“This activity provides religious counseling with a leader in the emerging field of psychedelic chaplaincy for people who cannot find pastoral care otherwise. Torah classes are monthly teaching/learning sessions facilitated by guest teachers online on topics related to consciousness and healing within the Jewish mystical traditions. Longer series are planned for every quarter. This offering gives insight and support through learning our sacred texts. Our resources are printed and digital holiday companions bridging and exploring Jewish themes about consciousness. Music, articles, essays, books, and journals to be compiled, written, published on our website, and available for purchase. We are creating religious texts for Jewish people who wish to know more about their mystical traditions. Lastly, our in person events are quarterly presentations, talks, panels, and workshops about our work of Jewish-informed psychedelic support. They are mainly presented with program partners. These events will happen primarily in the Bay Area, Los Angeles and New York. We bring together Jewish people in the community to deepen their connection to their traditions and religious practices.”
