Creative Process Facilitation
Guided sessions that nurture creativity and making meaning together
Our Approach
As a Jewish Studio Project Facilitator, Lillie guides groups through the Jewish Studio Process, which is 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.
The Jewish Studio Process is a ritually held experience that moves through the following steps:
-
Inquiry
Guided small group learning drawing from the Jewish practice of beit midrash (house of inquiry).
-
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.
-
Exploration
Exploration of your creativity through any medium, such as painting, music, dance, daydreaming, etc. Follow pleasure and what feels live for you.
-
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.
