Please join Tammi Calwell-Horn and Dalia Abrams for the newest TBE Village: the Rosh Hodesh Circle, based on materials published by At The Well (link to https://www.atthewellproject.com/). At each evening meeting we will explore the themes of the month through meditation, crafting projects, movement/dance, torah study and food. No experience necessary. Meetings will be monthly, on Rosh Hodesh (so days of the week will vary), at our homes. So, please join us for sisterly bonding through the Jewish wisdom of our ancestresses. All who identify as sisters are welcome.
