The SLBC International Conference (Songleader Boot Camp), provides powerful Jewish leadership training for clergy, Jewish educators, religious and day school teachers, family engagement and early childhood specialists, teen leaders, Jewish camping staff, veteran and new songleaders, and volunteer/lay leaders. Led by internationally renowned Jewish thought leaders, educators, and music artists, SLBC is an immersive high-energy training ground for participants to discover skills, strategies, and inspiration that will bring about transformative change in their Jewish communities. Through dozens of dynamic sessions and soul-lifting all-conference programs, SLBC explores what it means to lead with vision, purpose, and heart in Jewish life.
During this conference Rabbi Adina will lead a creative workshop: Making Space for the We: Creative Practice as Spiritual Encounter
In this experiential workshop, participants will engage in the Jewish Studio Process—a unique method developed by Rabbi Adina Allen that weaves together guided reflection, text study, and intuitive art-making. Through this practice, we’ll explore how creativity can open us to encounter ourselves more honestly and, in doing so, expand our capacity for connection with others.
**Rooted in Jewish wisdom and accessible to all—no artistic experience necessary—**this workshop invites us to slow down, listen inward, and notice the threads that link our individual stories to the greater fabric of community. Together, we’ll ask: How do I meet the “we” within me? What becomes possible when I listen deeply—to my own voice and to the voices that surround me?
Come ready to reflect, create, and discover new ways to embody The We in Me through sacred creative expression.
