Birds of a Feather: Winter Cohort

**We build community for women, fostering authentic connections, creativity,
and belonging through nature-based Jewish practices.**

**Who?** We welcome women and female-identifying individuals in early to mid-
adulthood from all backgrounds—Jewish, Jew-ish, and non-Jewish. Circles are
intentionally kept small and intimate, with no more than 12 participants to
foster deeper connections.

**What?** Our activities are loosely scheduled, allowing us to co-create this
space together. Each circle opens with an introduction and connection with one
another, we move onto our creative activity and close with a personal
reflection. Snacks are provided.

* **Sunday, 1/19 4:30 pm**
_Mindful Mandalas:_ In Jewish tradition, the** **_“evil eye,”_** ** or _ayin
hara_ (עין הרע), is the belief that too much attention, envy, or praise can
unintentionally bring harm or misfortune through jealousy or negative energy.
Together, we’ll create our own evil eye mandala using meditative dot painting.
