Planting our Seeds, Planting our Souls: Meditations and Practices through the Omer

The period of the Omer has both agricultural and spiritual significance in the Jewish calendar. In the land of Israel, it connects the barley harvest of Passover to the wheat harvest during Shavuot, and provides a sign of prosperity for the coming year. It’s also a time of refinement and preparation as each year we leave our own personal enslavement in Egypt to meet the Holy One at the mountain on Shavuot.

Over the course of seven weekly sessions, Rabbi Robin Damsky of Limitless Judaism connects the Kabbalistic practice of Omer meditations — meant to refine our bodies and our spirits– with the cycle of the seasons and Earth-based roots of this period. She will facilitate a spiritual journey using meditation, melody, movement, agricultural practice, and study of selected complementary texts.

We invite you to join us regardless of your experience with meditation or text study. This journey is designed as a seven part series and you are welcome to join any or all of it. We will plant seeds together during the first and the last session. You must register by March 22nd to receive seeds from Limitless Judaism.

Limitless Judaism, created by Rabbi Robin Damsky, is an online project of learning, movement, meditation, melody, and practice that draws lines of connection between our physical bodies, our spiritual expression and Gaia – our earth cosmos. Embracing this connection, we heal and grow ourselves as we heal and grow our planet. For more information about Limitless Judaism, email rabbidamsky@gmail.com.
