Hi, I am Wren Ganin-Pinto and welcome to Bones and Breath- Jewish, Multi-faith and Eco-spiritual Chaplaincy weaving somatics, art, ritual, and liberatory practices to build resiliency, radical wholeness and care in a world that needs each one of us as much as we need each other
As you enter this virtual sanctuary space, my prayer is that you take notice of what resonates in your body, follow your curiosity and reach out to weave a thread of connection with us!
חוְעָ֥שׂוּ לִ֖י מִקְדָּ֑שׁ וְשָֽׁכַנְתִּ֖י בְּתוֹכָֽם
And, they shall make me a sanctuary and I will dwell in their midst… Exodus 25:8
Below are some questions that I am asking at a time when all we truly know as constant is change —
What identities do I carry with me that may no longer serve me in my life?
When do I feel the most alive/the most dead?
What is my place in revolutionary acts of loving justice?
How are my ancestors rooting for me?
How do we heal from a world that constantly breaks our hearts?
How can death teach us about how to live more fully?
What happens when we practice surrender to the Mystery and Unknown before us?
What can be found in the brilliance of our mistakes?
How can we best hear the deep inner call when we are listening?
How can the earth and her rhythms be our life and death teacher?
How can we see/feel/experience the mundane as sacred?
What daily activities can become ‘ritualized’?
What creative expression awakens the Divine within?
What might it look like to repair racial harm spiritually (without the bypass)?
What are the ways we are rising up out of the broken systems that have failed to recognize our humanity and true potential to live well?
What is possible when we come together and truly grieve?
How can we Chaplain this Movement Moment?
