Journey into the Ancestral Dimension: A Rosh Chodesh Elul Ritual with Rabbi Tirzah Firestone (Digital Download)
The month of Elul has long been held as an auspicious time for personal healing and the breaking of old patterns. Under this moon, the ancients said our efforts to recalibrate and repair our lives receive special energy from the divine world. Join Rabbi Dr. Tirzah Firestone and the Shefa community as we gather on the New Moon of Elul to begin the work of this sacred month: to celebrate the good, clarify our karmic assignments, and be guided into the olam ha’avot, the abode of the ancestors, to encounter our spiritual allies, friends, and ancestors, and receive their guidance. This 90-minute experiential teaching is open to people of all backgrounds and ages who are interested in understanding the unseen dimension of the ancestors in light of the psychedelic experience.
