Dream Book Club
Undertorah: An Earth-based Kabbala of Dreams with Author Jill Hammer
About
Join us for a 6-session book club as we read Undertorah: An Earth-Based Kabbala of Dreams. Together we will use the book as a guide to deepen our relationship with dreaming, paired with community dream circles, and ending with a Q/A with special guest and author, Rabbi Jill Hammer.
If you are interested in exploring the world of dreams, dream work, healing, higher guidance, and/or earth-based Judaism this bookclub is for you. You do not need to be Jewish in order to attend. Though we will be exploring dream through an earth-based Jewish lens, we honor the many ancient ways and cultural perspectives to dreaming, which have wisdom in them all.
