BUILDING BRIDGES: Holy Listening, Safe Connecting in Difficult Times
Transform the way you listen, connect, and bridge worlds.
A Three-Part Series for the Institute for Deep Ecumenism of Yerusha
With Maryrita Wieners
Three Tuesdays: April 21, 28 and May 5
5:00 - 7:00 pm, ET / 4:00 - 6:00 pm, CT
3:00 - 5:00 pm, MT / 2:00 - 4:00 pm, PT
We each inhabit our own neighborhood of understanding, shaped by personal perspectives and, at times, unconscious biases. This transformative course invites you to step beyond familiar boundaries into the sacred practice of holy listening—learning to cross the bridge into another's world, to see through their eyes and hear through their ears.
NOTE: This is part 1 of a 2-part series. Each part is a complete course on its own. Register now for both parts and receive a 10% discount on Part 2.

T'SHUVAH, GRIEF AND THE INDWELLING OF GOD: How a Jewish Spiritual Practice Changed the Life of a Christian Minister
“There is a deep well inside me. And in it dwells God. Sometimes I am there too. But more often stones and grit block the well, and God is buried beneath and must be dug out again.”
-- Etty Hillesum, 20th century Jewish Mystic.
Join Rev. Anne Ruth Ellis for a deep and gentle conversation about her discovery of the profound gift of repentance and forgiveness through the practice of T’Shuvah.
Wednesday, May 6th
7:00 - 8:30 PM EST / 6:00 - 7:30 PM CST
5:00 - 6:30 PM MST / 4:00 - 5:30 PM PST
During this 90 min session, Anne will share her story of how a Christian minister came to this Jewish practice, create space for personal sharing and lead a spiritual practice from her tradition. This session is ideal for anyone interested in spiritual practices from different traditions, the mysticism of an indwelling God, those struggling with grief, and those willing to engage the vulnerability of their shadow selves.
BUILDING BRIDGES: Safe Connecting with Your Biases and Emotions
Confront what shapes your listening—and transform how you connect

We cannot truly hear another until we recognize the filters through which we listen. This advanced course courageously invites you into the uncomfortable, sacred work of confronting your own biases, emotions, and blind spots—the invisible barriers that keep us imprisoned in our own neighborhoods of understanding.
