The Sacred Arts of Hearth and Home

We don't really want to meet you online, we want to be with you in person.

But many of you live thousands of miles apart from each other.

So, every year we invite you to our virtual cottage in the woods; that's what we call our wintertime series of online courses. Whether you join us for one course or become a cottage resident (joining us for all courses) you will find warmth and kinship with your ancestors, and each other, keeping us cosy and inspired through the darkest months.

Cottage in the Woods contains a blend of text-based learning, embodied and practical exploration, anthropology and folklore studies, as well as additional support and development for cottage 'residents'.  

Cottage in the Woods is open to Jewish folk and allies of any gender, sexuality, and level of knowledge, age 16+.

Led by Kohenet Rachel and special guests, this year we will explore Jewish practices and lore relating to home-crafts. Cook up a menu and discover its stories with Rachel and chef and food activist, Sima Cutting, learn and make amulets with Rachel and special guest Rima Staines.

Cottage in the Woods contains a blend of text-based learning, embodied and practical exploration, anthropology and folklore studies, as well as additional support and development for those who wish.

Courses are open to Jewish folk and allies of any gender, sexuality, and level of knowledge, age 16+. Catch up audio recordings and handouts will be available for those who miss classes.

You can book to attend individual courses, or become a ‘cottage resident’ with access to all courses plus exclusive additional sessions and support. Occasionally you can even book for a one off session.
