Creative Workshop: Honoring and Channeling Loss and Adversity
2026-03-15 15:00 - 16:30
Sunday, March 15, 5 p.m.
Free
In partnership with CJFS
Led by artist and storyteller Dara Kosberg
RSVP

This 90-minute, in-person gathering invites you to slow down and honor a loss or adversity of any kind, personal or collective. This workshop is facilitated by artist, storyteller, and grief and post-traumatic growth program director, Dara Kosberg and is offered in partnership with CJFS.
Using flowers, leaves, and natural materials, we’ll create small mandalas as a way to honor and reflect on what we’ve lost or lived through. This could be anything from loss of a loved one to a personal, communal or societal challenge. The practice is simple and intuitive, offering a way to give shape to our experiences. We’ll provide materials, but you’re also welcome to bring small items – stones, mementos, photos – that you’d like to incorporate into your mandala.

From there, we’ll gather for reflection and conversation, gently shifting toward meaning and possibility inspired by our losses. We’ll close by creating a collective mandala together to honor the values and intentions we want to bring into our lives. No art experience needed. Facilitated by artist, storyteller, and grief and post-traumatic growth program director Dara Kosberg, this workshop is offered in connection with her solo show, “Homecoming”, taking place at the Levite JCC on Monday, March 16.

More about Dara’s story, “Homecoming:” Dara is on the adventure of her life studying art in Australia when she gets that call– her mom is dying, and she has to come home. Suddenly, their already difficult mother/daughter relationship becomes a lot more complicated. How do you make amends with a dead mom? What follows is a winding journey through the awkward, painful, unexpectedly hilarious process of finding yourself again after loss.
More about Rebecca’s story, “Gifted:” We spend our lives trying to figure out exactly who we are. Some things we get from our families, and some things are purely us, right? Join comedian and storyteller Becca on a journey about a surprise gift that changed everything as she knew it. This is a hilarious and gripping adventure about growing up and the mysteries that we discover – and sometimes even solve – along the way.
