    The experience includes:

    • Nourishing meals and snacks throughout the day 

    • Community building experiences designed for genuine connection

    • Morning groundings with music, reflection, meditation

    • Havruta (paired-learning) based Jewish text study, led with warmth and inclusivity

    • Dynamic programming designed for deep learning  

    • An opportunity to carve out time in your everyday life to feel refreshed, inspired, and optimistic

    The Studio Immersive is designed for people who are both new to and those familiar with the Jewish Studio Process. However, we highly recommend attending a virtual program before attending the Immersive.
