SUMMARY:Women's Circle: Winter Solstice Yoga and Acupuncture
DESCRIPTION:Welcome the winter solstice with an evening of embodied movement and acupuncture. We will be tuning into our winter energy: how it gets sent down to root\, germinate\, and rest. Tori Cronk\, yoga instructor and Chryssa Tsakiris\, acupuncturist will guide you through a gentle yoga flow and into a restorative practice. We’ll be adding harmonious\, stress-relieving ear acupuncture seeds\, with two optional calm-inducing acupuncture points on the head. No prior yoga experience is required. This offering is intended for all levels and all bodies\, including the pregnant body. \nTori lives in Tarrytown and has been teaching yoga and facilitating women’s circles for the past 7 years. Tori combines her background in mental health and yoga and meditation that allows her to facilitate an experience where people feel seen and heard. \nChryssa is the owner and lead acupuncturist at Well Collab in Sleepy Hollow with a dedication to adolescent health\, fertility\, and women’s health. She has a special interest in anti-patriarchy and intersectional feminist health work.

SUMMARY:Challenging Time\, Ageless Insights
DESCRIPTION:Challenging Time\, Ageless Insights\nWe live in highly polarized times. But one of the Jewish people’s greatest strengths is our ability to simultaneously hold conflicting ideas and opinions. What wisdom can we draw from our Jewish tradition in order to help us better engage productive\, rather than destructive\, conversation over the fault lines that divide us? Join Temple Beth Shalom’s Rabbi Daniel Reiser for this insightful discussion. \n“Challenging Times\, Ageless Insights” offers participants the opportunity to engage with clergy in exploring contemporary issues through a Jewish lens. These discussions will provide insights\, debate\, and if we are successful\, even more questions. \n
