Talks, workshops, and written pieces exploring narrative healing, sacred psychology, the psychology of blessing, and Jewish spiritual insight.

Speaking & Teaching

I speak and teach at the intersection of Torah, disability, dignity, and moral repair.

My work draws on depth psychology, lived experience, and close reading of ancient texts to address contemporary questions of exclusion, authority, belonging, and responsibility. I am interested in what remains when familiar narratives fail — and how individuals and communities repair what has been fractured without denying what has been true.

I offer talks, guest teaching, facilitated conversations, and small salons for communities seeking depth, honesty, and moral clarity.

Speaking & Teaching Themes

These are not lectures. They are invitations into reflection and reckoning.

Torah as Mirror
Reading ancient text as a living practice for modern thresholds, loss, and responsibility.

Disability, Dignity, and the Cost of Exclusion
What ableism reveals about power, belonging, and who is allowed to lead.

Moral Injury and Spiritual Repair
When institutions harm — and what repair actually requires.

Authority Without Permission
Claiming voice and responsibility outside sanctioned roles.

What Remains
Blessing, inheritance, and meaning after certainty collapses.

Themes can be adapted for different audiences and contexts.
