Kohenet Hebrew Priestess Institute

Tel Shemesh is a co-sponsor of Kohenet: The Hebrew Priestess Training Institute. Kohenet is beginning a new training this summer. See below for details.

Dear friends,

We are delighted to announce the next round of the Kohenet Priestess Training Institute beginning June 16-22, 2008. Kohenet is committed to revitalizing the Jewish connection with the Divine feminine and reclaiming the ancient role of women as facilitators of sacred experience. Kohenet trains women to identify traces of the Divine feminine within Torah and tradition and to create Jewish rituals and sacred experiences embodying this wisdom.

The initial two-year training, led by Kohenet founders Holly Taya Shere and Rabbi Jill Hammer as well as accomplished guest teachers, focuses on thirteen priestess paths as a frame for exploring and engaging in the realms of the ritual craft/ritual art, spirit-led activism, creative liturgy, thealogy, midrash (creative interpretation of sacred texts), sacred song and movement, spiritual journeying and dreamwork, as well as earth-honoring and mystical practices for Shabbat and festivals. The intensive concludes with an initiation ceremony joining us together as part of this ancient sisterhood.

For full information on the Kohenet Training Institute, and to apply, visit our new website, www.kohenet.org. Please feel free to contact us with any questions and we hope to journey with you.

B’rachot,

Holly and Jill
