In this opening module, Rabbi Tirzah will set the stage for the work of this course by establishing the premises that ancestral healers everywhere share. She’ll define fundamental terms, such as Kabbalah, Self, Entelechy, the Soul’s Code, and Tikkun (our sacred purpose)… and you’ll look at the global issues of our times.

Rabbi Tirzah will clarify the principles of the Masculine and Feminine… and how they exist as energies we all hold — independent of our gender. She’ll also connect the personal, familial, and cultural aspects of trauma.

You’ll examine the original myth of the Garden of Eden, and the narratives we’ve built around that story — which, like a collective dream, still impact our worldview, sense of self, and moral code. Rabbi Tirzah will shed light on Eve’s “sin,” Lilith’s flight, and curses women carry in their “pain body.”

During this first session, you’ll:

• Participate in a chant to help you silence your mind and hear “God’s breath”
• Be introduced to the Bat Kol, the ancient voice of wisdom, which the ancient sages taught, as you learn to attune yourself to Her voice
• Continue to clear your central axis by opening the 5 Domes or Gates at the core of your body
• Begin to understand how every trauma you’ve ever experienced or witnessed is embedded in a larger context of family, bloodline, and culture… and that healing at any level liberates all levels
• View the Garden of Eden story in a new light
• Be guided through deepening practices

In this session, Rabbi Tirzah will illuminate three circuits of energy that exist in our energy systems — the internal Tree of Life, our fire, associated with passion (ש Shin)… our water, associated with compassion (מ Mem)… our air, associated with our connection to Oneness (א Aleph) — all of which correspond to the three pillars of the Tree.

You’ll explore the difference between systems of domination (power over) and systems of partnership (power with.) You’ll begin drawing your Genogram — your multi-generational family tree — to help you understand the power differentials and themes of dominance, submission, harmonious partnership, and compassion in your own family.

Rabbi Tirzah will share how natural it is to internalize the prevailing belief system of dominance as it shows up in the objectification of yourself and others, disconnection from yourself and others… and how easy it is to fall into shame and submission.

In this eye-opening session, you’ll:

• Learn to engage the 3 circuits of your internal energy and experience their synergy
• Experience the mutually beneficial interaction and cooperation of fire, water, and air
• Explore the ancient mystic teachings about an etheric body called the Radiant Cloak — a sheath of light made of prayers, efforts, and deeds
• Invoke the wise and well ancestors and spiritual allies to guide you as you do the alchemical work of transmuting your errors into open-hearted wisdom
• Gain insight into how oppression can be internalized… and the subtle influences that prevailing cultural belief systems have over us… promoting feelings of shame, unworthiness, and disconnection from Self

In this ritual lab, you’ll build a potent foundation of connection with the well and wise spiritual allies and ancestors, and anchor in these beneficial relationships deeply before moving forward into your trauma history.

Rabbi Tirzah will guide you on a journey into the ancestral realm to invoke your wise and well ancestors and spiritual allies. Honoring them, you’ll invite their wisdom in clearing the way to the health of your soul and your family.

This module will take you deeper into the concept of shame — what it is and how we’ve (especially those of us who identify as women) learned to internalize the constructs of domination.

You’ll focus on ways you personally assimilate the cultural complexity of domination… incorporate it as an identity… and identify with or see yourself through the eyes of the dominant masculine model — objectifying, comparing, and disconnecting from yourself.

You’ll also invite and receive from the deep unconscious alternate visions of yourself so you can experience what it feels like to be free of the onus of shame. You’ll claim your birthright of radiance and power, which will help you fulfill theTikkun that’s yours to do.

In addition, you’ll:

• Re-establish your open axis and energize your fire and water circuits
• Discover what the Father Letters are and how you can enlist them to protect, heal, and envision new possibilities
• Learn about the power of the Amulet/Kameya and how the names of God act as a force field to energize the soul and your connection to divinity
• Experience the protection of the Father Letters by placing your entire body within their healing orb — creating a virtual Kameya

Continuing your exploration of the internalization of patriarchal values and the inherent disconnection and dissociation it causes, you’ll study the Four Hallmarks of Trauma…

… looking at addiction as a symptom of the self-disconnection that results from trauma. You’ll examine the state of hyper-arousal and the cortisol production that happens in that state.

You’ll draw on Kabbalistic teachings about the Feminine, known as Shechinah, who lives right here in the glorious messy multiplicity of our world. Rabbi Tirzah will share the tale of the Lost Princess and the meaning of the Mystical Marriage — the union that takes place when we let go on Sabbath (or Shabbat).

You’ll also study your Genogram for the presence of the gracious Divine Feminine, even as she appears in the midst of heartbreak, suffering, sympathy, and compassion.

During this module, you’ll:

• Learn who the Anima Mundi is and how the ancient Kabbalists experienced Her
• Refresh your understanding of the 4 Hallmarks of Trauma
• Explore womb-like compassion
• Come to understand the Mystical Marriage, and how the Kabbalists ritualized this balance of Masculine and Feminine in the Sabbath

In this ritual lab, you’ll partner with your wise and well ancestors and lineage guardians to help heal the abuses of patriarchal patterns. You’ll invoke the Source of Rachamim (womb-like compassion) and place yourself in the Divine Feminine Presence.

You’ll prepare the bundle of your shame and brokenness to offer on the altar of the ancestral temple. With the assistance of the Source of Compassion, you’ll call upon the Mother Letter of מ Mem, the “liquid heart of the world”… known as the Anima Mundi or Shechinah. You’ll also invite Lilith in as an Elder Grandmother — who comes to empower you to tear out the pathogenic poison root of patriarchal values.

And, you’ll receive a segulah, a talisman treasure to place on your heart, to help you as you continue the work ahead.

In this triad, you’ll widen the lens to explore how the patriarchal belief system and values have impacted our world. You’ll look at the current crises we’re facing in historical context, and study the path of the Tzaddik, the righteous, whole person — also known in the Buddhist tradition as the Bodhisattva.

You’ll study a central Hassidic concept — Yerida l’tzorech Aliya, descent (into the messiness of life) — which belongs to the Tzaddik and anyone who’s committed to be in the world to elevate it for the sake of ascent. This includes your own spiritual ascent as well as the commitment to elevate others, and creation itself.

Tapping into your personal heartbreak, you’ll invite and receive from the deep unconscious an image, form, or other embodiment or portrayal of an aspect of the power complex — which dominates our world — that touches you personally.

Placing it in the forcefield of the elders of your lineage, you’ll ask them about your personal connection to the bundle… and what action is yours to take.

In this session, you’ll discover:

• The effects of patriarchal values on women worldwide… as well as on children, men, the environment, the ecosystem, and the most vulnerable among us
• The tenets of the Tzaddik or Bodhisattva
• What the phrase Descent for the sake of Ascent, from Kabbalah, means
• The story of the initiation of the prophet Isaiah (800 BCE), as well as the mantra used in prayer for sacred deployment
• Your personal connection to the power complex that affects you the most… you’ll form a bundle from the image that’s presented to you

As we approach the end of the Gregorian year, you’ll look back at the salient events of 2021 through the lens of power over and power with… to assist you in harvesting the spiritual lessons of the year. You’ll then turn to the year ahead to begin to build a vessel that can withstand and alchemize the predictable challenges ahead.

Through presencing and guided visualization, you’ll envision yourself in your radiance and soul’s power — interacting more harmoniously in your relationships with others… and acting with more agency in balancing your passion and compassion, your Masculine and Feminine sides, and your shadowy and light sides.

To bring this home, you’ll engage in a fun role-play activity with difficult characters in your life, to rehearse rebalancing power in these relationships.

You’ll:

• Engage in a year review and glean spiritual lessons from 2021
• Begin to shape 2022 with the power of your intention and by creating in the imaginal realm an alchemical vessel that can contain the challenges of the world at this time
• Learn new approaches and tools to rebalance the power in your important relationships
• Practice an ancient mantra to release karmic patterns and untie knots produced from the abuses and misuses of power
• Ask your wise and well ancestors for guidance during the transition from dark into light

In this closing module, you’ll receive guidance from your wise and well ancestors and spiritual allies. Ritually honoring and thanking them, you’ll ask for their protection and assistance as you go into the deepest realm of the year.

You’ll be guided to see yourself on your deathbed in the ripeness of your life… wrapped in the Radiant Cloak of your lifetime of good deeds and sincere efforts, reciting your final prayers.

In this visualization, you’ll return to the fabric of your original neshama. You’ll see how your soul looked before you incarnated. You’ll see your own self as a Tzaddik or Bodhisattva who’s always been committed to healing and love.

You’ll see yourself having fulfilled your tasks, your sacred purposes or Tikkunim for which you came into the world. As a wise and well ancestor yourself, you’ll prepare to take your leave of the world and continue the work of balancing Masculine and Feminine energies… healing the traumas that result from patriarchal imbalances… being a servant of the Tzorach Gavoha — the divine dream of planetary harmony and wholeness.

Finally you’ll come together with your co-participants to say your goodbyes, offer your appreciations, and wish one another blessings for the Solstice.

The Spiral Path — Unifying Masculine & Feminine
3-Part Video Teaching From Rabbi David Ingber

In this three-part video teaching from Rabbi David Ingber, you’ll explore how many mystical lineages and the sacred union of masculine and feminine are at the very heart of reality — and learn specific practices and a sacred language to embolden your path to wholeness. Kabbalah, and its archetypal images and stories, builds upon the core notion of opposing energies and wholeness, creating something akin to Western Tantra. The very fabric of reality will be revealed to you by the higher union of masculine and feminine in a dance of polarities rather than the war of opposites.
