Chodesh Sivan Tov!

Shavuot is the moment we stood together at Sinai trembling, opened ready to receive. Last night, we primed the hear with Kohenet ‘s virtual song ceremony: Open to Receive

Today, we offer you this playlist as an opportunity to prepare the body. The Ba’al Shem Tov taught that joy is a pathway to dvekut, to cleaving to the divine. He saw the ecstatic movement of simple Jews as holy prayer. As the body’s uninhibited surrender a form of worship no less sacred than Torah study.

This ~45 minute soundtrack was curated to follow the flow of a a traditional ecstatic dance experience, infused with the energy of Shavuot— to arrive, open as you ascend, receive at the peak, descend, gather as you land, and return. We invite you to give yourself to this experience, to become simple and watch what happens.

A longtime student of contemplative, embodied Jewish practice, he teaches Jewish wisdom and practice as a path of direct experience and spiritual connection, independently and in collaboration with various organizations. Alongside his rabbinic work, Ami maintains a private therapy practice where he supports people through mindfulness-based, somatic and experiential therapy approaches. He has been at the forefront of psychedelic-assisted therapeutic work in Israel, working as part of the clinical team at treatment centers and on clinical research trials.

“The Jewish spiritual tradition has known for centuries that the descent is the ascent”

Join rabbi and psychotherapist Ami Silver for a four-part course offering ancient tools for navigating the contemporary landscape of psychedelic and non-ordinary states.

Each session will introduce a unique spiritual ‘technology’, offering both teachings and opportunities to practice in real time. Together, the cohort will explore the traditional practices of drawing support from ancestors, masters, and the natural world, revelation through embodiment, anchoring through Divine Names, and orienting through the breath.

By making these traditions accessible, embodied, and directly applicable to the modern psychedelic experience, students will be empowered to stay present through unfolding terrains, receive what arises as teaching, find anchoring in movements of dissolution and rebirth.

Session time: 8pm Israel / 1pm EST / 10am Pacific
Monday May 4, May 11, May 18 and May 26
All sessions are 90 minutes and will be recorded for course participants
