There is in all things a hidden wholeness... an inexhaustible sweetness and purity, a silence that is a foundation of action and joy.— Thomas Merton
Are you feeling the collective anxiety that’s being perpetuated in our culture by the cascade of crises in our world?
According to Jungian psychotherapist Rabbi Dr. Tirzah Firestone, the challenges we’re facing as a global community are a direct reflection of unresolved trauma in our ancestral lineages.
The pain that accumulated in the generations before us is now coming due, and much of the stress that permeates our lives stems from unhealed wounds that have been bequeathed to us from our family lines.
Our work is to go inward and explore the issues of our ancestors so we can stop the “trauma train” in its tracks — and release patterns that keep us bound to small-mindedness and the material fixations that limit our true potential.
Join Rabbi Tirzah in an illuminating event in which she’ll share how the ruptures and traumas that occur in our lives and in the generations before us may fracture and obstruct our connection to our innate Self.
However, with the help of our wise and well ancestors, we can always rediscover and return to that sacred place within...
... to draw strength and to become healers of the distortions, blockages, and limitations that life’s traumas — and those of our predecessors — inevitably bring.
During this illuminating hour, you’ll learn that both Eastern and Western spiritual traditions believe that when we remain tethered to our original soul contract — our unique piece of repair work (or as Jewish mystics call it, our tikkun) — we’re able to remember why we came into this work at this critical time.
Cultivating powerful relationships with our ancestors helps us access our true Self — the part of us that holds the key to the inexhaustible source of healing within.
Thomas Merton, the great American mystic, called this core aspect of our being our hidden wholeness, and affirmed that we can recollect and bring our intrinsic wholeness into manifestation.
Carl Jung termed this latent potential the central, primary archetype of the Self.
In the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, the Sanskrit term Atman refers to the innately true or essential Self.
And Jewish mystics (Kabbalists) call it our most interior spark.
When you bring that fundamental part of yourself into your conscious mind, you find that you’re a fractal of divinity with a unique sacred purpose.
Whether it’s a time-honored tradition originating from the East or West, all of these wisdom systems put you in touch with your true Self — the wholeness that enables you to do the work of your soul’s true purpose and generate positive transformation.
And, as you remember who you are and what you came here to do, you start to live from your numinous essence — your holy, sacred, mysterious, and transcendent spirit — and gain the capacity to draw from an inner wellspring of healing potential to alchemize the intergenerational suffering of your ancestry.
Rabbi Tirzah will guide you in a powerful process in which you’ll journey to the timeless soul-level dimension where you first made your spiritual contract to resolve personal and ancestral wounds.
Through this practice, you’ll access a state of mind known as “Big Mind” — which enables you to strengthen your connection to the soul of your family, its riches and assets, and repair what went wrong in the generations before you.
