"The significance of Keren Abrams work is that it can facilitate anyone that seeks to integrate the otherwise hidden residue of they're lives and provide a path to re-introduce those exposed roots to the balm of a healing dose of heritage."

"it is a huge privilege to learn, share and pray with you. I thank God that we were brought together!"

in addition to individual studentships, keren's teachings are offered via her mik'dash center, the newly forming santa fe institute of kabala, as well as independent contracts with both jewish and other spiritual groups around the USA and Israel.

as teacher, keren's main intention is to inspire the innate wisdom of the being through body-mind-spirit attention and integration.

all of the teachings are intended to facilitate each person's direct experience and conscious awareness of the divine and sacred dimensions of being-ness, as well as refining mindfulness and witness practice and presence. in the transmission of spiritual wisdoms, either hebraic or universal, keren guides experiential and embodied methods.

primarily, the subjects keren teaches range from jewish/hebrew tradition & wisdom, practice, language & prayer, to authentic ritual as an art form, to forms of devotional practice, to improvisation, movement and dance.

the mik'dash center
for hebrew heritage wisdom and embodied jewish practice

at last, - - -
a gathering place
wherein
the essence
of tribal Hebrew ways
are recovered and integrated into
contemporary jewish practice
a place
without
institutional bounds on
the cultivation and immediate expression
of the sacred.
Whoever is moved to be present is welcome.

the mik'dash (literally- place of holy-making) center is founded in the understanding that ritual and sacred-place is essentially created by the sphere-of-mind placing conscious attention and setting clear intention in the same moment. here, we do this as a sponteously formed and contemporary collective, while standing in the spirit-circle spiraling from the hebrew lineage.

 
some workshop titles include:

• tekes mikhilah (feminine forgiveness ritual)
• the sod of eidut, the sod of eirut
• authentic ritual creation
• authentic movement
• sacred space jam -devotional practice

mik'dash hosts holy day gatherings and other transformative rituals on sacred lands just outside of santa fe, NM , facilitated by keren's ritual artistry and teachings.

all events are home/land/cottage based, by donation, and co-created rituals engaging chant, music, sense, movement & silence.

come celebrate, honor, place attention, and pray with us, dwelling within both earthbound and heavenward ecstatic experience!
