From that time forward, she felt a yearning for God, which she pursued through attending Jewish prayer experiences, studying dance, yoga and following a path into the healing arts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Professionally, she worked as a dance therapist and then drawn to the depth and vitality of yoga, she became a yoga teacher. Sharon wanted to draw upon the profound wisdom of yoga and also revive, not ignore or abandon her identity as a Jew. She collaborated with her rabbi, Tara Feldman offering yoga classes inspired by Jewish holidays, text, metaphor and music. Together they authored a workbook, Into A Jewish Holiday Year with Yoga. Alongside her colleague and teacher Diane Bloomfield, Sharon is honored to create Torah Yoga retreats that will inspire meaningful connections and spiritual joy at the Isabella Freedman Retreat Center. <br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sharonepsteinyoga.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.sharonepsteinyoga.com<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-style-rounded\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/adamah.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Julie-Emden.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10453 lazyload\" style=\"aspect-ratio:3\/4;object-fit:cover\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"214\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/adamah.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Julie-Emden.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10453 lazyload\" style=\"aspect-ratio:3\/4;object-fit:cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/adamah.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Julie-Emden.jpg 214w, https:\/\/adamah.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Julie-Emden-201x300.jpg 201w, https:\/\/adamah.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Julie-Emden-167x250.jpg 167w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 214px) 100vw, 214px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Julie Emden<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Julie Emden, E-RYT-500, Halprin Practitioner, is the Founder of <a href=\"https:\/\/embodiedjewishlearning.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Embodied Jewish Learning<\/a>, which hosts an <a href=\"https:\/\/embodiedjewishlearning.org\/ejw-tt-2023\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Advanced Teacher Training<\/a>, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/embodiedjewishlearning.org\/ejw-network\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Embodied Jewish Wisdom Network<\/a>, a global collective of leaders and seekers of movement practices infused with Jewish wisdom.

This program is deeply rooted in Jewish spiritual wisdom and mind-body healing practices. As Rav Nachman of Breslov taught, <em>\u201cJoy is not merely incidental to your spiritual quest. It is vital.\u201d <\/em>By sharing inspirational learning, reflective practices, and communal support, we aim for nothing less than the renewal of joy after a year that included profound pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The serene and nurturing environment of the Isabella Freedman Retreat Center will provide the perfect backdrop for this healing journey. The power of spirituality to rebuild the soul will be a central theme, as we draw on ancient teachings and modern therapeutic techniques to restore our sense of hope and connection. We will support each other in transforming grief into a renewed capacity for joy, as we learn to dance again, embracing and being embraced by Torah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Join us this Simchat Torah as we rebuild our souls, honor our resilience, and rediscover the enduring power of joy and spirituality to strengthen our work once again to build this world from love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>We feature two prayer options:<\/strong> We will have <strong>Traditional Egalitarian<\/strong> and <strong>Orthodox <em>Mechitza<\/em><\/strong> minyanim.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\n<div class=\"mm-custom-block tabbed-nav-block\" style=\"min-height: 100px;\">\n\n\t\n\t    <div class=\"tabGroup\">\n\t\t    \n\t\t\t\n      <ul class=\"tabButtons\">\n                  <li rel=\"1\">\n            <button type=\"button\" class=\"tabButton\" rel=\"1\">Pricing<\/button>\n          <\/li>\n                  <li rel=\"2\">\n            <button type=\"button\" class=\"tabButton\" rel=\"2\">Teachers &#038; Educators<\/button>\n          <\/li>\n                  <li rel=\"3\">\n            <button type=\"button\" class=\"tabButton\" rel=\"3\">Davening and Ritual<\/button>\n          <\/li>\n                  <li rel=\"4\">\n            <button type=\"button\" class=\"tabButton\" rel=\"4\">Program Highlights<\/button>\n          <\/li>\n              <\/ul>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"tabwrapper\">\n<div class=\"mm-custom-block single-tab-item\" >\n\t\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2024 Pricing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We will be hosting two separate retreats: <strong>Sukkahfest<\/strong> over the start of Sukkot and <strong>Simchafest<\/strong> over Simchat Torah weekend.

Her work has been exhibited nationally, including at Galerie Lucida, Governors Island, Coral Gables Museum, and Dominican University. A recipient of the City Artist Corps Grant, her art delves into themes of childhood, memory, nostalgia, identity, and environmentalism. Deborah&#8217;s practice investigates the dynamic between childhood and parenting, often using recycled, non-traditional materials, including fabrics that reflect her early training in textile design. Her works tell stories of childhood, frequently portraying fragmented memories and experiences. The figures in her pieces are often set within natural landscapes, surrounded by flora and fauna that evoke her childhood explorations of Inwood, NYC, its parks, the Hudson River, and local public spaces. Her work draws inspiration from medieval manuscripts, Victorian motifs, and symbolism. Deborah incorporates painting, drawing, assemblage, ceramics, and animation into her practice. As an educator, Deborah has worked with the Hudson River Museum, 92Y, Stepping Stones Museum for Children, and ArtsWestchester. She has curated exhibitions at Bronx Art Space, Bronx Council on the Arts, Lehman College Art Gallery, and Wave Hill.
