Chaya's classes focus on rich Jewish teachings made experiential and personally applicable through the use of methods such as psychological exercises, expressive arts, meditation and bibliodrama. Participants gain tools to apply their Torah learning directly to life, experiencing how Torah can explicitly impact the tenor of their actions and interpersonal relationships.
The classes are designed to offer a supportive environment where students have a safe group space within which to process their Torah learning and personal growth. (Please note that all of these can be done in varying lengths of time, from hour-long classes to day-long seminars.)
