks in March, explore the fun and funny side of Jewish Studio Process with a new series designed to make us laugh through playful inquiries into spiritual texts and silly materials and processes.
During these weekly 90-minute, virtual sessions we will engage in the Jewish Studio Process, a unique methodology combining practices from the field of art therapy with a reimagined approach to Jewish learning, to cultivate our inherent creativity as a spiritual practice. These sesions with be led by Sharoni Sibony.

She has been a lecturer, tour guide, pottery instructor, and book club facilitator in various venues across the Toronto community (and beyond) and has worked and volunteered in Jewish adult educational programming and event management through organizations that include Kolel at the Prosserman JCC, the Miles Nadal JCC, Ashkenaz Festival, Holy Blossom Temple, and Limmud Toronto.
