MIRIAM AND GERSHON TO TEACH WEEKLONG RETREAT IN YELAPA, MEXICO...

March 1-8, 2009

"Wheel of the Four Winds"
An Introduction to Jewish Shamanism
and "Purim: Ancient Lessons About Existence
and What You Can't Do About It"

Cost: $1425

Includes tuition, 2 meals a day, ferry, and lodging (one night in Puerto Vallarta, six nights in Yelapa (limited premium rooms available for additional cost; limited discounted rooms available as well - i.e., non-private bathroom two flights up). Airfare not included.

A Weeklong Retreat of Kabbalistic Wisdom for Biding Your Time on Earth

A rousing experience of learning, contemplation, and laughter.

Join us for this wild ride of ancient chants, empowering experientials, deep-belly humor, and lesser-known teachings of Jewish mystery wisdom covering a broad spectrum of themes from ancient Jewish teachings and practices around the Wheel of the Four Winds to the mystery of Purim.

Aboriginal in nature, and pragmatic in content, these teachings introduce us to a whole other dimension of Judaism that is largely unknown to contemporary mainstream Jewish tradition.

Drawing from ancient and early-medieval Hebraic and Aramaic sources, Gershon and Miriam will both humor us and deepen us with illuminating tales, shamanic journeys, spirited chants, entrancing movement and breathtaking teachings.

Together, we will explore classical Jewish teachings about the animals, colors, powers, spirits, elements and attributes of the four directions, and how to incorporate them into the varying situations of our personal life journey.

Drawing not from contemporary "progressive" theology but rather from ancient "primitive" theology, these two daring mavericks of Judaica will introduce us to whole new horizons of understanding about Judaism as a "Flexidoxic", earth-conscious and thoroughly Shamanic spirit path. Purim, we will discover, is a festival during which we are challenged to integrate all opposites, all paradoxes and contradictions, into the one root they all share; into the single wheel of the four opposite directions.

To register for this awesome event, contact Tammy Lianu at
tlianu@mac.com, or call her at 206-235-8849.
