Whether you seek to sing, play piano, guitar, percussion, or just improve your musicality, my lessons are based on your needs and designed to meet the unique human you are. I emphasize joy and curiosity in the process of learning.

Comprehensive

Katriel Tarot Reading

This is a very special Tarot deck. It includes the 22 letters of the Hebrew Alef-Bet, and the Kabbalistic “Four Worlds” overlayed with the 10 spheres of the Tree of Life.

This is truly a powerful mystic matrix.

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

I am grateful to be a lineage carrier of this deck as a student of Rabbi Steven Fisdel of blessed memory.

I’m offering a DISCOUNT for the upcoming Hebrew New Year and the month of ELUL (Aug 25-Sept 21).  Sign our mailing list during this period and you’ll receive a code for 18% off a comprehensive Tarot Reading.

Book

“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

Ancestral Blessing

elul Soul Candle ritual

We will meet in the field when the veils are thin to bless the souls of our ancestors and to request their blessings. It was a tradition throughout the Pale of Settlement for hundreds of years to “measure the cemetery” and then use the wick to make soul candles.  The candles will burn with our prayers infused in them, and illuminate our season of reflection and return with the blessings of our wise and well ancestors.

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.”
