About the Campaign

Following a year of strategic planning and infrastructure development, we are rolling out our bold new vision for cultivating pathways to Jewish embodiment. 

This vision both builds on our first 4+ years working to bring Jewish embodiment more fully across the Jewish communal landscape, and introduces an innovative new platform to support people (like you!) in cultivating and sustaining their own practice of Jewish embodiment. 

We believe that Every Body deserves to be nourished and sustained. 

Your support helps us build a fertile root system from which we can together strengthen our personal and communal ways of being to keep us more whole, healthy, and aligned with our core Jewish values of justice, equity, compassion, and belonging. 

We've set an ambitious goal of $18,000 raised through both direct contributions and monthly sustainer pledges made over the two weeks from the new to the full moon of the Hebrew month of Elul (September 3-17). 

Any and all contributions are deeply appreciated.

About Our Work 

Since our founding in late 2019, Mitsui Collective has become a leading organization in the Jewish embodiment space and a well respected thought leader and collaborative partner across the Jewish communal ecosystem. Whether through our antiracism and embodied healing work, innovative human-centered program design, groundbreaking research on intersectional Jewish identity, or professional Jewish embodiment cohorts — our work is built to help people and organizations respond to the never-ending challenges of our time with greater skill, capacity, and resilience. 

Last year, we developed an exciting new strategic plan built to help us continue our national impact and field building work while also creating far more opportunities for folks of all different backgrounds, identities, and locations to cultivate and sustain a nourishing practice of Jewish embodiment. 

As result, we’re now restructuring Mitsui Collective around two core branches:

The Mitsui Institute for Jewish Embodiment

Our research and development arm, the Institute offers resources, training, and field-building alongside consultation, programs, and partnership work with other organizations across the Jewish landscape. If you're familiar with work we've done in the past — workshops, holiday resources, cohorts like our Kollel community of practice for Jewish embodiment practitioners working for social change ... all of that and more is now part of the Institute. 

Studio Mitsui

Studio Mitsui is our brand new platform, currently in construction, designed to support individuals in developing and sustaining a practice of Jewish embodiment. 

Studio is where and how we get into practice.

If you’ve been looking for ways to both cultivate a more holistic wellness practice and strengthen the alignment of your day to day actions and behaviors with your core values and beliefs as we collectively work together towards a more whole, just, and equitable world … Studio is being built exactly for you. 

First up: an online platform accessible to anyone with a high speed internet connection and a little space to move. Next: piloting local in-person studios, starting with our hometown of Cleveland, OH and over time expanding across the country — maybe even to a neighborhood near you. 

Together, Institute and Studio form the new backbone of Mitsui Collective as we continue to grow, strengthen, and deepen our work.

Why We Need Your Support

All this growth means expanding our Institute faculty and Studio teacher pools, building partnerships, deepening and expanding our curriculum and content, and more. 

We’re really excited about all of it, and we also need your help. We’ve set an ambitious goal for our Elul Moonrise Fundraiser — a total of $18,000 raised in both direct contributions and monthly sustainer pledges made over the two weeks from the new to the full moon of the Hebrew month of Elul. Monthly pledges will begin in 5785 (starting October 2024). For our campaign totals, we will assume one year (12 months) of contributions. 

Can you make a contribution today and pledge a monthly contribution starting in the new Jewish year (October 2024)? 

All contributions deeply welcome and appreciated. 

Thank you for your support in sustaining and nourishing our people and our communities so that we can get into practice and together build the world we so deeply need not just in the future but right now in this very time.
