The study of Kabbalah enables us to discover what is hidden from our perception in plain sight. In this introduction to the basic teachings of the Kabbalah you learn to see beyond habituated and constricted thinking and become open to experiencing the connectivity of all of created reality—what is known in physics as Quantum Entanglement, in Depth Psychology as Synchronicity and in Kabbalah as Soul Connections.

Classes are offered in-person and virtually through Zoom:

• Class meets: Sept 18, Oct 2, 9, 16, 23, 30, Nov 6, 13, 27, and Dec 4 – No Class Sept 25, Nov 20)

A key to consciousness in Kabbalah is the Tree of Life, a visual map of how infinite and finite flow into and from each other. We enter places, form relationships and pursue projects often with little understanding of how they come about, their meaning and the relevance of seeing beyond what manifests. In this introduction to the Tree of Life we learn about and then practice incorporating this system of energy flow in all our interactions.

Classes are offered in-person and virtually through Zoom:

• Class meets: Sept 19, 26, Oct 3, 10, 24, 31, Nov 7, 14, 28, and Dec 5 – No Class Oct 17 and Nov 21

This course will be an act of defiance and an inquiry into the balance between what we “let in and keep out” (the expansiveness and contraction of boundaries). We will read from the aforementioned banned books and survey Kabbalistic and other Jewish texts that were banned in their time. The depth of our study will examine and question what we ban from our “reading lists“ either because of the ideas presented or due to our distaste or disgust of the author.

Classes are offered in-person and virtually through Zoom:

Tuesdays 12:00-1:15pm mountain time

(Class meets: Sept 19, 26, Oct 3, 10, 17, 24, 31, Nov 7, 14, and 28 )

Learn concrete Jewish spiritual tools to confront, subvert, and heal implicit and internalized racism within ourselves and others, supporting the collective organizing, advocacy, and service efforts to dismantle racism systemically.

Efforts to dismantle racism are often composed of education, advocacy, and systemic change. These efforts are not enough —it’s crucial that we also do the inner work necessary to change our habits of mind, body, and spirit to wholly dismantle racism. We have ancestral wisdom available to support this change. Mussar is the Jewish spiritual discipline designed to integrate what the head understands with what the heart feels through daily practice. Emerge from this program with a regular spiritual practice and a set of concrete tools to support your antiracism efforts.

This course was developed by Yehudah Webster and Rabbi David Jaffe of The Inside Out Wisdom and Action (IOWA) Project and the Kirva Institute, a network of activists, educators, and spiritual leaders in the Jewish community that supports activists in exploring Jewish spiritual wisdom and developing Jewish spiritual practice. Learn more about this course and their work at InsideOutWisdomAndAction.org

Classes are offered in-person and virtually through Zoom:

• Wednesdays 9:00am – 10:15am (Class meets: Sept 20, 27, Oct 4, 11, 18, Nov 15, 29, Dec 6, and 13 – No class Oct 25, Nov 1, 8, and 22)

Mussar offers a framework and a toolkit for translating the wisdom of kabbalah (specifically the sefirot of the Tree of Life) into a personalized, ongoing spiritual discipline – harnessing the midot in service of others. In this series of nine classes, Rabbi Jamie Arnold will facilitate this transformative group using two primary sources:  1) An introduction to mussar by Alan Morinis called “Everyday Holiness: The Jewish Spiritual Path of Mussar;” 2) a new book by Rabbi Toba Spitzer that explores metaphors for the Divine from nature through a mussar lens called “God is Here: Reimagining the Divine.”  The qualities we will focus on in order to grow our capacity for sacred service will be silence (sound), compassion and trust (rock).

Classes are offered in-person and virtually through Zoom:

• Wednesdays 10:30 – 11:45am
• Class meets: Sept 20, 27, Oct 4, 11, 18, Nov 15, 29, Dec 6, and 13 
• No class: Oct 25, Nov 1, 8, 22

Join us for an exploration of Mitch Albom’s books–  The Five People You’ll Meet in Heaven, The Next Person You Meet in Heaven, and Have a Little Faith-– as they relate to  Transformative Kabbalah themes and awareness practices, and our own lives.

Classes are offered in-person and virtually through Zoom:

• Thursdays 8:30-9:45am 
• Class meets: Sept 21, 28, Oct 5, 12, 26, Nov 2, 9, 16, 30, and Dec 7
• No Class Oct 19 and Nov 23

As above, so below. For centuries, mystics of all kinds have looked at the planets and constellations in the heavens as a mirror, reflecting to them an unseen reality. In this course, we will dive into the seven ancient luminaries and uncover the connections between Kabbalah and astrology, attuning ourselves to the sky above. Rooted in Sefer Yetzirah, “The Book of Formation”, this course will focus on the astrological planets and explore their hidden connections between ourselves and the world around us. Let us journey into the language of the stars so that we may reflect their light into our world.

Class is offered virtually through Zoom (no in-person option):

• Thursdays 10:00-11:15am 
• Class meets: Sept 21, 28, Oct 5, 12, 19, 26, Nov 2, 9, 16, and 30

MEZUZAH MAKING – A JEWISH STUDIO PROJECT 

The Jewish Studio Project is part of a broader movement exploring the fertile integration of Jewish learning and the ‘arts.’  Jewish study has always been a creative enterprise, but one dominated by words and the intellect at the expense of our other senses and creative faculties.  This class will engage participants in the process of creating a ritual item used to dedicate a home or sacred space, a mezuzah.  We will explore the traditional texts and symbols of a mezuzah through a variety of artistic media, from sound and music, to color and form. Together we will draw and paint, cut and paste, tap and hum, sculpt and build.

Classes are offered in-person and virtually through Zoom:

• Fridays 9:30 – 10:45am

Emerge from this program with a regular spiritual practice and a set of concrete tools to support your antiracism efforts.

This course was developed by Yehudah Webster and Rabbi David Jaffe of The Inside Out Wisdom and Action (IOWA) Project and the Kirva Institute, a network of activists, educators, and spiritual leaders in the Jewish community that supports activists in exploring Jewish spiritual wisdom and developing Jewish spiritual practice.

Classes are offered in-person and virtually through Zoom:

• Wednesdays 9:00am – 10:15am (Class meets: Sept 20, 27, Oct 4, 11, 18, Nov 15, 29, Dec 6, and 13 – No class Oct 25, Nov 1, 8, and 22)

Mussar offers a framework and a toolkit for translating the wisdom of kabbalah (specifically the sefirot of the Tree of Life) into a personalized, ongoing spiritual discipline – harnessing the midot in service of others. In this series of nine classes, Rabbi Jamie Arnold will facilitate this transformative group using two primary sources:  1) An introduction to mussar by Alan Morinis called “Everyday Holiness: The Jewish Spiritual Path of Mussar;” 2) a new book by Rabbi Toba Spitzer that explores metaphors for the Divine from nature through a mussar lens called “God is Here: Reimagining the Divine.”  The qualities we will focus on in order to grow our capacity for sacred service will be silence (sound), compassion and trust (rock).

As above, so below. For centuries, mystics of all kinds have looked at the planets and constellations in the heavens as a mirror, reflecting to them an unseen reality. In this course, we will dive into the seven ancient luminaries and uncover the connections between Kabbalah and astrology, attuning ourselves to the sky above. Rooted in Sefer Yetzirah, “The Book of Formation”, this course will focus on the astrological planets and explore their hidden connections between ourselves and the world around us. Let us journey into the language of the stars so that we may reflect their light into our world.

MEZUZAH MAKING – A JEWISH STUDIO PROJECT 

The Jewish Studio Project is part of a broader movement exploring the fertile integration of Jewish learning and the ‘arts.’  Jewish study has always been a creative enterprise, but one dominated by words and the intellect at the expense of our other senses and creative faculties.  This class will engage participants in the process of creating a ritual item used to dedicate a home or sacred space, a mezuzah.  We will explore the traditional texts and symbols of a mezuzah through a variety of artistic media, from sound and music, to color and form. Together we will draw and paint, cut and paste, tap and hum, sculpt and build.

Classes are offered in-person and virtually through Zoom:

• Fridays 9:30 – 10:45am 
• Class meets: Sept 22, 29, Oct 6, 13, 20, Nov 17, Dec 1, 8, and 15 – No class Oct 27, Nov 3, 10, and 24

The study of Kabbalah enables us to discover what is hidden from our perception in plain sight. In this introduction to the basic teachings of the Kabbalah you learn to see beyond habituated and constricted thinking and become open to experiencing the connectivity of all of created reality—what is known in physics as Quantum Entanglement, in Depth Psychology as Synchronicity and in Kabbalah as Soul Connections.

Classes are offered in-person and virtually through Zoom:

• Class meets: Sept 18, Oct 2, 9, 16, 23, 30, Nov 6, 13, 27, and Dec 4 – No Class Sept 25, Nov 20)

A key to consciousness in Kabbalah is the Tree of Life, a visual map of how infinite and finite flow into and from each other. We enter places, form relationships and pursue projects often with little understanding of how they come about, their meaning and the relevance of seeing beyond what manifests. In this introduction to the Tree of Life we learn about and then practice incorporating this system of energy flow in all our interactions.

This course will be an act of defiance and an inquiry into the balance between what we “let in and keep out” (the expansiveness and contraction of boundaries). We will read from the aforementioned banned books and survey Kabbalistic and other Jewish texts that were banned in their time. The depth of our study will examine and question what we ban from our “reading lists“ either because of the ideas presented or due to our distaste or disgust of the author.

Learn concrete Jewish spiritual tools to confront, subvert, and heal implicit and internalized racism within ourselves and others, supporting the collective organizing, advocacy, and service efforts to dismantle racism systemically.

Efforts to dismantle racism are often composed of education, advocacy, and systemic change. These efforts are not enough —it’s crucial that we also do the inner work necessary to change our habits of mind, body, and spirit to wholly dismantle racism. We have ancestral wisdom available to support this change. Mussar is the Jewish spiritual discipline designed to integrate what the head understands with what the heart feels through daily practice.
