Comprehensive

Katriel Tarot Reading

I love this Tarot deck. It includes 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 concious mind through close and intuitive consideration of the cards that appear.  

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.

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.

Elul mikvah ritual

rosh Hashanah

At the new moon of the Autumnal Equinox on Sunday, September 21st, we will gather to sing and pray, then immerse ourselves in the living waters that arise from this sacred earth. Set your intentions for the new season and the New Year of the soul. This gathering is limited to 12 participants.

Ashkenazi ancestral journey

polAND PILGRIMAGE

In July 2025 Julie Wolk and I facilitated a first-of-its-kind ancestral pilgrimage to Poland. This two week journey was seeded with the intention to return to the land our ancestors called home for centuries, and to bear witness to the vital lives they lived and the tragic brutality they faced.  This life changing journey caused us to imagine Judaism beyond Zionism and to deeply consider the concept of homeland and Doikayt/Hereness.

b'nai mitzvah training and ceremony

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!”
