A 9-month Journey into Jewish belonging & connection to land
“What do I mean by home? Not the nation state; not religious worship; not the deepest grief of a people marked by hatred. I mean a commitment to what is and is not mine; to the strangeness of others, to my strangeness to others; to common threads twisted with surprise. Diasporism takes root in the Jewish Socialist Labor Bund’s principle of doikayt—hereness—the right to be, and to fight for justice, wherever we are…”
A 9 month incubation, including 3 immersive in-person gatherings and monthly Zoom calls, inviting a small cohort to dive deep into enquiry around jewish belonging and connection to land on these isles. Inspired by the ‘Land Stories’ workshops we’ve been offering (devised by Linke Fligl), we want to make space to go deeper in exploring, excavating & repairing our ancestral connections with land, our relationships with Palestine/Israel and the places we call home now, to build greater accountability, solidarity and deepening our connection with land.
Note, this will be different from previous retreats & offerings in that it will include some co-woven elements and facilitation from the cohort, designing our curriculum based off the interests and desires of the cohort.
Full details and sign ups coming soon. Costs subject to funding.
