FAQ

What is TPP (Teshuvah Puzzle Process)?
At this moment in time, it is more important than ever to reconnect with ourselves, to return to the essence of what makes us human, to clear the way for our highest selves to emerge. Luckily, the Jewish people have a time every year that is set aside to do exactly that. Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur offer a time for Teshuva, for returning, reassessing, and doing the (inner) work that needs to be done so that we can emerge with understanding, purpose and joy, better able to do our part to repair the world – literally. If you are ready for an intensive spiritual journey, join Rabbi, therapist and mindfulness practitioner Marcelo Bronstein for the online Teshuvah Puzzle Process, beginning September 1st. . You will be both challenged and supported as you dig deep into your relationships, passions, regrets, embarrassments, hopes, obstacles, fears, callings, dreams and more. Over the course you will create your own Sefer Chayim – a private spiritual workbook full of questions and provocations, and space to work on putting together your particular puzzle pieces in an effort to reveal your highest self, your truest essence.
