Embark on this potent journey of awakening to discover and heal the ancient Tree of Life within you — and your own ancestral family tree. Recognize that we are all the Tree of Life.

After receiving an overview of the remarkable histories of the Tree of Life and the Kabbal system, explore the numinous spheres (sephirah) and focus on the one called Keter, the crown of the tree which touches the cosmic impulse that called you into being.

Using the Tarot’s powerful archetypal image of judgment, identify what blocks your faith, reconnect to your Roots in Heaven, and hear the call of your higher self to open your portals in the invisible dimensions.

There, meet your heavenly cosmic self, discover the healing powers of your own soul, and gain understanding of your life’s purpose.

In this module, you’ll:

• Learn the meaning of Kabbalah, the origins of the Tree of Life, and its central archetype and template for wholeness
• Understand the Kabbalah’s Four-World system of reality and how it’s reflected in the Tarot
• See how your family tree maps onto the archetypal Tree of Life
• Be guided into the Imaginal Realm and open the gates to the ancestral abode to perceive the unseen dimension and the healing it holds for you

What are the life-giving roots in your family tree, and where are the ones that are poisonous?

As you examine the roots of your personal and humanly flawed family tree, understand that every family tree has some poison and a pain body that can affect our life force and become pathogenic. Dig down to discover the dangerous root that can keep you unwell.

Travel down the trunk of the tree’s central pillar to another set of roots, deep in Mother Earth.

Discover fundamental and indispensable features of your ancestral roots as you study the Kabbalah’s vision of the Divine Feminine — called Shechinah — residing in the very ground of your being.

Draw upon the Tarot’s wisdom from The World, The Moon, and The Star cards, as you delve into the life-giving roots of your ancestors to find the healing properties of your family’s original place.

In this module, you’ll:

• Grasp the dynamic quality of the Tree of Life’s three pillars
• Learn why the central pillar repeatedly calls you to become a channel for healing
• Experience a guided visualization to discover your own family tree, what at its root needs work, and what is medicinal and to be harvested
• Understand the Kabbalists’ portrayal of Shechinah and the gravitational pull of the Divine Feminine in our era
• Discover the life-giving roots of your own ancestral lineage, as well as the poison root beneath the family tree

Having visited both the heavenly and earthly root systems that feed the Tree of Life, begin your study of its 10 spheres ( Sephirot ) as portals of divine energy — a dynamic chakra system that works in threes for balance and equilibrium.

The first system at the ground level is the Triangle of Manifestation (Netzach-Hod-Yesod), which governs your ability to channel your vision and enthusiasm into actual material form.

Explore your personal vision — the dream that deeply inspires you — and see how you’re going to bring it into being. Discover what’s stopping you from being a prophet, walking your talk, and acting as a powerful agent of change and blessing.

Examine the patterns in manifestation in your ancestral roots, which can give you messages of inspiration or limitations.

Here the Tarot’s Magician, High Priestess, and Chariot are all instrumental. Draw upon their powers as you visit the ancestral realm to examine family patterns of prosperity, limitation, and manifestation that may have landed in you.

In this module, you’ll:

• Understand the Tree of Life as a dialectical chakra system that can help us balance and heal our energies
• Be guided in a journey to reveal your own family scripts and legacies that have been handed down to you about your limitations and skills of manifestation
• Grasp the relationship between the Triangle of Manifestation and the Divine Feminine
• Study your family tree for its relationship to the material world, your ability to create, and your capacity for resilience
• Learn from the Tarot’s archetypes of the High Priestess and Magician for insights into personal power

Move up the Tree to the locus of the heart and delve into skillful use of your personal energies and the ecosystem to keep you balanced and healthy.

With the help of the Tarot’s archetypes of Sun, Death, and Temperance, learn about the dialectics of love through the Triangle of Relationship (Chesed-Gevurah-Tiferet).

Explore ways to bring your heart into its most skillful settings so you might give and receive in equal measure, maintain wise boundaries, find your sovereignty, and be attuned to the love that awaits you.

With the help of The Lovers archetype, explore your ancestral beliefs, behaviors, and byproducts regarding all matters of relationship. In the ancestral realm, find the wisdom you need to hear.

In this module, you’ll:

• Learn the Kabbalah’s view of the heart and the connection between truth and beauty
• Journey into the ancestral realms for reflections and wisdom about your legacies around love
• Study your own ecosystem and how your internal feedback guards your precious energies
• Explore your family tree for balanced loving relationships and areas of ill health that left intergenerational imprints
• Learn where you allow love, where you cut it off, and how to be yourself while also being a lover — being generous yet having enough for yourself
• Experience tools for freeing yourself from old negative ancestral legacies and restrictions around love, and opening to new possibilities

Arrive at the transpersonal facets of the Tree, the highest triangle, where you’ll touch the divine imagination in the form of the Triangle of Illumination (Chochmah-Binah-Daat) to uplevel your whole system.

Explore ways to navigate the wheel of karma, as in the Tarot’s Wheel of Fortune, enabling you to more freely create your own destiny. Engage the elders of your bloodline to assist you, and inquire about the supreme directives of your lineages.

Look at ways to bring Spirit more actively into your life and heal yourself from the top down.

Touch the Axis Mundi or World Tree — the vertical center of Mother Earth that binds her and all of her creatures to the sacred realm.

Receive instructions for a ritual in nature to bring blessings from the archetypal tree back to our ailing earth.

In this module, you’ll:

• Recognize how the mythical World Tree shows up in folktales and art around the world
• Journey to contact the guardians of your lineage, receive their healing talisman to help uplevel your whole frequency, and feel a big injection of spiritual nutrients
• Learn to open the crown chakra, connecting you to the Divine to receive creative seeds
• Study the powerful Sephirot that bring you into contact with the divine imagination and the imaginal realm that shapes reality
• Clarify your deepest prayer and prepare for your personal earth ritual

The two final modules of this course will be ritual practicums.

Beneath the surface of the earth, no tree stands alone. Their root systems are interwoven, communicating with and assisting each other for miles on end.

Join together as trees do in a forest, connecting to and uplifting one another in a powerful guided ritual. As agents of blessings and transformation, learn to sweeten the poison roots that are corrosive to your ancestral tree.

Drawing from a key principle of Kabbalistic sacred practice — that harsh legacies must be sweetened with understanding and compassion at their very root — and enter the imaginal realm…

… to enlist potent archetypal forces you’ll have stirred throughout the course, to help you heal and transform the future of your lineage.

In this practicum module, you’ll:

• Understand the Kabbalistic healing practice of sweetening harshness at its root
• Be guided in a deep meditation and journaling exercise
• Become aware of the power of your own focus, love, and compassion as an agent of transformation
• Experience the uplifting camaraderie of our global ancestral healing network

You’ll close this course with spiritual leader Malidome Some’s encouragement to become an “Ancestor in Training” — preparing now for the next dimension where we can be of maximal service to your living relatives… to help them flourish and thrive.

Prepare now for the next dimension where you can be of maximum service to your living relatives, becoming an ancestor in training.

Partake in a joyous solstice ritual and stand at the cusp of the new year, greet the returning light, and lay down the psychic tracks to your greater potential…

… as an ancestral healer, global citizen, conduit for Or Ein Sof — “the limitless divine light” — and bringer of healing to the embodied earth plane.

And learn the true meaning of the solstice. For this celebratory graduation, bring your art, song, or poetry to share with your co-participants.

• Witness each other’s earth rituals through art, photography, song, or poetry

• Learn about disembodied entities, or dybbuks — malevolent wandering spirits that enter and possess the body of a living person until exorcized — and why they attach to us
• Practice an ancient mystical Hebrew mantra to balance and empower you in trying times

Reclaiming Sacred Wisdom: Restoring Our Ancestral Inheritance
Video Dialogue With Rabbi Dr. Tirzah Firestone and Neil Douglas-Klotz

How can we reclaim ancient wisdom and realign with the sacred power that has always been our birthright? In this compelling conversation between longtime friends and scholars of Judeo-Christian ancestral texts, Tirzah Firestone and Neil Douglas-Klotz explore the world of our ancestors and the mythic imagination that shaped Western civilization. They reveal how things went awry, as political forces distorted sacred teachings to serve the powerful, robbing the common people of their rightful spiritual inheritance. Together, they guide us toward rediscovering these lost treasures and help us reclaim the deep ancestral wisdom that still calls to us today.

Immerse yourself in the introduction of Rabbi Tirzah Firestone’s powerful book, Wounds into Wisdom. While the enduring impact of individual trauma is widely acknowledged, Rabbi Tirzah encourages us to explore the consequences of extreme trauma on entire ethnic groups. Drawing from research in neuroscience and clinical psychology, she reveals how the trauma of persecution leaves lasting imprints on the minds and bodies of future generations. This excerpt offers a compelling roadmap for Jews — and all individuals and communities with traumatic histories — to reclaim their power and transform their lives.

In this compelling video from the Shift Network’s Mystics Summit, Rebeccah L. Bennett , founder of the InPower Institute, explores how “the healed future” intertwines the sacred and secular for African diaspora public mystics, who partner with the Divine to transform the present and sow healed futures for us all. For these mystics, spiritual development isn’t born in tranquil retreats but in the fierce urgency of life’s frontlines, where miracles, madness, magic, and mess converge. Societal fires and oppressions don’t just destroy; they burn away illusions and ignite something sovereign within us. This unconquerable power is the creative life force that brings us into right relationship with ourselves. By recognizing our own inner power, we can awaken the capacity to see it in others, transforming how we engage with life.
