6.00-8.00pm
GENDER AND THE DIVINE
He/She/It/Them/They?


About Shira
As founder of Mixed Multitudes, an organization that exposes diverse groups of Jews and
fellow travelers to the beauty and power of Jewish life, tradition, and conversation, Rabbi
Shira Stutman is currently working on a variety of projects including: helping launch a new
minyan in Aspen, Colorado; supporting Jews in having less reactive and more heart-centered
conversations about Israel; teaching in progressive institutions about antisemitism; and
serving as scholar-in-residence for projects that build the next generation of philanthropic
leadership. She was named one of “America’s Most Inspiring Rabbis” by The Jewish Forward
and received the award of T’ruah Rabbinic Human Rights Hero, among other awards. She is
currently the Aspen Jewish Community’s interim Rabbi.

About the Event
Shira will be kicking off our Retreat Program in 2024. Last year we had all male presenters in
our spring Speaker Program; this year we have all female. Gender is becoming an increasingly
hot topic in our culture at the moment. How should we think about it spiritually? Are there
correct pronouns to use for the Divine? In this two hour introductory session Shira will be
setting out how we can think of spirituality in relation to gender, looking at the subject
through the lens of her Jewish background, but also making reference to other ‘Wisdom
Traditions’.
There will be a Q&A and opportunity to hear about the other speakers we are bringing to Aspen.

Every week we will focus on a topic within a theme.

Creating Space webAt the moment we are looking at what the topic of 'Creating Space'.
The way to create more harmony in our world is by us individually creating the space for harmony to come about.
How do we create the space for this to happen?
What is the technology involved in creating space for ourselves and others?



There will also be prayer and meditation, generally led by Heather, and Nicholas will give a talk on the topic for the day.

Finally, there is an opportunity for discussion and feedback as we pass the microphone around for everyone to join in.
