IRS990/Desc0Immersive: In January 2018, we led our first Studio Immersive: A Five-Day Deep Dive into Jewish Inquiry and Creative Process. The Immersive brought together 19 participants, diverse in demographics, from across the country. We received twice as many applications as we had spots available. Professional Development: In 2017 JSP led 30 unique sessions for client organizations. Half of these were professional development. For the other half, we were hired as content/experience providers to expand organizational capacity. Six were for a national audience including Sefaria, Hillel International and UpStart. Ongoing Offerings: JSP offers a series of ongoing programs including morning spiritual practice and Torah study, Open Studio, Shabbat & High Holy Day services, creative spiritual preparation for major Jewish holidays, and classes and one-day immersive experiences.
