Omer Reflections Coloring Journal (digital)
Omer Reflections Coloring Journal (digital)
This seasonal offering for counting the Omer (which occurs between the start of Passover and Shavuot) is 140-page that is best described as an educational art book that offers coloring pages and daily/weekly reference points within a lightly guided journaling format. The art and reflections shared are from my prior Omer counting journey, allowing the journaler to walk alongside that journey while creating something new.
The digital copy comes as a zip file with an A4 PDF, A5 PDF, a GoodNotes-compatible file with sections marked in the outline for easy navigation, and some info on digital coloring. This version is available in chevruta packages, one for sharing with 3 counting comrades and the other for sharing with 4 counting comrades. I deeply value the friendships I’ve gained through counting and reflecting with others, so I wanted to create incentive to do this in community.
The key contents:
- Brief overview of counting the Omer as a Jewish practice
- Recommendations for more in-depth learning (decks, workbooks, favorite reads)
- Visual map and written guide for chanting the Omer, a mystic practice detailed in Counting the Omer: A Kabbalistic Meditation Guide by Rabbi Min Kantrowitz
- Visual art and intuitive affirmations (creatively harvested by during my Omer journey in 5783 / 2023) for each week of the Omer and for each individual day of counting the Omer
- Coloring-friendly weekly and daily art pages for the journaler to add their own chosen colors, notes, and life to along the way
- Journaling space for each week and each day, along with reflection questions and extra journaling pages in the back for wrapping up the process (or even taking notes during Shavuot)
- Bonus coloring sheet for the book cover at the back of the journal
