Bibliodrama: Reflections from The Book of Ruth- From Destiny to Choice

The Book of Ruth is actually the only story in the entire Bible whose plot is activated and progressed by the daring actions of its female protagonists!

What drives Ruth to leave her country, her homeland, her mother and father’s house and get to a place where at face value, she doesn’t stand a chance?

What is behind her unconditional loyalty as a bride to her mother-in-law Naomi?

We will experience their story as if it is ours and it happens to us here and now, we will look at what will come up and wake up in us as a result related to relationships, choice patterns, points of hope in moments of despair and more.

We will also have fun, enrich ourselves with insights and fill our batteries of mind and spirit.

Testimonials:

As I entered the role of Ruth, I gained insights regarding the choices I make in my relationships with significant figures (my mother, spouses,) and the insights continued to come even after the workshop and opened the door to meaningful questions such as: Who do I clingi to? Who am I following? Where do I lead and where am I being lead? It was a powerful experience and the 'tokens" keep falling! "

“I attended Tamar Pelleg's workshop on the Book of Ruth at an ASGPP conference in 2010 (in Philadelphia) and was deeply impressed with the process---moved, too! Her gentle approach to Bibliodrama illustrated well the principle of personal creativity and how different people bring their own story and interpretation.”

I was given the opportunity to connect with Ruth Naomi and Orpa in a new and different way. The focus was on the character and her conflict, but the spotlight was internal, on what I was going through.In the process I received clarity on my fears, doubts and questions that I had and felt liberation and relief. I want more!

When I enter the role of Ruth, within minutes, as I walked in her shoes I experienced in my body and gain insight into the change I needed to make in my life: I realized I was willing to let go and cut the umbilical cord that bounded me to the same behaviors I copied from my mother. I realized I need to let go of what no longer serves me. Thank you very much Tamar!
