Infuse new creative energy into your leadership!
Join our Jewish Studio Process Immersion for Jewish Professionals in Long Beach. Apply by December 13!
With generous support from Jewish Long Beach, JSP is inviting local Jewish educators, rabbis, and community leaders to join the Jewish Studio Process Immersion for Jewish Professionals in Long Beach. Through this unique program, you’ll learn how to integrate the Jewish Studio Process — a transformative blend of text study, art-making, and spiritual reflection — into your work, revitalizing both your personal practice and professional life.
“Before beginning the fellowship, I had a very narrow idea of what it meant to be an “artist”. Having adjusted my perspective in this regard I love the idea of helping people understand that we can think of creativity as much broader than just making art. Thinking creatively is simply part of being human and so many decisions we make on a daily basis could be thought of as an opportunity to be creative.”
