Life Cycling: Jewish Shamanic Wisdom of the Seasonal Celebrations
with Rabbi Gershon Winkler
Pre-registration required
The 12th-century sage Rabbi Avraham ibn Daud taught that the universe is always in motion and the stars are constantly shifting in their constellar arrangements. As they do so they effect changes in our planet, which in turn creates shifts in Nature, which in turn effect the souls of all earth creatures. Learn about the nature of these changes and how to tap into the mystique and choreography of the dance we so glibly refer to as Life on Earth. Each segment of this series will introduce both written and oral traditions from ancient Jewish mystery wisdom, much of which is unavailable in the English vernacular. Come and experience the rites and chants associated with the seasonal changes and how they nourish our souls. PRE-REGISTRATION SPECIAL: Those pre-registering for this workshop series will receive free admission to all four of Rabbi Gershon’s Saturday evening talks on October 27, December 15, February 16, and May 17 at 7:30pm.
$300 members, $400 general public
