Just as the seven weeks between Passover and Shavuot correspond to the seven lower sefirot (spiritual qualities) of the Tree of Life, so too, the seven weeks beginning with Tisha b’Av and leading up to Rosh Hashanah are also portals into these transformational energies. This series of ten workshops (which begins three weeks before Tisha b’Av) will explore all ten sefirot experientially through ten core High Holiday chants.
This program will also prepare you and ramp up to this year’s special High Holy Day celebrations with Urban Adamah and Torah of Awakening!
