Recently, I heard a religious woman describe how she has more of a collective consciousness than secular people, that for secular people it’s “every man for himself,” or at most for his family. As an example, she said that if she wants to cross a street on Shabbat and a car is just coming, she …
I’ve already written how the message I’ve been getting lately is to listen carefully and follow the guidance that will only be revealed one step at a time, to move forward bit by bit and not expect to see further than that. On the one hand, reality is so chaotic now. On the other, I …
October 7 convinced the majority in Israel that there really is no alternative to “living by our sword” forever, making absolutely sure that we will always be the victors. What idiocy. If there’s one thing the history of this place can teach, it’s that every wall and every empire eventually falls. There is no …
Difficult times are when we most need support. So of course, at the beginning of October I immediately turned to my ancestors, with whom I have been working for several years, who have already gone through a process of healing and who helped so much in the ritual work last summer in Europe.

I imagine I’ll have something in this post to upset people in all of my identity groups. So maybe I shouldn’t post it.

Daniel’s expert facilitation, the impressive team, the courageous participants, and the joy of finally getting to sing and drum and sit in circle with everyone and not just on zoom are still with me, …
This weekend I’ll be part of the support team for the Ancestral Lineage Healing Intensive – in person – in Hamburg, Germany, so I’ll be wanting to post some about this Ancestral Healing process I’ve been working with for a number of years, especially since people here are not familiar with it. There are …
These are fateful, critical times. Humans have felt this periodically throughout history. Perhaps this is because all of what we call history is a tiny but explosive bit of our planet’s lifetime. But we all know that these are fateful times – as the pace of everything quickens, the hockey puck graphs skyrocket, and we …
After having posted weekly about a lot of topics before starting a blog, I decided to personally translate and repost the 9 months or so as a blog, and I’ve just finished them. So this is the first post post post, as it were, so it seems like an apt time to look at the …
