3:10 PM - 4:30 PMFor parents with children of all ages ...
How do we balance our parenting desire to create a cozy nest for our children, in which they feel safe and that the world is good, and our acute knowledge of the great pain and need in our world? How do we, as a family, choose amongst the myriad needs and possibilities, to get involved in a positive way that works with the temperament and ages of our child(ren)? How do we as adults model engagement with Tikkun Olam in a healthy way? Discussion and concrete ideas for families to consider. Workshop led by Laura Orgel, Child and Family Therapist, parent, and long-time Tikkun Olam worker and wonderer. Minimum number of participants is 4. RSVP below by Jan. 21

The workshop is an opportunity for white-bodied or white-identifying congregants to come together in a supportive and caring environment to reflect, learn and unlearn, heal from the ways we have been impacted by white supremacy, and start to recognize new possibilities for taking action.
