A virtual 3 week series
Fridays, June 5 - 19 | 12:00 - 1:30 PM EST
Sliding scale $100 - $300

Facilitated by Karina Bashir and Hadar Cohen

This 3-week interfaith series explores Jewish and Islamic spiritual traditions through reflection, embodied practice, and shared inquiry. Drawing on scripture, poetry, ritual, and somatic awareness, we will explore how slowing down and listening to the body can deepen our relationship with ourselves, one another, and the Divine.

Together, we will reflect on questions such as: What does it mean to live faithfully today? How do spiritual traditions support us during times of transformation, uncertainty, or change? How do fear and inherited narratives shape our relationships—and how can embodied awareness help restore trust, clarity, and connection?

This series is participatory and relational. Participants are invited to bring their own experiences, traditions, and questions into the space. Learning will unfolds through dialogue, shared practice, and reflection.

Over three weeks, we will move from themes of community and separation, into fear and love, then toward embodied devotion and intuitive knowing—exploring how faith is lived not only through belief, but through the body, daily practice, and attentive presence.

Weekly Themes:

Week 1: Community and Separation

• Exploring the inherited narratives that divide communities

Invitation / Offering:

Join us in a sacred space to explore faith, body, and connection across Jewish and Muslim spiritualities. This series invites reflection, embodied practice, and interfaith dialogue, helping participants:

• Reclaim intuition, subtle energy, and intuitive wisdom

• Release inherited fear and separation

• Embody courage, presence, and relational openness

• Deepen connection to themselves, others, and the Divine

This 3-week series invites participants to explore Jewish and Islamic spiritualities through a body-centered and interfaith lens. Through embodied ritual, poetry, scripture, and reflection, we will examine how disconnection from the body and intuition limits spiritual and relational life—and how reconnection restores clarity, creativity, and Divine intimacy. 

Your presence and contribution sustain this interfaith, embodied exploration, making it accessible and transformative for all who seek to live as courageous, connected, and embodied people of faith.
