The Omer offers a holy and sweet structure for creative practice, reflection, and spiritual nourishment. Join Molly Bajgot and Aly Halpert during the seven week period between Passover and Shavuot, for a weekly practice of singing, exploring the sephira* of the week, and connecting these themes to our own lives. We'll get in touch with the creative spark of the Divine in ourselves by making time for creation – journaling, writing songs, doodling, making art, dancing, etc. – with the support of online community. Come to all seven sessions as part of an Omer practice, or join when you can!
