RSM sessions with Ilana Rubenfeld

Donate to the Listening Hand instructional media project.
Help us grow our media collection to reach more people in need of a helping hand. When Ilana Rubenfeld passed in December 2022, she left behind a collection of VHS videos made during decades of trainings. Not all have survived the years, but many have. As a nonprofit, we are seeking donations to help us transfer more videos to digital, edit them and upload them to our Listening Hand media collection. These instructional videos will be available for private viewing by Certified Rubenfeld Synergists and Rubenfeld Synergy trainees, and a selection will be available for public viewing to answer the questions: who is Ilana Rubenfeld, what is the Rubenfeld Synergy Method, and why do it? Your donation helps our mission to preserve Ilana’s teaching legacy. Donate any amount and be the first to be alerted when new videos are added to our collection.
