Ongoing Group

Yoga, Shamanism and Kabbalah

Open Weekly Group
Wednesdays, 7:30 –9 PM
222 Birchwood Ave., Nyack
$15/session

Two primary lines of spiritual exploration dating back to the earliest times of humanity, are shamanism and yoga. Some would say that they underlie the experiential basis of all the world's religious traditions. Both provide methods for freeing ourselves from the limited perceptions of conditioned mind and relating more consciously to all aspects of life. Through both, we may directly access aspects of the Divine energies (prana, chi, Light) that exist throughout our nature and the world.

In this group we will employ the tools of shamanism and yoga to explore the Tree of Life of the Jewish mystical tradition; Kabbalah. The Kabbalah encodes teachings for deep spiritual awakening and practical guidance for living a life with wisdom and healing intention. While often taught as a complex intellectual or metaphysical theory, we will focus on a very experiential approach that brings awareness to the full body and mind.

In our time together, we will study some history and theory of the shamanic journey and the deep meditation practices of Agni (light-fire) Yoga. We will explore how these can open us to the light and teachings of the Tree of Life. Those who attend will be supported and encouraged in making these teachings a powerful daily practice bringing strength and clarity to their lives.
