Docent
Mevr. Tamar Robin Star
In times of collective trauma and personal hardship, writing and storytelling have been essential tools for Jewish resilience. This seminar is an invitation to self-exploration and healing, using storytelling, journaling, creative expression, and group exercises.
Through masterpieces from art, cinema, theater, and literature, we will explore how personal and collective narratives shape identity, healing, and liberation. Participants will practice communication skills, self-expression, and sharing in a way that feels comfortable for them.
We will also address the rise of antisemitism today, particularly in the Netherlands, and explore practical ways to cope, respond, and find strength in our shared history and identity.
This will be a safe and open space, where everyone will have a place to express themselves—or simply observe. The sessions will focus on creative exploration, trauma awareness, and storytelling as a tool for resilience.
And yes, it will be fun, for sure!
