I find myself reluctant to stop blogging about DLTI -- as if ceasing to blog about the program would mean it was really and truly over. I imagine that the experience will continue to find its way into my writing, both here and elsewhere...but it's probably time to draw the series of posts written during the program itself to a close.

For easy reference, a final links round-up post. One way to navigate this material is through the DLTI category; that link will bring you to all of the posts on a single page, in reverse-chronological order. Or, if you prefer, here's a series of snapshots of the experience as it unfolded:

• Week 1 at DLTI

• DLTI: 4 worlds, week 2, post 1

• DLTI (week 2) post 2: gleanings

• First thoughts on week 3 of DLTI

• Religion, and the 3-petalled iris (DLTI week 3, post 2)

• Approaching our last week of DLTI

• Ineffable week 4 of DLTI

• Shabbat gleanings: DLTI week 4, post 2

• Shabbat mincha poem

I was part of DLTI-4 (the fourth cohort to enter into the journey of the program.) A few of my dear friends are already enrolled in DLTI-5, the next iteration of the program, which begins in August. I envy them a little: they're about to embark on something truly extraordinary. I look forward to reliving the experience vicariously through their stories...as, perhaps, others have relived the experience through mine.

I can't thank my chevre, or my teachers, enough.
