with Chaya Rivka Zwolinski of BRI Women
Hosted by Jewish Living – Makom/Jewish Spirituality at the JCC Manhattan
Jun 12, 2019-Jul 10, 2019 (Four Wednesdays from 7:30pm – 9:00pm–except July 3)
(If you can’t make every class, that’s okay, you can catch up with me personally via email.)
Returning for an extended workshop with all-new material: Are you a curious blogger or journal writer, a beginner or published author, or just interested in getting to know more about yourself? Have you ever wanted to write from a deeper place inside you? Nourished by the hidden wellsprings of ancient Jewish wisdom, Rebbe Nachman’s stories are enchanting, dramatic, at times even amusing. But most of all they are elixirs that reveal and heal the soul. In this four-part workshop, we’ll take key concepts from these stories for writing prompts, and then write in your choice of several genres, such as narrative essay or memoir, poetry, lists, expository essay or free-form journaling, and more. Share and discuss. Be inspired and discover new aspects of self.
Chaya Rivka Zwolinski, Director, BRI Women teaches the wisdom of the renowned Chassidic master Rebbe Nachman live as well as online at Breslov.org and blogs for PsychCentral.com; is co-author of Therapy Revolution (HCI), and The Parent-Child Dance (Feldheim) and other books; and travels with women to Hasidic Ukraine.

REGISTER NOW for Sunday, April 15th JMAC Brunch
You’re Invited to Learn More about Holy, Healthy Self Esteem for Jewish Women
You’re invited: Join Amanda Jones and JMAC (Jewish Mothers & Children) for a Special Brunch and Powerful Talk Based on the Teachings of Rebbe Nachman of Breslov, with Chaya Rivka Zwolinski of BRI Women & The Breslov Research Institute
Despite growing up in a society where encouragement, praise, and rewards were given freely both in schools and many homes, women have never believed in themselves less.
What is going on and can we change course to develop a personal, positive view of self?
Chaya Rivka Zwolinski says yes. She’s written and taught extensively on the topics of self-esteem and self-knowledge for women. Her work is based on Azamra! and many other teachings of Rebbe Nachman of Breslov, the 18th century Jewish leader who predicted that low self-esteem and lack of belief in self would be a problem that could only be addressed fully from a psychospritual perspective.
Using inspirational insights and practical techniques, learn what positive self-actualization can bring to your life. Don’t miss out on discovering your inner strength and beauty–register today.
DATE AND TIME: Sun, April 15, 2018, 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM EDT
LOCATION: Home of Amanda Jones, Founder of JMAC, 7 Sunshine Lane, Livingston, NJ 07039
