Dafna Kronental is a registered psychotherapist, university educator, and yoga teacher with a deep interest in the intersection of psychology, contemplative practice, somatic healing, Jewish thought and wisdom traditions. She lectures in counselling and psychotherapy, works in private practice, facilitates inpatient addiction therapy groups at a private hospital in Melbourne, and is a co-therapist on clinical research trials at Monash University's Clinical Psychedelic Lab. Her work with individuals, couples, and groups draws on interpersonal, psychodynamic, somatic, and mindfulness-based approaches. She is inspired by what emerges when we move beyond an individual self and into greater connection—with ourselves, one another, the natural world, our ancestral heritage, and sense of the sacred. Whether explored through therapy, relationship, contemplative practice, altered states, or Jewish learning, she is endlessly curious about the ideas and experiences that help us make meaning, cultivate compassion, and build more interconnected communities. She has loved studying at Beit Midrash Oz and hopes this contribution will go a small way towards giving back to a community that has been so personally enriching.
