Explore Hebrew Shamanism
Connect with the spiritual roots of the Ancient Hebrews; the foundation from which Judaism, Christianity and Islam emerged.
While the ancient Hebrews birthed three major world religions, their earth-based, mystical roots have long been forgotten.
There have been four Apprenticeship Cycles; two are currently open for self-paced study. The other two are in the process of being converted into such formats.
The Virtual Apprenticeship Cycle content changes each year. Those who enroll in the active cycle year often receive the deepest initiatory experiences, as they explore the content while held in a deep reciprocal community. Below you can find info on past offerings, the last two of which are currently available for enrollment as self-paced courses.

Wisdom Keepers Cycle
This 10-part, pre-recorded series flows around Galgal haChozer, the Hebrew Medicine Wheel, developing power-enhancing relationships with its Ancestors, Power Animals and Gatekeepers of the three worlds.
The content is built around a medicine wheel of five powerful beings, the Goddess and four indigenous Hebrew leaders who practiced a comprehensive toolkit of shamanic skills. These ancestors have been transmitting the curriculum through shamanic tools, and will serve as the spiritual teachers of the course.
The Hebrew Goddess Astarte will influence and guide the course of our work together. The act of engaging Goddess in our path of spiritual growth and healing is also an act of reclaiming those parts of ourselves that have been judged to be of less value. The practice of Hebrew Shamanism is one of reclaiming the treasure that has been cast aside, and uplifting ourselves in the process.

8 Faces of the Hebrew Goddess
This Apprenticeship Cycle is built around a Medicine Wheel of four primary Hebrew Goddesses, each of whom has distinct archetypal aspects that are personified through lenses of light and dark, who, as two polarities of the same divine ray, together constitute a united whole (seen in each color-blocked direction of the Wheel). Though we will explore 8 unique faces of the divine mother, ultimately She tells us, "the Goddess is the Goddess is the Goddess." Each and all of the faces of the Goddess reveal one unified divine field at their heart of hearts.
We are taught by these Goddesses to release our limitations, pick up the tools of the open-hearted warrior and embrace our power. The Goddess is the next disruptive technology. As the Hebrew Bible sings, "She is the Tree of LIfe to those that hold fast to her, and all her supporters are happy (Meushar is the passive form of the word for happiness, Osher, which is embodied by the joyful divine feminine Asherah). of those who have dialed in since they entered, and the Goddesses are ready to do the same for you. Will you answer their call?

God/dess Sefirot
The focus of our most recent God/dess Cycle was encountering and restoring the Body of the God/dess, defined as the transcendent Divine with its feminine and masculine forms.
We journeyed into the nine “Goddess Sefirot” to better understand the aspects of divinity that reside within the body of the God/dess, which is the temple of your body. We encountered and worked to whole our divine selves through immersive mystical work, using the modalities of shamanic journeying and guided meditation.
The Goddess Sefirot are the emanations of the three Mother Letters in our Three Wombs: Head, Heart and Belly.
Each of the Mother Letters' wombs in the human body has three portals, which can be described as two binary aspects and a transcendent state. The two binary aspects may be encountered in many ways. In our class, we will explore the feminine and masculine forms. We will find our sovereign selves in each womb: Goddess and God. Each womb can also be encountered in its whole, transcendent state that is non-binary and unitive.
The transcendent state both encompasses and surpasses the other two aspects. We will meet and heal each of our binary aspects of
the Divine, male and female, within each womb, and then transcend those binaries as we encounter the whole aspect of each Mother Letter. These 3 portals within each of the 3 wombs will, in turn, reveal aspects of our own divinity.
The nine Goddess Sefirot have correlations to the traditional sefirot that have been studied for centuries, and yet they are distinct. In encountering the Goddess Sefirot directly, we are sidestepping the path of the traditional Sefirot. Those who have knowledge of the traditional Sefirot (not required for this course) may find their understanding enhanced.
The pre-recorded apprenticeship cycle will include eight 90-minute class sessions, lifetime access to class replays, and reading/viewing materials to connect you with the content. This series will be available for purchase here once it has been edited. Sign up for our mailing list below to be notified of new releases.
