Cassandra Sagan
[she/her]

Cassandra has devoted her life to helping others access their creative brilliance. A  twice-ordained Maggid in the lineage of Reb Zalman Schacter-Shalomi, and ultimately the Baal Shem Tov, she is a consummate cultural creative: educator, poet, singer/songwriter, visual artist, InterPlay leader; creator of Moving Midrash, an embodied Torah study practice; and a regular Joy Gevalt.  She has been published in a wide variety of anthologies and journals, and taught in classrooms, synagogues, libraries, and retreat centers for most of her life. Cassandra weaves her tales with humor and magical realism, while making ancestral tikkunim (repairs) through her characters and story lines.
