Ebb & Flow: A Transition Ritual for the Eve of Inauguration

Tuesday, January 19th at 7:30 PM
This event is in partnership with GatherDC and Asiyah.

For so many of us, the past four plus years have been a time of tumult, challenge, and chaos. We’ve experienced rage and frustration, moments of hope and solidarity. In all of this, we’ve come to learn more about who we are, and who we want to be, as individuals and as a nation.

Inauguration Day will mark a shift in our country as a new administration assumes power. But the day should not only mark a shift in leadership. We can use the transition to recommit ourselves to the work that is ahead; to mark a change within us.

On the evening of January 19th, join us at 7:30 PM EST for a short transition ritual to help us mark this moment in a reflective way. We will be using the teachings and wisdom of the Jewish water-based ritual of mikvah adapted for a communal hand-washing experience.

Participants should bring paper and pen, a large bowl, a cup full of water, and a hand towel.
