International Kabbalah Conference (English Spoken)
The Human Spirit
Regrettably, due to the global spread of the Coronavirus, we have decided to cancel the original date and postpone the International Kabbalah Conference in The Netherlands on 6th – 7th June 2020.
The new date is now set for 10th – 11th October 2020.
The original date (6th – 7th June) just seemed too close to the now set safety measures for group meetings and social distancing by the Dutch government which is now set on 1st June and there is no guarantee that this period will not be extended and we will have to cancel our meeting again.
To those who have already paid and cannot come in October, we will of course, on your wish, refund the money. We hope that already bought air tickets can be exchanged for a voucher which most airline companies seem to be offering.
It is a pity we will not be able to share our experience on short notice. We hope you all will understand, and we look forward to seeing you in October.
Note for Dutch participants: Instead of the 10th October, we will soon announce a new date for the National Exchange Day.

Organisers:
Magda and René are experienced teachers in de tradition of Z’ev ben Shimon Halevi. When Z’ev ben Shimon Halevi retired from teaching abroad, they took the initiative of continuing his teaching in The Netherlands and beyond. This international seminar is organised so that people can continue to meet, share and study his ideas.
With enthusiasm we look to the future and all the bountiful fruit it offers. To take us there, we are preparing our Digital vehicle: pumping up the tyres, charging the batteries, checking the oil.
We apologise if you have any disruptions or oddities occur while we embark on this quest, it will all be worth while in the end.
COVID-19. Please go to www.kabbaleqc.wordpress.com for more information concerning the 2020 Spring Schedule.
Printemps 2020.
Chers Compagnons de Lumière,
Cet printemps, huit rencontres de Kabbale se tiendront à mon domicile, le samedi à 13 h 30.
L’Enseignement sera élaboré à partir des livres de notre maître Warren Kenton, mieux connu sous son nom de plume Z’ev ben Shimon Halevi, plus particulièrement, The Way of Kabbalah.
L’exercice : Soyez éveillés… au moins à 10 h, midi, 14 h, possiblement plus souvent. Pensez alors à chacun des membres du Groupe, votre âme spirituelle. Notez les effets ressentis pour les partager avec le Groupe.
Des agapes suivront l’enseignement qui nous permettront de partager les nourritures assiyatiques et yetziratiques.
Je vous demande de n’apporter que des denrées à consommer telles quelles et qui ne requièrent pas l’usage du four ou de la cuisinière. Par exemple, pain, biscottes, fromages, fruits, olives, humus, viandes froides, etc.
Assemblons-nous donc, Compagnons de lumière, pour recevoir la Rosée céleste et connaître Sa Présence.
Que le Voile Céleste soit levé!

Spring 2020.
Dear Companions of Light,

2 Saturday 2020/05/02 Meditation. Questions. The Ladder of Creation.

8 Saturday 2020/06/13 Meditation. Questions. The House of the Psyche.
9 Saturday 2020/06/20 Farewell. The Way of Kabbalah.
The Teaching will be developed from the books of our master Warren Kenton, better known by his pen name Z’ev ben Shimon Halevi, more particularly, The Way of Kabbalah.
Exercise: Be awake … at least at 10 a.m., noon, 2 p.m., possibly more often. Then think of each member of the Group, your spiritual soul. Note the effects felt to share them with the Group.
Feasts will follow the teaching which will allow us to share Assiyatic and Yetziratic foods.
I ask you to bring only foodstuffs to be consumed as such and which do not require the use of the oven or the stove. For example, bread, rusks, cheeses, fruit, olives, hummus, cold meats, etc.
Let us therefore assemble, Companions of light, to receive the celestial Dew and know His Presence.
May the Celestial Veil be lifted!

After over 30 years of running Summer Schools, our teacher Z’ev ben Shimon Halevi (Warren Kenton) decided, at the age of 82, that it was time for him to rest from this task. He announced that 2014 would be his final Summer School and this was very sad news for us all. There was a deep sense of gratitude and appreciation for the tradition that he has passed on to us so faithfully over the years. This he continues to do, with the support of his wife Rebekah.
Despite having to accept that it was the end of a remarkable era, many who attended expressed their wish to keep that annual space for the school to meet, study, meditate and enjoy the company of good companions. The work goes on.
Warren had previously approached us to ask if we would be prepared to take over the running of the annual Summer School, and we accepted, very aware of the great responsibility involved. Our intention is to continue to pass on the teaching of the Toledano Tradition, so clearly reformulated by Warren, to make it applicable to everyday life.
During the four days, contemplation, slide lectures, guided imagery meditation and ritual, will assist us in bringing the principles to life through experience and reflection. The afternoon breaks will allow time for solitude, conversation and local trips or walks in the beautiful grounds and woods.
The format for each day:
Breakfast – 8.30 am
Session 1 – 9.30 am – 11.00 am
Coffee – 11.00 am – 11.30 am
Session 2 – 11.30 am – 12.45 pm
Lunch – 1.00 pm
Afternoon free
Tea – 4.00 pm
Session 3 – 4.30 pm – 6.00 pm
Supper – 6.30 pm
Session 4 – 8.00 pm – 9.15 pm
Books: A bookshop will be available during the course for those who wish to purchase Kabbalah Society books.

Kabbalah and the Divine Feminine.
Maggy Whitehouse
LOCATION: EXETER, DEVON. Booking via Colin John. 01392 221066 / 07376 489302 email: colinjohn1st@outlook.com.
DATE: Sunday 1st March. Cost: £35.
Stories of love, hate, adultery, deception, betrayal, murder, compassion and redemption — it could be any soap opera on the television today. But this is a much older production; a blockbuster told by over 20 generations of feisty and powerful women, every one of whom still has something to teach us today.
We will learn of the different levels of humanity and how rising to the place of the Soul can transform our own lives just as the heroines of the Bible discovered. They can be our guide to our own Soul’s purpose.
Maggy will weave the story of Sophia, the feminine wisdom tradition from Shekhinah to Mary Magdalene via the women of the Bible — including Sarah (survival), Rebekah (ego), Ruth (self-knowledge), Jael (discernment) and Esther (unconditional love).
We will look at these Matriarchs and Heroines through the filter of Judaic mysticism and historical and social fact to see what we can still learn from them today. Each of them is an archetype within us and can show us our strength – and our shadow.
Kabbalah: The Wisdom of Your Soul
Maggy Whitehouse
St Bede’s Pastoral Centre, 21 Blossom Street, YORK, YO24 1AQ on Saturday 25th April. Enquiries and booking: martin.nathanael@btinternet.com
We humans are complicated, dualistic beings, focused on being busy and appreciated and fretting about external circumstances such as finances, work and the troubles of the world. From birth, we are trained to fit in and, whether we agree or rebel, our ego’s belief about what is right and what is wrong will drive our lives unless we make conscious efforts to change that.
We know that we are a soul with a body, not the other way around, but the soul seems to be a slippery thing and there is so much confusion about what is self, soul, spirit and higher self. Kabbalah offers a clear and practical design that shows us clearly the difference between who we think we are (ego), who we truly are (self), who we are meant to be (soul), who we came here to learn to become (higher self) and the help that is perennially available (spirit).
Using stories, discerning through Kabbalistic astrology, the blueprint of each participant’s soul, practical exercises and a life-changing internal journey to the heavenly Jerusalem, we will learn to recognise, listen to, and understand the levels within us in order to become our best (and happiest) selves.
All participants are requested to let Maggy have their birth data to help them understand the blueprint of their soul.
