Yachad: Journeying in a Post 10/7 World (A Free Support Group)

from $0.00

Since October 7, one of the most painful days in recent Jewish history, there has been a collective, challenging array of emotions, from loneliness, rage, fear, isolation, confusion, and sadness. With the complexity and sensitivity of the social discourse about 10/7 and its ongoing ripple effects, many of us within the Jewish psychedelic community feel a desire for safer spaces to express our authentic selves and feel supported by others who can relate to our complex identities and perspectives.

We are honored to serve our community by offering Yachad, an open, supportive, safe, and non-political space for Jewish psychedelic explorers to share the fullness of their hearts and experience in community.

Our first meeting will be Monday, October 7 at 5 PM PT, as we will commemorate one of the most challenging years Jews have known in a generation. We’ll arrive and open with a grounding meditation, move through structured share time, and close with a communal moment of prayer. This event will be 90 minutes long.

This is a donation-based offering, with all donations going to support Shefa to create financially-accessible experiences and resources for the Jewish psychedelic community.

All are welcomed, donations are optional.
