Connect with a small group around each full moon to mix and learn with others going through similar stages in life. This optional gathering is a space to share more deeply and create lasting connections.
This music-driven live session is designed to give you an hour simply to honor and enjoy the life you’re cultivating. No experience required, and suitable for all abilities.
Receive loving messages that remind you of the month's spiritual energy, helping you stay connected to your intention all month long.
Explore optional extra resources each month to enrich your experience and connect more deeply to the Jewish wisdom of the month. You'll also get two special prompts each month to help you nourish yourself and express yourself creatively.

Enter the Jewish new year and the journey of returning to yourself. This sacred month sets the tone for what will happen during the full year ahead.
Explore the power of spaciousness and of "slowing down" in Jewish wisdom. Learn how this season creates a template for making every day sacred.
Find the inner light that guides you during this darkest time of the year. Tap into your dreams for direction and insight as you move forward.
This three-month journey is a powerful introduction to the practice of Rosh Chodesh. We'll end with an intentional closing celebration. From there, keep growing with this monthly opportunity for introspection and renewal!

Here's what it's like to learn with At The Well.
SEPTEMBER 17 - DECEMBER 27, 2024
This three-month holistic journey will bring you into the Jewish New Year with a new level of attunement to yourself, to the cycles of the moon, and to your companions in this special cohort experience.
Choose the ticket price that's right for you.
Join us to learn how the Hebrew calendar and the lunar months can help you listen to your heart, draw from ancestral wisdom, and honor the transitions in your life.
As we age, we become especially mindful of using our time with intention and creating a legacy of living authentically. We also see the cycles of time reflected in new ways within our bodies.
Together, we'll speak with honesty about the big moments in our lives — including menopause, retirement, illness, grief, grandparenthood, and beyond. We'll learn what Jewish wisdom has to say about these thresholds and transitions. And we'll hold all of this and more within a caring community space led by expert facilitators and teachers.
This cohort is for women and nonbinary people age 55+ who are curious about sacred time and the power of Rosh Chodesh. If you feel called to live with greater intention and to connect with a supportive community, we'd love for you to join us!
No prior knowledge or experience is required — you can come from any spiritual tradition or from none at all. This will be an accessible community space centering supportive learning and connection.
Absolutely! At The Well welcomes people of all spiritual backgrounds. Jewish wisdom has so much to offer in supporting your well-being. Whether you identify as Jewish or not, we welcome you to our resources and events, including this incredible cohort. Our Community Guidelines have more information about how we create inclusive and authentic spaces.
We have designed this program to have a “touch base” each week to create deeper connections, and a rhythm throughout your week and month. On the full moon week of our month, we will meet together and discuss the themes of the month in smaller, confidential break out groups. This will give you a chance to go deeper with yourselves, with the other in the cohort, get more vulnerable, and more messy with the content. To allow us to meet as many of the other participants as possible, you’ll be paired with new people each week.
This Sacred Intention cohort is designed to specifically honor the needs and experience of those 55+. As we age, we become especially mindful of using our time with intention and creating a legacy of living authentically. This group will use the power of the Hebrew calendar and the lunar months to help you listen to your heart, learn from this ancient wisdom, and connect with others in a similar stage of life.
Not 55 yet? Don't worry — we love intergenerational spaces, and will continue to offer other experiences that are for all ages 18+. Join the waitlist here and you'll be the first to find out!
Our monthly wisdom sessions are required and will take place online at 11am-12:30pm PT / 2-3:30pm ET on: October 8, November 5, and December 3, 2024.
All other sessions are optional but highly encouraged, and will take place on Tuesdays at 11am PT / 2pm ET.
We suggest setting aside 1-2 hours each week to participate in this cohort. Week 1 of each Hebrew month includes a required Monthly Wisdom Session, and we also highly recommend the optional meditation sits, small-group learning, and "Mindful Mixtape" gatherings to get the most out of this experience.
You'll also receive a monthly self-nourishment challenge and self-expression prompts to take your learning deeper.
The Sacred Intention cohort is held entirely online, so you'll need access to a personal computer and a private place to listen and participate. You'll also need a free Zoom account. (We will hold "Tech Office Hours" to answer any questions before our live sessions start. We're happy to show you the basics on how to use Zoom, so you know how to control your camera, mute and unmute yourself, and join the conversation in the chat.)
We'll also send emails and text messages each week to help you deepen your learning.
Participants in our most recent Moon-by-Moon Cohort told us that it deeply nourished them and they left feeling more connected to their spirituality, their bodies, and their community.
As one participant said: "While we have each had our own journeys, I have felt the sisterhood and connection as we walked together. I especially thank the At The Well team for their expert, gentle and loving guidance. This experience has been very, very special and I will always remember it."
Refunds will be issued in full for refund requests received on or before September 17, 2024. After Sept. 17, no refunds will be issued. Spaces are very limited, and we want you to create meaningful relationships with other participants through sustained connection.
Spaces in this cohort are limited. Reserve your spot here. We'll be in touch with a required questionnaire to help us get to know you. Please share as much detail as you’re able and comfortable!
