*All course material based only on classic Torah texts.
The human soul is the deepest thing in Creation. Learn about the nature of your soul and its primary roots and divisions. Then learn to access these infinite soul-powers and channel them according to the advice of the Sages.
We will study the main divisions of the soul taught by the Sages and use guided meditation and other practical tools to experience the extraordinary Torah way to enlightenment. A lively discussion usually follows the experiential part of the class. Feel free to join the discussion or to learn quietly in your own way.
Either way, you will access abilities that you never knew you were capable of, and gain a totally new perspective on abilities that you are familiar with.
