Description

In this course, you will learn a Tai Chi-like set of movements inspired by Kabbalah's Tree of Life to help harmonize your mind, body and spirit, calm and focus your mind, relax your body, and be more in tune with the flow of life. The movements are easy to learn and only take a few minutes to do. I call it Sulam Chi, which means Ladder of Life Force Energy. It is a wonderful practice to start or end the day, or re-center whenever you need to.

I co-created Sulam Chi with another student of my Kabbalah teacher in Jerusalem in 1999. Inspired by our desire to experience Kabbalah's Tree of Life through movement, I used my training of many years in Yang-style Tai Chi Chuan to intuit the movements. They correspond to the energy centers (called sefirot) of the Tree of Life. The course will teach you two versions of Sulam Chi. The original version is a prayer in motion; associated with each movement is a prayer/intention to help deepen your experience of the sefirot and your connection to the Divine. The second version focuses exclusively on the movements and the intentions behind them.

The course includes a set of foundational exercises that incorporate many core principles of Tai Chi. Doing these exercises will enhance your Sulam Chi practice as well as the quality of your daily life. The final section of the course is a series of mini lectures that introduce you to Tai Chi, Kabbalah and its Tree of Life, and tell the story of how Sulam Chi was created.

Who this course is for:

  • People searching for a mind/body/spirit practice to reduce stress and increase balance.
  • People interested in Kabbalah and Taoism.
  • Beginners and all levels of Tai Chi students.
  • People yearning to deepen their connection to the Divine.

I fell in love with Tai Chi while living in the Boston area in the mid 1980's. After studying intensively with Yang-style Master Gin Soon Chu and his son Vincent, I moved to Israel and began teaching Tai Chi in 1993. While living in Jerusalem, I met a remarkable Kabbalah teacher named Hadassah Ben-Yishai who had a very special connection to the Divine. I became a dedicated student and devoted myself to learning how to embrace the unconditional love at the core of everyone's relationship with the Divine.

A few years after I met Hadassah, one of her students approached me asking if I could help him develop a set of movements that correspond to the energy centers (called sefirot in Hebrew) of Kabbalah's Tree of Life. We quickly developed movements and prayers for the sefirot and called them The Dance of The Tree. Over time, I transformed The Dance of the Tree into Sulam Chi, which means Ladder of Life Force Energy.

I returned to the States in 2001 and have continued to teach Tai Chi, Sulam Chi, and other mind/body/spirit practices. I am also the author of Living Wisely, an inspirational self-help book based on the wisdom teachings of Kabbalah and Taoism. I love helping people discover their potential, deepen their own connection to the Divine, and learn how to live with more gratitude and joy.
