[Adta] Getting the Word Out!

[Ilene Serlin]

Hi Barbara,

I just led a movement workshop for Tu B'Shvat, and worked with the  
image of the tree and text from the Song of Songs. It is a wonderful  
way to celebrate an embodied spirituality.

Good to hear others doing this work.

Best wishes,

Leni (Ilene) Serlin
