Kabbalah as a Spiritual Practice August 11, 2008

Explore some of the basic Kabbalistic practices and tools for awakening and living a conscious, mindful existence.

Participants will be guided through practices that take one from emptying the mind of thought to filling the mind with elevated thoughts; from immersing in silence to opening oneself up in song; and from inward-directed meditation to outward-directed prayer.

We will draw upon readings from the Zohar, the School of Nachmanides, R. Avraham Abulafiah, R. Issac Luria, the Baal Shem Tov, the Magid and the Peasetzner Rebbe. Hebrew is not required; texts will be read and translated.
