Introduction to Kabbalah

Kabbalah is a profound system of esoteric Jewish and Hermetic spiritual knowledge and training. It is said to be the most ancient wisdom given by God to man as a vehicle to attain mystical insight and luminous understanding. Once restricted to secret societies and initiates of the Rabbinic schools of Kabbalah and Western mystery schools, it is now available to all those who seek to journey on a higher path. In this intensive, 14 week program we will study both the theory of Kabbalah and its meditative practices.
