SUMMARY:Iron Sharpening Iron: The Art of Jewish Disagreement with the Den Collective
DESCRIPTION:Jewish tradition holds a long and rich history of sacred disagreement: of questioning\, debating\, challenging\, and refining ideas in the pursuit of deeper understanding. In this gathering\, we’ll explore what Judaism teaches about productive disagreement: the balance between conviction and humility\, the importance of openness and restraint\, and the moments when debate can lose its moral center. \nTogether\, we’ll engage with Jewish wisdom and meaningful conversation around how we navigate differences in our relationships\, communities\, and daily lives. How do we disagree without losing one another? What does it mean to sharpen each other thoughtfully and compassionately\, rather than tear each other down? \nWhether you love spirited discussion or are simply curious about Jewish approaches to dialogue\, disagreement\, and growth\, this gathering offers space for reflection\, learning\, and authentic conversation in community. \nNo experience necessary. Everyone is welcome. This gathering will take place in Silver Spring\, Maryland. Specific location and additional details will be shared with registrants after the registration deadline. \nSign Up by June 24 \n \nAccommodations: None \n \nOrganization: The Den Collective \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not

SUMMARY:Meditation Retreat: Shabbat in Shenandoah with Lech Lecha Journeys
DESCRIPTION:We will be camping together in beautiful Shenandoah\, creating space to step away from the pace and noise of daily life. Through meditation\, silence\, time in nature\, and shared inquiry\, the retreat is designed to support a shift from thinking about G-d and Judaism to experiencing the truths it points to – in our direct experience. \nThe structure of the weekend is intentionally simple. We will move between guided sessions\, unstructured time in nature\, group gatherings\, and Shabbat-related experiences\, allowing for both personal reflection and shared exploration. \nThis is not a highly scheduled or intensive retreat. Rather\, it is an opportunity to slow down\, become more present\, and explore what is available when we are no longer caught in constant movement or mental activity. \nNo prior meditation experience is required. We are shomer-shabbat friendly and provide kosher food\, but welcome people of all religious levels.  \nThis retreat is led by experienced meditation facilitator\, Noam Levenson. \n \nAccommodations: None \n \nOrganization: Lech-Lecha Journeys \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not

SUMMARY:Art Under a Full Moon: Celebrating Tu B’Av with the Den Collective
DESCRIPTION:Tu B’Av\, the 15th day of the Hebrew month of Av\, is often known as the Jewish day of love. Ancient Jewish tradition describes people gathering in borrowed white garments and dancing in the vineyards\, celebrating connection\, possibility\, and joy. \nJoin us for an evening of learning\, creativity\, and reflection as we explore the history\, traditions\, and deeper meanings of Tu B’Av through Jewish text study and conversation. Together\, we’ll consider themes of love\, connection\, hope\, and renewal\, as well as the tradition of increasing Torah study during this season as the nights begin to lengthen. \nFollowing our learning\, we’ll engage in an art-making experience using the Jewish Studio Process\, a creative practice that emphasizes curiosity\, reflection\, and the process of creating rather than the finished product itself. Whether you’re an experienced artist or haven’t picked up a paintbrush in years\, this is an opportunity to explore\, create\, and connect in a supportive community setting. \nCome learn\, create\, and bask in the beautiful light of this special full moon. \nNo experience necessary. Everyone is welcome. This gathering will take place in Northwest DC. Specific location and additional details will be shared with registrants after the registration deadline. \n \nAccommodations: None \n \nOrganization: The Den Collective \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not
