Special Classes and Electives
In these times of strife, absorbing crisis after devastating crisis, traumatic event after traumatic event, we know that if humanity is to survive, let alone thrive, a radical shift must occur. In that spirit, I am offering a course focused on our need to evolve from the stories we hold central to our individual and communal identity.
If we are not aware of the stories that we carry from the past which no longer serve us, they will continue to repeat over generations, establishing an inescapable pattern. We are warned to be careful lest a story becomes assimilated into our self-understanding, our communal understanding or, even broader, as the human narrative.
To celebrate my 20th year of teaching at Kabbalah Experience, I am inviting you to join in the conversation about a new story for humanity. Over the centuries, Kabbalists have challenged the traditional interpretation of the Torah and suggested that a New Torah needs to be revealed for a new story to take root and blossom as a Tree of Life.
What is the life span of a story and how do we know when it is time to put it to rest? We will explore inspirational texts which reveal new ways of seeing old stories and which foreshadow the evolution of humankind. A New Story can change the course of history, it always has.

“A dream not interpreted is like a letter not read.” This quote is not from Freud or Jung but from the Zohar, the classic medieval Kabbalah text connecting dreams and our spiritual growth. We spend an average of 9 years dreaming. What do our dreams reflect to us of our experience? How are dreams guides for our emotional and spiritual development? Come and see the significance of dreams. Journaling and sharing your dreams helps you apply the Kabbalah dream framework.

Mystical Hebrew Letters: The early Kabbalah focused on the Hebrew letters and language and how this code underlies creation. The beauty of the letters is expressed through their meaning, shape, name and numerical value. The Hebrew letters are containers for the energies of time, including the months of the year and the 12 Spiritual Senses of Soul explained in Sefer Yetzirah (The book of Formation).
