Welcome to The CYP Academy. Relevant and fascinating topics, paired with delicious dinner.

Worrier to Warrior

Spring 2025

Who wouldn’t love to feel consistently happy, self-assured, and enthusiastic? Yet often we’re consumed by feelings of failure, regret, and self-doubt.

Do our delicate positive emotions stand a chance at being in control?

Worrier to Warrior is a powerful new course that offers practical tools and timeless Jewish wisdom to help you navigate those inner battles, tap into your soul’s strength, and face challenges with more clarity, calm, and confidence.

Build that emotional toolbox—you’ll be glad you did.

Can’t make it to all 4 classes? No worries, each one is a stand alone class with much to offer:)

Wednesdays at 8:00 PM. Dinner will be served. 

May 14th

Achieving Authenticity: When praised for a good deed, 70% of people admit to squirming because they feel their act lacked authenticity. In this first class, discover a place of objective authenticity within yourself that can weather any self-doubt and help you build confidence in your genuine goodness.

May 21st

Embracing Flaws: Wrestling with feelings of overwhelm, procrastination, or general not-enough-ness? This class explores the seemingly senseless feelings of inadequacy and charts a course to transform them from adversary to ally.

May 28th

Rethinking Regret: We all slip, and it’s natural to feel some regret or guilt when we do. But can we focus on past actions without becoming paralyzed by bad feelings? In class 3, we’ll challenge the negativity associated with regret, finding a catalyst for remarkable growth where it’s least expected.

June 4th

Peering through Pain: An optimistic attitude is a noble goal, but the sincere, burning flames of sadness, suffering, or loss can be incredibly difficult to douse. This class embraces the validity of pain while sensitively enhancing our internal perspectives to let the sun peek through despite the reality of our suffering.
