SUMMARY:Spiritual Partnership
DESCRIPTION:“Spiritual Partnership” is a complimentary introduction to an enriching series dedicated to deepening one’s spiritual life. This workshop is designed to focus on the art of spiritual storytelling\, or “maggidut\,” a practice deeply rooted in tradition and wisdom. In fact\, maggidut is a gateway to a world where storytelling transcends mere art\, becoming a profound spiritual practice that offers new perspectives on personal and spiritual growth. \nRegister here. \nThe structure of the ongoing program is thoughtfully modeled on the traditional Jewish concept of “chevruta\,” which emphasizes studying in pairs under the guidance of a teacher. This approach ensures an interactive and deep learning experience\, enabling participants to engage with spiritual texts from the Jewish tradition\, as well as a rich tapestry of folktales and spiritual stories from various cultures worldwide. \nThrough this immersive study\, students will not only gain a deeper understanding of these texts and tales but also forge meaningful connections with their spiritual partners. The program is a journey of discovery\, where each story reflects personal insights and universal truths\, and each partnership becomes a conduit for shared spiritual exploration and growth. \nLed by Maggid Jim Brule’\, who received his ordination (“s’micha”) as a maggid from Maggid Yitzhak Buxbaum z”tl\, the workshop offers a rare opportunity to work with an accomplished maggid and educator. Participants will explore the power of stories in connecting\, teaching\, and inspiring others – and ourselves. \nThis workshop provides a perfect platform to learn more about the program\, meet potential fellow candidates\, and ask questions about the goals and methods of the program. Importantly\, there is no obligation for continuing commitment; the full program is set to commence later in the spring.

SUMMARY:Diving Deeply: The Wonderful Birch
DESCRIPTION:In this series\, we will examine the Russian/Finnish story\, “The Wonderful Birch.” This is a story with challenging variations on the Cinderella classic\, including shapeshifting\, murder\, and wise women. \nThe cost is $45\, and you can register here. \nThe Diving Deeply series invites participants to explore stories with rich metaphor and mystery\, seeking meanings below the surface that often affect the listener – and the storyteller – without their awareness.

Likewise\, those who can afford more to help subsidize those who can’t are encouraged to do so. \nThis is truly a unique experience to dive deeply into these mystical depths.

SUMMARY:The Rose and the Musician
DESCRIPTION:The Rose and the Musician\nDiving Deeply into Stories\nNarratives possess multiple layers of meaning hidden beneath their facade. These interpretations evolve with every narration and every audience. As interpretations change\, so do the tales. \nJoin us for this two-hour online workshop with Maja Bumberák and Jim Brulé. We will begin with a story presented by Maja: a mystical account sourced from a Roma narrator in the latter half of the 19th century. Following the telling\, we’ll journey through the tale’s universe\, discussing its impact and the ways it touched\, inspired\, or stirred us. We and the story will ask questions of each other and see what answers might arrive. \nThe “Diving Deeply” series encourages attendees to immerse themselves in tales rich in metaphor and mystery. They’ll probe beneath the obvious\, uncovering the subtle messages that might escape a casual listener. Attendees will deeply engage with the narratives\, finding resonance in their imagery. \n— \nMaja Bumberák is a renowned storyteller\, singer\, and educator based in Budapest\, Hungary.

Maggid Jim Brulé will guide us on this spiritual and practical journey as we develop an understanding of how stories—when told with an open heart—can heal wounds\, inspire the spirit\, and transform lives. Drawing from his two-year curriculum for maggidut\, this class will integrate oral storytelling\, healing\, Jewish folklore\, and meditation in a highly interactive group process. \nTelling stories in this way requires openness and intentionality in all four worlds. We will explore the neuroscience of telling and receiving these stories\, and the associated physical storytelling techniques; we will appreciate and experience the emotional impact of encountering these stories; our minds will be challenged to consider alternate meanings of the same story; and our spirits will be lifted as we invite the Divine to live in these encounters. \nPart of Aleph’s Kallah program.
