Deepen your understanding of Miriam’s Well, the Pagan
roots of Passover, and Ancient Springtime purification rites, plus Leave with
something special to bring in to your seder.
Passover, or Pesach, was the ancient spring festival of
the land of Canaan, a time of cleansing and renewal, that became intertwined
with the story of the Exodus from Egypt. In this one-day workshop, we take a
new look at the old stories. Right now, we need sources of resilience and
creativity to help us counter the bondage of a society growing ever more
callous, cruel and oppressive.
Miriam — an ancient Hebrew Goddess long before she became
a Biblical figure — was said to have a well that followed her wherever she
went. We too can find deep sources of strength and regeneration that can
replenish our energy and deepen our magic even when we wander in the desert of
our current social and environmental breakdowns. Together we will co-create
ritual to drink from the well of renewal and restore the promise of justice and
compassion.
Cost: $40 - $85
