SUMMARY:Mindfulness in Communication: Using Your Creativity to Meet the Moment with Kathy Simon
DESCRIPTION:Part of The Seven Weeks: Compassionate Attention\, our series of offerings to help the community spiritually prepare for the High Holy Days \n\n\n\n\nSign up here\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nWhen we face a conversation that is not so easy\, we often feel stuck; it can seem like we do not have good choices about what to say or do next. But there are always choices\, more than meet the eye\, and some of them might be fruitful! The trick is slowing down enough — paying compassionate attention to yourself and to the other person — to move beyond habitual responses and to open yourself up to more creativity\, playfulness\, and expansiveness in how you relate. \n\n\n\nIn this workshop\, we’ll take the time to unleash this particular kind of creativity: the creativity to approach stuck conversations in new ways\, ways that feel most aligned with who you want to be. \n\n\n\nWhere: The Commons\, Great Hall\, North Building\, 1st Floor – 840 Echo Park Ave\, Los Angeles\, CA 90026 \n\n\n\nWhen: Sunday\, August\, 17 10:00am-1:00pm \n\n\n\nParking: Garage parking is available with elevator access to the gathering space on Level 1\, where all surfaces are paved or carpeted. Please enter the garage at Laguna Avenue and press 001 to be buzzed in. Street level access is on Echo Park Ave by staircase (2 flights) or elevator. Biking\, carpooling\, walking\, etc. are also encouraged. NOTE: For the safety of our community\, please do not attempt to enter or exit through the back gate on Laguna Ave. \n\n\n\nPrice: $54 – 72 sliding scale. No one turned away for lack of funds. If you need financial assistance to attend this workshop\, please contact Jordana\, jfraider@nefeshla.org. \n\n\n\nPlease reach out to info@nefeshla.org with any accessibility questions and concerns.

SUMMARY:Elul Spiritual Challenge with Rabbi Susan
DESCRIPTION:Sign up for the Elul Spiritual Challenge\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nIn the month of Elul*\, before the year renews on Rosh Hashanah\, we have the opportunity to prepare – individually and in community – for the transition and transformation of a new cycle of the calendar\, the seasons\, and the moon. This intentional preparation deepens the experience and possibilities inside the High Holy Days. \n\n\n\nThe Elul Spiritual Challenge is a week-by-week offering of practices during the month of Elul which begins on Aug 24. This year’s theme is Compassionate Attention. We will explore attention in multiple ways: what we are tending to and what we are avoiding\, our social media presence\, and our attention to transitions throughout our day and year. \n\n\n\nWe will practice this through a series of videos from Rabbi Susan and a live offering from Rabbi Susan and Avriel Epps\, PhD on Zoom. Dr. Epps is data scientist and Postdoctoral Fellow at the Cornell University CATLab\, who will dive into the spiritual concept of Teshuvah for Your Digital Self: Owning Your Data Story in Elul. \n\n\n\nNOTE: When you sign up for the ESC you DO NOT have to sign up separately for the Avriel Epps Zoom event. \n\n\n\nYou are encouraged to support yourself through this Elul offering in chevruta/study partnerships. You can opt to be paired with someone when you sign up OR enter the challenge with a partner of your choosing. \n\n\n\nWhen: Sundays starting August 24th including an online offering with Avriel Sunday\, August 31st \n\n\n\nLocation: We’ll have a password protected page up on the Nefesh website that you’ll have access to starting August 24th and throughout High Holy Days. Information about access will be shared with registrants soon. \n\n\n\nPrice: Sliding scale $36-54. No one will be turned away for lack of funds. \n\n\n\n*This year\, the month of Elul (the final month of the Jewish calendar\, year 5784) is from sundown on August 24th to Erev Rosh Hashanah on September 22nd.
