A monthly gathering for women to mark the full moon. Each month, we will explore multiple ways of living and leading as women through the lens of archetypes offered to us in Jewish (and other) texts. Guided by the work of Dr Rabbi Jill Hammer and the Kohenet Institute, we will examine the enormous variety of female imagery in and beyond the Torah, and collectively reflect on their meanings and resonance in our own lives. 

Please arrive from 7:45pm to make a tea and settle in for an 8pm start. 

Monthly Sunday evenings 8-9.45pm
