R. Marcia’s Davvenen' Leadership Training is an opportunity to intensively engage with the high art of leading prayer.

Join us whether you are a beginning service leader, an experienced leader, just wondering whether you could ever do this, or because you care about the dynamic of communal prayer and want to be more in the inside of how effective prayer experiences happen.This kind of training is called a “master-class,” a term that describes a style of coaching which allows anyone in the group to experiment with leading a section (small or large) of a service. Then we run that section again, coaching diverse approaches to making that section more effective.  

In this master-class anyone can prepare or spontaneously offer a specific section of the service to lead and explore. In a spirit of experimentation and delight, we lovingly explore tried-and-true and novel ways to create the most engaging and compelling prayer out of YOUR intentions.

AND - the kahal, the “congregation” is important too!

The congregation of active davveners forms the vessel out of which the prayer emerges.  The synergy between the leader and the kahal is part of what makes a great davvenen experience. Further, a community that has knowledge of the process and comes to davvenen prepared to engage is a gift to the leadership.  It is a gratifying process for all!
