Kabbalah of the Feminine (Women Only)

Kabbalah teaches us that it will be the women or the feminine principle that will lead the way for the redemption of the world, in much the same way that the women did in ancient time. We as women need to relearn what is meant by the Feminine as it has been so devalued throughout time. Kabbalah offers a very important perspective about the nature of the feminine that will be transformational and empowering.

The goal of this workshop is to celebrate the unique gifts women bring into the world. Be inspired by the particular mitzvot we have been given. On the outside, it may appear that Judaism is patriachal, but on the inside of the inside, Judaism is all about the Divine Feminine. Be guided to embrace the feminine, become schooled in the art of attraction, receptivity, spiritual yearning and devotion. Be empowered by following the footsteps of Biblical women who demonstrated the power of the Feminine. Biblical women has an important message for women today. that will transmitted during this workshop.

As women, we will not do our part by imitating the masculine, but by honoring and embracing our wisdom as women. There is a depth of learning and conversation possible between women, when there are no men in the room. Through kabbalistic meditation, learning, dyad and group processes, and simply by being in our sacred circle as women, we will open more fully to who we are as women, we will share together, and we will dance.

" I found myself feeling a deep sense of relaxation and a peace in my heart through listening to her words of wisdom; words that felt both ancient and true to me. I feel inspired and excited to practice what I learned." Julie ( Tucson, Arizona)

Enjoying the Dance of Polarity, Heightening Love, Passion and Yearning in Intimate relationships : Workshops for singles and couples in the Kabbalah of the Masculine and Feminine

Miriam Shulamit has developed a unique program to restore and heighten the love and passion for people in couples as well as assist single people in attracting their soul mate by increasing the polarity of the masculine and feminine. The teachings of kabbalah on the nature of masculine and feminine, along with meditation and dyad exercises to integrate this wisdom will help you to be more fully who you are as well as add joy and passion to your intimate relationships, whether you are married or single.

The attraction of the masculine and feminine is rooted in understanding the Divine blueprint of creation. It is the God within us that seeks unification through us. The deepest teachings on this subject in kabbalah can be reduced to light (masculine) and vessel (feminine). Both are necessary and equivalent to each other.

Though we each contain a masculine and feminine essence within us, the dance of the polarity between the two is enhanced when we not only understand what is masculine and what is feminine according to kabbalah but we can embody these energies in our relationships. Enjoying the dance of these energies in our primary relationships enables us to access the deepest core of our being and life itself.

" Miriam carries a great deal of knowledge about Jewish teachings on the masculine and feminine. The all too brief workshop I attended gave me a glimpse of the ancient wisdom of these teachings and, with it, a taste of the ease one might carry into intimate relationship and more fundamentally , within oneself." Roy Martin Tucson

Jewish Meditation

Guided meditative experiences using breathing, visualization, mantra, and Jewish and kabbalistic learning to loosen a person's identification with the ego-mind with all its judgments, fears, doubts and limiting ideas so identification is made with the pure soul within. A person is guided to be attentive to the needs of this soul and is guided to experience the Shechinah directly within the body as well as strengthen the awareness and relationship with the Holy One through a variety of meditative and prayer techniques.

It is the experience of both the immanence and transcendence of the Divine that heals, liberates, and transforms a person, making meditation a most powerful tool for personal healing of the practitioner; physically, emotionally and spiritually. The healing effects of meditation spill over to intimate relationship and to the world at large as well.

Jewish meditation is an ancient tradition. Many Jewish sages claim to have reached great spiritual heights through meditation. Meditation illuminates Jewish thought, inspires Jewish practice and elevates Jewish prayer.

"Miriam has the unique capability of inspiring and imparting deep teachings to a broad spectrum of people ranging from Orthodox to the non-affiliated. She communicates from the deepest of all places from that sacred place inside where she sees, sits and stands and listens in the presence of God." Debra S.
