In the workshop, we will investigate depicted iconographic and practiced gestures from various spiritual and religious traditions. Employing this, we will focus on the role of movement within Jewish tradition as a mode of communication and self-expression – complimentary to the spoken and written word. The workshop will include a movement session and a discussion about the relevance of somatic traditions and their impact on our communal and individual lives. Through this encounter, participants can experience learning about other symbolic traditions and delve deeper into their own, thus seeing the relevance and similarities to their personal lives and surroundings. Come in comfortable clothing- the workshop includes light movement.
