Practical Teshuvah

During the month of Elul leading up to Rosh Hashanah and the 10 Days of Awe connecting the Jewish new year with Yom Kippur, we have a special call to take the time to reflect. The primary work of the season is teshuvah, turning and returning to the best we can be. But how do we really do teshuvah? These three sessions will give participants knowledge, practice and tools for teshuvah that connects us more deeply with the people we care about.

Session 1: The Tool Set: Jewish Texts and Nonviolent Communication foundations.

Session 2: Practicing Teshuvah: Participants will work with an NVC process, developing practical skills for apologies that reconnect.

Session 3: “What about when I’m the one who needs an apology?” This session will touch on questions including, How do I ask for an apology? How do I loosen a grudge without an apology – or when I’m not ready forgive?
