The Place of All Possibility is a paradigm-shifting work that reframes the whole of Torah as a contemporary guidebook for creativity. Drawing from the deep well of Jewish sacred texts, and the radical interpretive strategies of ancient rabbis, The Place of All Possibility provides teachings and tools for those who seek to employ creativity as a force of transformation. Putting spiritual wisdom in conversation with contemporary disciplines of art therapy, liberation theology, and creativity research, this essential book invites us all to rediscover our place in a world of mutual thriving. Packed with practical exercises to inspire your creative practice, The Place of All Possibility is for all people—from any tradition or none—who want to seed a world of imagination, abundance, and joy.
Rab­bi Adi­na Allen is cofounder and cre­ative direc­tor of Jew­ish Stu­dio Project (JSP), an orga­ni­za­tion that is seed­ing a future in which every per­son is con­nect­ed to their cre­ativ­i­ty. Adi­na devel­oped the Jew­ish Stu­dio Process method­ol­o­gy, which she has brought to thou­sands of activists, edu­ca­tors, artists, and cler­gy. A nation­al media con­trib­u­tor, pop­u­lar speak­er, and work­shop leader, Adina’s writ­ing can be found in schol­ar­ly as well as main­stream pub­li­ca­tions. She lives with her fam­i­ly in Berke­ley, California.
