Part exploration, part enquiry, part meditation - we will examine together the essence of oneness at the nondual heart of mystical Judaism. How can everyone and everything be inseparable from God? And what "in G-d's name" does that mean anyway? How can resting exactly as "I am" bring greater peace, stability and clarity into my relationship with life?

The Bund ('league', in Yiddish) was the first Jewish Socialist party of the Russian empire. It was founded in 1897 in Vilnius and (some say) it died in the Vilnius ghetto in 1943. Others say the idea survives and guides us today. I've tried to tell this story with 3 musicians in "Messiah and Revolution", a concert/show/lecture which is touring Italy.

“And He wrote them upon two tablets of stone”. Writing was only invented a few thousand years ago in the ancient Near East. Judaism soon became a distinctly bookish tradition.

In order to create a new universe - i.e., a novel - a writer needs a sense of recklessness, imagination and wildness. But in order to tame this universe, and to make enough sense out of its rhythms to tell a compelling story, a writer needs discipline, grit and carefulness. Come to this workshop for tools and inspiration as you write your own novel.
