I Remember You: Yizkor for Father’s Day – A Virtual Art-Making Ritual

June 18, 2023 @ 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM

Free

A virtual art-making ritual
Facilitated by Karen Erlichman

Father’s Day can elicit a mix of emotions, not all of them welcome amidst the customary breakfast-in-bed, cards and flowers, which are gifted to the living. Seeds of healing are deeply held in the spiritual practice of grieving and remembering in community.

We invite you to this creative Yizkor/Remembering without qualifying your relationship with your parent. You are welcome to join this virtual gathering whether you were estranged or entwined, seen or unseen by the parent who is no longer living. Using aspects of JSP’s unique methodology, we will draw on our inherent creativity in service of our memories, love, loss and longing and whatever else surfaces. This hands-on session will include music, exploration of poetry, creating through art or writing and will conclude with Mourner’s Kaddish. We hope you will share this invitation with friends who might be interested in joining us.

This program is offered free of charge and will take place on Zoom with closed captions.

Register here!
