Sacred Judaic Healing Ceremony
1:00 pm • Saturday, Oct. 12
Please come and experience the sacred and holy sorcery of our faith
immediately after the morning service of Yom Kippur
Lakme Elior and Gene Lipitz will be invoking the Jewish magic of a sacred circle to conduct a healing ceremony based on repressed and secret practices of our ancestors.
Please bring your grief and pain of the previous year and your hopes and plans for the new one (which you may share or keep private). Also bring two stones to hold in your palms that will be cast away as part of the ceremony.
Lakme is the former partner in ceremony of Rav Gershom Winkler, who is one of the foremost advocates and teachers on shamanic practices of Judaism, and with whom she co-wrote “The Place Where You are Standing is Holy: A Jewish Theology on Human Relationships”.
The ceremony will last between 60-90 minutes. We are likely to be outside so dress appropriately!
