Discover your true earth based Jewish purpose
Discover Your True Earth Based Jewish Purpose
We will begin the first cohort of this free, bi-weekly, online course in Fall 2024.
This is a year long exploration following the Jewish calendar and earth based Jewish practices so you can discover your unique purpose on this earth and how to embody it for a given community.
purpose in community
The world needs more initiated or psychospiritual adults, and the Jewish world needs more adults grounded in our tradition. Psychospiritual adults are people who know their true purpose in life and have found a way to express that purpose in the context of a community.
three pilgrimage holidays
“Your Earth Based Jewish Purpose” is my attempt to create a path of practice to become an earth based Jewish spiritual adult. This path overlays Bill Plotkin’s general theory of becoming a spiritual adult with Jewish cultural context, including Jewish ancestors, prayers, myths and practices. It is organized by the rhythm of the three pilgrimage holidays of Sukkot, Pesach and Shavuot. These holidays are the defining rhythm of our earth based Jewish calendar.
a path to walk
We do not have any clear or obvious Jewish maps from any of our ancestral sources, but I think we have pieces that we can apply to create a possible path to walk.
Here’s what you will get, once the program launches:
Bi weekly presentations that integrate Plotkin’s Journey to Soul initiation with a rhythm of leaving home (Sukkot to Pesach), Liberation (Pesach to Shavuot), Revelation (Shavuot) and then returning home (Shavuot to Sukkot).
Questions, practices, and readings that will give you a path to walk to discover your true purpose and become a psychospiritual adult.
Finding like minded people. If you are both a committed Jew in some sense, and committed to an earth based spirituality, you probably have struggled with how to integrate those two commitments. This is a home for you to study with other people walking similar paths.
