Description
Few years ago I envisioned a place where we could build bridges between hearts, practicing healing with acceptance and inclusion (Kabbalah) and walk in the path of the effortless effort (Wu Wei).
When the vision sought to be born the whole universe rallied and summoned us a wild semi-tropical area untouched as it was on the days of Eden.
What do we have?
Nothing! But we do have everything that really matters – guitars, djembe, didgeridoo, ukulele, cymbals, piano (!), rattles, flutes, harmonica, mouth blower and a few other sound creating instruments that only pachamama knows their names.
What will we do?
Much of this depends on the tribe that will form. I believe that on the first days we will clean the area to set up tents and a campfire. On the following days we will build a roof so we will have a place to cuddlee and share our vibrations.
What is the vision all about?
I imagine a playground like in a kindergarten full of sounds that we will produce with all kinds of instruments, our bodies and everything that is around.
Having a safe space for vocal exploration, a protected haven that embraces every authentic voice as it is in the present may it be harmonic or out of tune.
On Friday evenings we will celebrate Oneg Shabbat in a mantra singing circle. On Full moons we will strengthen our body and spirit with local Cacao brewed according to the best tradition of the tribes around us.
And in between? Beyond 4-5 five hours a day of taking active part in building and manifesting the kingdom – the rest of the time is ours as a tribe to share our gifts. I envision us sharing workshops of intuitive singing, jams, expression of authentic voice, laughter yoga, movement, acro-yoga, and everything we invent together, each contributor and the gift they want to share with the tribe.
I invite you to come with the intention to observe and learn an aspect of your life and in the initiation fire we’ll commit to our process of breath, observe and let go.
Who is the tribe?
authentic conscious and reliable people who are not afraid to go on a journey into themselves in a grounded way.
People who feel the call for more music in their lives and want to learn how to play an instrument and open their heart and sing in a non-judgmental and loving environment even if you never held an instrument or sang out loud before.
People who want to explore their gifts.
What does “Ohel Abraham” mean?
Ohel – The word Ohel means tent in modern Hebrew and represented here in the context of welcoming house – a place of hospitality to recharge, reconnect and build bridges of trust.
Abraham – My name is Avi the literal meaning in hebrew is “My Father” but usually is the short name for Abraham and tradition has it that Abraham is the father of all nations.
“Ohel Abraham” – The house for building bridges.
