Namaste Friends,

Gad Levy Golan began sharing his wisdom with me when we met on Sukkot at the Nature Center in Jerusalem back in 2022. I was fascinated by his embodiment of Kabbalah through the practice of Tai Chi and Qi Gong. I invited Gad to join my online studio last summer and he has been 'dropping in' ever since. I've used his teachings in my own practice as well as encorporating them into Yoga Shalom embodiment and the chair yoga I teach at Riderwood Senior Living Community. The graceful way that Gad teaches is masterful and invites us to join a metaphoric journey from heaven to earth, from plane to plane, from movement to mindfulness. After October 7th, Gad agreed to teach again, even as he needed to 'run to the safe room' for a moment and then rejoined when the coast was clear. It was a reminder to all of us that we are part of a larger community and must stay aware of what our friends in Israel are living with day to day.

Gad will join us this coming Monday January 22nd at 11:00 a.m. ET and invite you to experience this Tree of Life Kabbalah in honor of TuBishvat. Even if you've never clicked the zoom room link before, please do it! This is a way we can support Gad and learn the most amazing magical ways to open our hearts, minds and spirits to the power of the Tree of Life!

All donations made this week will go directly to Gad.

Many Blessings for Peace,

Reb Lisa
