A space to decompress, rest, and feel nourished through creativity in honor of International Workers Day. This session aims to center the experience Jewish and Jewish-adjacent essential workers, gig workers, artists, and activists. During these weekly 90-minute, virtual sessions we’ll use 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. Held in person for Philly-area residents, with a separate, online session offered in order to accommodate different access needs & schedules.

No previous art-making experience necessary. This program is provided free of charge through the support of Jewish Studio Project.

About the facilitator: JSP Creative Facilitator Holly Smith spent the last 15+ years working in retail and food service before recently deciding to begin rabbinical school at the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College in Philadelphia, PA. Based on her own experience as a working class Jew who often felt excluded from Jewish institutional spaces due to financial as well as time and energy barriers, Holly hopes to provide a no-cost space for restoration and solidarity for others.
