Who is the hebrew goddess?

SHE IS A TREE OF LIFE

In this online class we’ll learn that the Hebraic ancestors of modern Judaism were deeply connected to the Goddess Asherah and had a strong relationship to the Divine Feminine. This Great Creatrix was often represented by trees or carved wooden poles. The tree as a portal to divine connection is at the root of our tradition. 

In this class we will learn who she was and how our ancestors might have related to Her. Come hear the voices of the ancient ones who resisted the supression of their devotion to Her as the Torah recounts them. Come and learn how she suffuses the lineage with Her presence and radiance . 

CLASS MEETS FOR 90 min

THURSDAY JAN 29th AND THURSDAY FEB 5th 4-5:30pm PST

Tarot Readings with Cyrise

Readings can provide insight unavailable to the conscious mind through close and intuitive consideration of the cards that appear.  Interpreting a card layout is like reading a sacred text. A reading can help a person see and decode patterns in the subconscious that are at play in a situation or at a life stage.

If you feel the call to receive deeper guidance as you chart your path, or in you are seeking a reflection from an external source, schedule a reading with me today.

“There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique and if you block it, it will never exist through any medium and will be lost. The world will not have it”

-Martha Graham

Music Lessons w/ Cyrise

the 10 years that Alex studied with you he looked forward to his music lesson every week.  You knew how to keep him connected to the joy and love of music. He went on to study music at Cal Berkeley and beyond.  We are so grateful to you, Cyrise, for giving Alex such a strong and joyful musical foundation.”

B'nai Mitzvah Training

Cyrise guided our daughter with intuition and wisdom as she taught her the rituals and prayers she needed to become a Bat Mitzvah.  I felt a deep apreciation that Sarah was not only learning to read Hebrew and recite from the Torah, but that Cyrise was conveying the deeper meanings of Judaism’s spiritual practices. 

The ritual that Cyrise led for Sarah was deeply transformative for our entire family. Sarah and Cyrise keep in touch and I know she is a spiritual touchstone in Sarah’s life!”

Book Stefan

“I have sat on many occasions listening to Stefan’s music and find his creations both mesmerizing and deeply satisfying. It feels like the kind of soundtrack music Mark Knopfler might create, spacious and exploratory, emanating from a place of delight in the sonic possibilities of his guitar. A kind of reverie. I highly recommend his work.” – Daniel Sperry

Hip Hop Flow Class

“Cyrise’s Hip Hop Flow at the dance space is a special class. Her pure love of dance and encouragement for dancers to move and groove fully embodied is magical to be a part of. This class is full of love, encouragement, strength and great moves and music!”

– Amelia M.

Women's Vocal Ensemble

“Singing with Cyrise is a highlight of my week. It is joyful therapy for my mind, body, and soul. Being part of a group of women lifting our voices in song in these global times is healing beyond the personal – it’s sacred community chanting for the well-being of All,

infused with love and play.”
