The SHVILLI Collective is a new initiative of the SHVILLI Center,
designed to cultivate a vibrant, creative ecosystem for women through the mediums of writing, music, visual art, and embodied spiritual expression.
Rooted in Jewish wisdom, Torah, and open-hearted creativity, the Collective offers seasonal programming and ongoing opportunities for artistic exploration, personal growth, and soulful connection.
This is not a performance space. It is a process-centered, inclusive, and thoughtfully held creative community. Our guiding principle: presence over polish, expression over perfection.
Our mission is to foster an accessible and inspiring space for women to create, explore, and share artistic expression grounded in spiritual life, personal truth, and communal support. Through creative offerings, we aim to build a deeply connected, resilient, and expressive community; one voice, one word, one brushstroke, one prayer at a time.

We welcome Jewish women of all ages and creative experience levels.
Participants may identify as artists, musicians, or writers, or may be picking up a pen, instrument, or paintbrush for the first time in years.
Some may come to share and teach; others to participate and create, and some may simply come to listen and be held in a creative space.
There is no audition, no expectation, and no pressure to perform.
Participation is fluid; members can opt in based on interest, schedule, and comfort level. We prioritize accessibility, emotional safety, and authentic connection.
Join our free membership today.
In times of personal and collective uncertainty, creativity becomes a lifeline. Jewish women across communities in Israel are seeking spaces that nourish expression, healing, and connection, without requiring perfection or production. The SHVILLI Collective meets that need with integrity, warmth, and depth.
We believe creativity is not a luxury. It’s not an indulgence.
It's an essential part of the human experience.
