The 49-day Omer journey is one of the most powerful processes I have ever engaged. It is spiritual, metaphysical, earth-centered and embodied all at once. It is a connection between divinity and earth.

As we conclude our Second Night Seder we begin this count of the 49 days between Passover and Shavuot. Once agricultural, the mystics evolved it into a spiritual journey to cultivate greater internal divinity, preparing us first to meet the Infinite One at Mt. Sinai, then fueling us for the work beyond. This year we need this journey more than ever.

The mystics engaged the Sefirot – Emanations – with which the universe and we are composed. Each represents and holds Divine qualities. Hesed, for example, is lovingkindness, compassion and grace. Hesed begins Week One of our Omer process.

Your Omer Journey 5785 is a virtual course to guide us as we walk this path. Through seven gatherings we will deeply explore the sefirah of the week, delving into its mystical and practical applications, preparing us for the energetic opportunities available to us. It will be accompanied by a written guide including embodied, earth-centered, teachings for each day’s practice. It is a remarkable journey. I look forward to sharing it with you.

Sundays, April 20, 27, May 4, 11, 18, 25
