Creative process facilitation
Guided sessions that nurture creativity and make meaning together
As a Jewish Studio Project Fellow, 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:
-
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.

Sustain Studio: Creative Omer Study
In this series, we will count the Omer and explore what it means to "tend life" at this moment through the sefirot. As we move through the attributes of the Omer, we will surface what feels alive for each of us as a way of orienting to how we want to show up in the world. In each session, we'll engage in creative inquiry as spiritual practice using the Jewish Studio Process.
