Experiencing Kabbalah
Kabbalah is the mystical heart of Judaism and has influenced both Christian and Muslim mysticism. In this workshop, we examine key Jewish mystical texts, ideas, and practices, and discuss their relevance to spirituality and personal development today. We explore the Kabbalists' experience of an androgynous divinity, their mapping of divine creative powers onto human beings, and their understanding of personal and collective transformation. We also experience key prayers, chants, meditations, and healing rituals. No background in Judaism is needed.
