PAUSE + Ponder with Yael Shy | February

February 12, 2021 Free

Roll back your shoulders. Unclench your jaw. Relax your brow. Take a deep breath.

In collaboration with Yael Shy, OneTable presents: PAUSE + Ponder, a monthly series that invites participants to welcome Shabbat creatively, with mindfulness practices and art as the vehicles for spiritual expression. We will paint, collage, scribble, sketch, and even sculpt using stuff you already have around the house OR that you buy for the occasion — perfect for artists and non-artists alike! 

PAUSE + Ponder will challenge guests to let their creativity flow in a virtual space. Using a variety of mediums, each session will delve into a monthly theme. Join Yael Shy and OneTable for an artistic expression and exploration of Shabbat and the community that can flourish when we PAUSE.

About our gathering for February

Remember the joy of making hand-made valentines as a kid? The lacy doilies, shiny stickers, the expressions of love, friendship and affection? What if we could recapture some of that love for ourselves and other loved ones? What if we could create hand-made reminders of our worth and our beauty to remind us – when the inner critic comes knocking – that we are enough?

We can! Join us this month as we meditate on the theme of Radical Self-Love and then create Radical Valentines! Radical Valentines are just like the old-school kind, only they are aimed at ourselves, with words of love that we really need to hear. Grab construction and colored paper, scissors, markers/crayons, valentine stickers, glue, and anything crafty as we concoct these creations. Don’t have any of these supplies? You can also create some minimalist Radical Valentines with just a pen and a paper.
