In ancient times on Rosh Chodesh, a fire would be made on a mountain top. This fire would signal the beginning of the month, and when others saw it, they too would light a fire on a mountain. The fires on the mountain tops connected people in counting time.

This time of darkness: moon time, access to the reptilian mind on the surface.
This time of transmutation, morphing, change: ignition of our soul fires.

ART & RITUAL FOR EVERYBODY

My offering:.
.
I believe everyone is creative. No one escapes this essence of humanity. I offer Creativity Coaching, working with people to connect with their authentic values, to develop them and them use them to guide the gifts they naturally have to offer. This work is based in the wisdom of your body and the wisdom of the earth that is here always here to offer support. We use somatic work to guide you to listen to your intuitive body. I offer exercises for developing your creative voice and practical tools to use your creativity to guide your life.
.

I see our work together as a collaboration, as all creative projects are. I will share my intuition skills, my experience as an artist, my background as a small business owner, a teacher and a priestess. I see the sharing of our creative authentic selves as a vulnerable act. In this vulnerability is a strength and beauty the world needs for human survival. Therefore, your creativity is not only necessary, it’s essential for the survival of earth.

I'm available in person in Philadelphia or over the phone from a distance.

IMAGE is inspired by a painting done on an incantation bowl. Incantation bowls also known as magic bowls represent a rare archive of information from the 7th century CE and earlier. They constitute a unique document in Jewish Aramaic because they were written on earthenware pots in permanent ink and preserved by being buried. Incantation bowls were used for both blessings and curses. I'm working on a collaboration with my dad who is a wood turner, making modern incantation bowls. FYI- those are ok symbols.

Just made this and a twin piece for my new mentor

Proof that I am at my most joyous dancing at weddings.
.
You guys: I AM AVAILABLE:
.
#1 To officiate your queer, straight, poly, commitment ceremony/wedding! I'm leaving the disfunctional world of Wedding Wire (the advertising platform I've used for the last few years to book gigs) and going out on my own.
.
I love love. I love getting to know people in their process of building their love and facilitating meaningful ceremonies. (Jewish mothers always ask me for my card after I do a wedding- because they might need it for their son/daughter down the line. That's my favorite compliment besides being asked if I'm a rabbi. Not a rabbi, I'm post-rabbi people. Priestess.).
.
#2 To officiate any life cycle event you can dream of: baby namings, gender transition ceremony, bar/bat mitzvah, mikveh, queer mikveh, funerals, transitioning in or out of illness or ability.
.
I will legitimately get the dance party started at your wedding. Testimonials available. Watch me breath new life into your great aunt Goldie.
.

Oh, and I give discounts for setting me up with your hot single queer cousin. Srsly.

Almost a decade later, we look exactly the same. Exactly. 🤷🏻‍♂️.

Liberation takes many forms:
.
Flight, breath, change.
.
These are some of the messages of Alef / Owl from my forthcoming Golden Animal Oracle. (Pictured here)
.
As we ready ourselves for this next full blue moon I’m thinking a lot about busting the myths / lies we’ve been told and corroborated in as a tool to manifest liberation. Especially the myth that all Jews were slaves in Egypt. Everything I’ve been learning leads to no, not all Jews were slaves in Egypt. Some may have been but not all. The plausibility of the Exodus is small.
.

However slavery has been a reality on Turtle Island for blacks, slavery has been a reality for many on many lands.
.
How does changing this story shift our paradigm? .
.
How does shifting this allow a deep release of victim mentality for Ashkenazi Jews who have benefited from White privilege, that frees up space for action and accomplicement with black people?.
.
This year at our seder we will be reimagining the Passover foods (which are all symbols of our life in “slavery” ) We will dream alive what truly liberatory, honest ways the foods can nourish a true vision of freedom for all.
.
Inspired by my Kohenet sibling, Rinah Galper we will be creating our future by seeing it laid out on our altar, the seder table, anew. .
Thank you @crashgrammy for the even deeper insight into this revelation today.
