Dancing towards the Winter Solstice.

This annual journey takes us through the 9th month of Kislev (כסלו) towards Chanukah and the Winter Solstice as the days shorten. Our dance-visioning will take place during the annual descent into the welcoming dark as we delve into the season, its texts and our place on the Jewish wheel of the year. It is also a way to move, sweat and challenge ourselves physically. Each evening practice session will include a warm-up and prompt-based movement improvisation as sunset descends, followed by a time for journaling and rest.

This workshop is for all genders, 18+. All levels of ability are welcome.

Tuesday evenings, 4pm - 5:30pm @ Portland’s Eastside Jewish Commons
November 14, 21, 28 and December 5. (Before Queer Torah Study!)
