Creative process facilitation

Guided sessions that nurture creativity and make meaning together

As a Jewish Studio Project Facilitator, Lillie is a practitioner of the Jewish Studio Process. In the lineage of art therapy and Jewish spiritual practice, this process nurtures our inherent creativity as a place of practice and intention for individuals and organizations. This method is accessible to folks regardless of spiritual background and relationship with creative practice.

Our approach

The Jewish Studio Process is a ritually held experience that moves through the following steps:

  • An icon of lines vertically stacking like books.

    Inquiry

    Guided small group learning drawing from the Jewish practice of beit midrash (house of inquiry).

  • An icon of a single line curving like a winding road with small segments of color dividing it.

    Intention

    Intention setting for the art-making process, naming what you want to welcome in or setting a boundary around for your creative making.  Write your intention in the present tense, as if it is already happening.

  • An icon of different sized circles overlapping

    Exploration

    Exploration of your creativity through any medium, such as painting, music, dance, daydreaming, etc. Follow pleasure and what feels live for you.

  • An icon of various sized stones balancing on top of one another

    Reflection

    A written stream-of-consciousness response to both what you’ve created and your experience of creating called witness-writing.

Lillie was trained by Rabbi Adina Allen, Pat B. Allen, and Rhonda Johnson during a two-year intensive fellowship immersing herself, alongside a wise intergenerational cohort, in the Jewish Studio Process method and practice.
