What becomes possible when we loosen our grip on certainty — and get curious about what else might be true? Join Rabbi Shereen Sarick for a spirited, story-rich reflection that invites us to explore life’s twists and turns with more openness, courage, and imagination.

Following the reflection, Shereen will offer a brief “Ask Me Anything” time — a warm, welcoming space for questions about Judaism, the life of a rabbi, and whatever else you’ve always wondered. Come for depth, come for delight, come for a little holy mischief.

Rabbi Shereen Sarick has been, and in many cases still is: an environmental educator, massage therapist, foster parent, Israel tour bus leader, wife, mother (to many more than the son she and her husband made themselves), high school substitute teacher, Aspen Thrift Shop volunteer and board member, National Coordinator for Second Nurture- a non-profit supporting foster families, and founder/president of a non-profit building and supporting schools in Nepal. Shereen is a vegan, celebrates Groundhog Day with unbridled exuberance, and her favorite color is orange.

Sol Theatre Company and TACAW are excited to co-host a three-part professional development workshop for artists and educators interested in developing their skills as a teaching artist. This series is designed for creatives of all disciplines who want to further hone their teaching craft and create effective, engaging, and inclusive arts education programs.

Participants will explore the core responsibilities of a teaching artist, including classroom management, lesson planning, and adapting instruction for diverse learning needs. The workshop emphasizes practical tools and real-world application, culminating in hands-on teaching practice with youth actors. By the end of the series, artists will gain confidence in leading a classroom, designing age-appropriate lessons, and stepping into teaching artist roles in schools, community programs, and arts organizations.

This workshop is ideal for creatives who are curious about arts education, seeking supplemental income, or looking to expand their professional practice through teaching.
