Retreats
Kabbalah Retreat
Jacob’s ladder describes four worlds with a dynamic of opposites and principles that interact with the flow of life. Surrounded by ancient woodland and a natural spring, we will draw from the Cordovero-Halevi line of Kabbalah to contemplate the four worlds and explore teachings on subjects such as creation, the soul and the spirit.
