Kindling Creativity: A Chanukah Workshop for Early Childhood Educators

Chanukah literally brings light into darkness, accessing our creativity can bring light into these dark times. We connected to our inherent creativity and explored the power and purpose of art-making as a pathway for personal renewal in this moment of challenge and change.

Together we engaged in meaningful conversation of Jewish texts on Chanukah and took pen to paper through hands-on creative exercises as we tended our inner flame and cultivated resilience.

 

Date: Monday, November 16th 

Time: 1:15 PM - 2:45 PM ET

Who: For Early Childhood Educators nationally with the Paradigm Project part of the Leadership in the Wilderness Series
