Reaching for the Fruit: Again
A presentation and discussion with Heather Mendel
Congregation Beth David
This Wednesday, February 3 from 7:00 - 9:00 PM

Dancing In The Footsteps of Eve is a multi-layered odyssey of transition that moves to a feminine beat. It is based on the mystical Four Worlds of Kabbalah— Intuition, Thought, Emotion and Action, accessed by the archetypal Mystic, Student, Dreamer and Humanitarian within. Their interaction reveals an evolving image of Divinity, constantly present and continually changing, as ancient as Judaism and contemporary as the moment. In a quantum era of multiple possibilities, Heather Mendel offers a timely image of God that speaks to the transformation potential of the present moment. As “children of Israel,” with Eve as our guide, we reach for the radiance of the “promised land”— our own spiritual maturity. Are you ready to join the dance?
