We will explore these issues through personal reflection and gentle prompts. No prior knowledge is required just a willingness to reflect.

Fancy a cruise? Sea or river? Completely different. UK or fly? Big ship or small one? With or without children? We will talk kosher too and reveal the cruise line that offers kosher food at no extra charge but refuses a Friday night Jewish service. And pricing is a jungle. We have all been caught out by it.

Not just for niddah! In this session, we will explore how the Open Mikveh Movement has reclaimed and reinvented one of Judaism's most ancient practices, expanding beyond niddah (menstrual 'purity') to embrace this ritual rooted in spiritual transition. Then, we will craft our own rituals for the mikveh (Jewish ritual bath), merging tradition with new possibilities for spiritual expression.
