    We expect more interest in this immersive than there are spots available. Unfortunately, we will not be able to accommodate everyone who expresses interest in participating.

  • At the signature JSP Studio Immersive, you will experience full-day, facilitated creative process sessions using the Jewish Studio Process, led by Director of Learning Rabbi Adam Lavitt and JSP Staff. Each day will be thoughtfully curated to support your learning, connection, and growth.

    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.
