Therapist Tashlich ~ Marina Del Rey Sunset Yacht Cruise
An embodied gathering for Jewish therapists, on the water Sunday, September 28th
In years past, we’ve come together for this powerful, unique experience virtually, on Zoom. It’s become a beloved marker of season on the JTC calendar, looked forward to by our global community.
Now, more than ever, our collective neshama is calling out for physical presence and connection. Join us as we bring our beloved tradition of Therapist Tashlich to Southern California for an in-person, bespoke event on a chartered yacht at golden hour, attuning to the vibes of the sea.
Our Jewish legacy guides us to experience the world around us in many layers at once. And as therapists, we’re constantly tracking and connecting with the many moving parts of the client’s experience: relationally, cognitively, symbolically, etc.
As ethical stewards of care, we also have an eye on ourselves, both during and after session. How did we show up? Where did we miss the client? How could it have gone better? We move through it in reflection, solo or with colleagues… but there is always a bit that stays with us.
Tashlich calls us to the water: to reflect, release, and re-emerge for the year ahead. We gather not just to cast off the burdens upon our shoulders, but to hold close our growth and moments of light and connection. To acknowledge the ways we’ve stretched, softened, and survived – as clinicians and as Jews in 2025.
The voyage includes tray-passed appetizers and refreshments and the opportunity to connect over depth and laughter, as well as quiet reflection.
