(In)Visibility in the Jewish–Non-Jewish Field – Global

A Relational Inquiry into Hiding, Visibility, and the Cost of Belonging

Online | English

What will we be exploring in this Lab?

This Lab examines Jewish collective trauma around hiding, invisibility, and forced visibility, and how these patterns are shaped by antisemitism in the Jewish–non-Jewish field. We explore how survival strategies like passing, minimizing difference, or staying quiet become embodied over generations, and how the non-Jewish gaze—often shaped by inherited narratives that flatten or objectify—carries impact and historic weight. Our aim is to foster mutual witnessing and gently soften these patterns through slow, titrated relational presence.

Who is invited to participate?

At this point in the application process, we want to invite non-Jewish participants ready to explore the Jewish experience of embodied legacy of hiding, visibility, forced exposure and belonging with the Jewish–non-Jewish relational field. This Lab is for those committed to relational maturity, trauma sensitivity, and co-creating a healing field of collective witnessing—participants able to meet nuance, hold discomfort, confront antisemitism, and take responsibility for their impact in the collective field.

More about the journey of the Lab

The Lab will move slowly in a titrated way. We begin with personal and ancestral sensing around the wound of hiding and being visible within the non-Jewish gaze, then expand into relational dynamics in the Jewish–non-Jewish field. Each session weaves short teachings, guided somatic practice, small-group witnessing, and whole-group integration. The journey builds gradually, allowing safety, coherence, and capacity to deepen. The aim is not resolution but cultivating the conditions for authentic visibility and compassionate seeing offering the medicine of witnessing this specific wound.

When will we be meeting?

We will meet online 1–2 times per month from February 18 to December 16, 2026, for 16 sessions. Meetings are Wednesdays from 8–10 AM PT, 11 AM–1 PM ET, and 5–7 PM CT. Twelve sessions focus on core content and four offer practice space. Dates: 2/18, 3/4, 3/11, 4/15, 4/22, 5/13, 6/3, 6/24, 7/15, 8/5, 8/26, 9/16, 10/7, 11/4, 11/25, 12/16. You may also form a triad to stay connected and integrate between sessions. We will close the container Dec. 16 with a final integration session.
