The Peaceful Grandparent Project is a new Orot Peaceful Family initiative offering grandparents the tools to deepen connections with their adult children and grandchildren and begin to infuse family moments with sacredness and tranquility, using ancient Jewish wisdom and teachings from the mindfulness tradition. This is for grandparents of all different backgrounds. Our program fosters empathy, compassion, and love, redefining grandparenting as a sacred journey. Orot has adapted its renowned Peaceful Parent Project® program to cater specifically to grandparents, introducing specialized texts and topics that resonate with the unique experience of being a grandparent. This new initiative is led by Dr. Jane Shapiro, a proud Bubbie whose identity and experiences as a grandmother inform her approach to teaching and mentoring.

Registration for this series is now closed. If you would still like to register before Thursday, October 31, please email Rachel@sholomchicago.org.
