If your body were a temple — which worship would it be dedicated to? Since a “temple”, by definition, is a place of worship.
In ancient Kabbalistic texts, the ultimate worship is called “Pulchana deRechimuta,” meaning — “the worship of Love”.
While most branches of conventional Kabbalah fear the body, we walk the path of lineage, which is less known and is built on a different premise: that the body itself, being a manifestation of the soul, is the secret portal to the deep mysteries. Therefore, we relate to Eros with reverence. Not as a low carnal desire, not as a “necessary evil”, and not as an obstacle to the sacred path, but as a carrier of deep mysteries, to be unfolded with one’s evolution.
The 7-day intensive of Kabalove Body Temple is an invitation for those who feel called to explore that path. It is not meant for everyone — just for those who long for these mysteries. Participating in it will not guarantee you any worldly success. It can only help you align more deeply with the path of your soul if your soul knows this path as home. The fruits of this garden are medicinally intoxicating for those who need them, and might be toxic for those who eat them unripe.
Through sacred rituals, meditations, ancient texts, embodied practices, chanting, and movement, we will descend during that weeklong seminar into the mysteries of the soul through the body, not despite it.
