EJW Network Community Gathering

Chanting the Sefirot סְפִירוֹת

Thursday, April 20, 2023
10am PST | 1pm EST | 8pm Israel

Main Practice Guided by Hadar Ahuvia

For this Omer practice, we will linger in the qualities of Sefirot through embodied sound practices that trace the consonants and vowels in the body and space, chanting the pair of sefirot 112 times, and moving between renewal and repetition.

What to bring: Clear a space for movement and where you can chant/make sound
