Obesity is an epidemic that plagues western society; Nearly 78 million adults and 13 million children in the United States deal with the health and emotional effects of obesity every day.

Episode 15 – Shmuel Cohen – Shamanic Judaism 1

ConsciousTorah is a process to teach and share Torah. The Torah is a guidebook for Jewish souls showing how they can access the divine and bring kodesh/holiness into the world. Judaism is an ancient family tradition; and in order to understand this ancient tradition, we need to both experience, and study the tradition. While there are many venues for study, there are very few venues for experiencing what we have learned/are learning. We fill this gap with teachings, classes, and workshops using the ConsciousTorah method. Torah (/ˈtɔːrəˌˈtoʊrə/; Hebrew: תּוֹרָה, “Instruction, Teaching”), or the Pentateuch (/ˈpɛntəˌtuːk, –ˌtjuːk/), is the central concept in the religious Judaic tradition. It has a […]
