6.00-8.00pm
GENDER AND THE DIVINE
He/She/It/Them/They?


About Shira
As founder of Mixed Multitudes, an organization that exposes diverse groups of Jews and
fellow travelers to the beauty and power of Jewish life, tradition, and conversation, Rabbi
Shira Stutman is currently working on a variety of projects including: helping launch a new
minyan in Aspen, Colorado; supporting Jews in having less reactive and more heart-centered
conversations about Israel; teaching in progressive institutions about antisemitism; and
serving as scholar-in-residence for projects that build the next generation of philanthropic
leadership. She was named one of “America’s Most Inspiring Rabbis” by The Jewish Forward
and received the award of T’ruah Rabbinic Human Rights Hero, among other awards. She is
currently the Aspen Jewish Community’s interim Rabbi.

About the Event
Shira will be kicking off our Retreat Program in 2024. Last year we had all male presenters in
our spring Speaker Program; this year we have all female. Gender is becoming an increasingly
hot topic in our culture at the moment. How should we think about it spiritually? Are there
correct pronouns to use for the Divine? In this two hour introductory session Shira will be
setting out how we can think of spirituality in relation to gender, looking at the subject
through the lens of her Jewish background, but also making reference to other ‘Wisdom
Traditions’.
There will be a Q&A and opportunity to hear about the other speakers we are bringing to Aspen.

Planning your Visit

Hi there!


unnamed (9)

We are Nicholas and Heather Vesey. 
We lead the services here at the Aspen Chapel most Sundays.
Have a look around our site. There are plenty of fee courses to watch from our 'Wisdom from the Top of the World' page. Click here to go to it

If you are planning on a visit, here is some information as to what to expect:

When: We meet every Sunday at 9.30am for about an hour. If you cannot make it in person, you can live stream the event by clicking here.

Where: We are the chapel by the roundabout as you come into aspen. Specifically here.

What: We (Heather and Nicholas) come from a Christian Episcopal background, however our community draws from all the world’s wisdom traditions with the aim of learning together to live our lives more skillfully.

Every week we will focus on a topic within a theme.

GuernicaAt the moment we are looking at what the topic of 'Being at Peace'
How do we experience being at peace, and what is the connection to the nature of our 'being'.
When our 'being' is at peace, are we at peace?


We will have a musician who will set the mood for the event. That might be guitar, piano, or any other instrument. They will generally play 4 pieces throughout the service.

There will also be prayer and meditation, generally led by Heather, and Nicholas will give a talk on the topic for the day.

Finally, there is an opportunity for discussion and feedback as we pass the microphone around for everyone to join in.

Kids? We also offer childcare with younger children being looked after and given creative ways to look at a topic for the day.

Coffee and Yummies. After the service there is a food and drink reception for everyone to get to know each other a bit more.
