Cultivate your creativity through the lens of ancient Jewish wisdom at this inspiring workshop. On the occasion of the release of her first book, The Place of All Possibility, Rabbi Adina Allen will lead a mind-opening and hands-on session of creativity and spiritual exploration alongside her mother, renowned art therapist Pat Allen PhD, ATR (Art Is A Way of Knowing).
Rabbi Allen and Pat Allen will guide participants through engaging art exercises drawn from the teachings of The Place of All Possibility, a paradigm-shifting work that reinterprets the Torah as a contemporary guidebook for creativity. By drawing from Jewish sacred texts and the interpretive strategies of ancient rabbis, the workshop and book provide tools and teachings for employing creativity as a force for transformation. Through these tools, Rabbi Allen invites people from all traditions—or none—to rediscover their place in a world of imagination, abundance, and joy. Experience the workshop in The CJM's Yud Gallery, now transformed into a rainbow-filled space of wonder by the installation Leah Rosenberg: When One Sees a Rainbow. The Place of All Possibility will also be available for purchase—don't miss the chance to get your copy signed by the author!
For a longer conversation with Adina Allen, don't miss Adina Allen at the Jewish Community Center of San Francisco (JCCSF) on Wednesday, September 4.
