Why a Network?

Our Vision

We aim to strengthen the field of Embodied Jewish Wisdom. As a collective, our guides, leaders and students are furthering a model for Jewish life where embodied spiritual practice is the norm, not the exception. More than anything, our mission is to further wholeness, individually and collectively. We are here to elevate embodiment as an essential part of who we are – Jewishly & beyond. 

Why a Network?

Many of our members have practiced & pioneered embodied spiritual practice in their Jewish communities in isolation and for years - unaware of a wider community of support. At the Network, we come together to create a thriving and resourced global community of embodied Jewish leaders. Our online gatherings connect and strengthen us, elevating our studies and personal practice. Between meetings, we share resources & events, engage in real-time conversations and build community. Together we deepen our shared knowledge, generate inspiration and strengthen the wider field of Embodied Jewish Wisdom. 

Who are we?

The EJW Network is hosted and created by Embodied Jewish Learning, with guidance from our EJW Leadership team. EJL (founded by Julie Emden) offers teacher trainings and online learning to provide educators and teachers with best practices for integrating Jewish wisdom into their classes and we offer podcasts, classes, workshops and retreats to provide spiritual seekers, yogis, and dancers a unique way to access Jewish wisdom that is meaningful and relevant to their everyday lives.

When We Meet

Join us for monthly Community Gatherings & Quarterly Advanced Learning Series!

Community Gatherings:
once per month

In these gatherings, we come together for embodied practice and to experience one another’s leadership. We share teaching gems for the current season, capture any new themes or methods that as leaders and guides we have found to be especially inspiring or useful for our students. Each session is led by a few members of the collective and includes time for gathering in smaller groups to deepen our connection over time. Recordings are posted within one week.

Advanced Learning Series

In these Advanced Learning series, we will spend time in movement and study with experienced teachers of embodiment in Jewish contexts from around the world. Movement modalities include Alexander Technique, Authentic Movement, Body-Mind Centering, Dance, Qi Gong, Somatic Experiencing, Yoga, and more! Each session is led by one or two instructors. Time is allotted for reflection and questions about class structure and methodology.
