Although often thought of as solely concerned with spiritual uplift, the kabbalistic tradition is actually focused on the inextricable relationship between darkness and light, evil and goodness, the holy side and the “other side,” the Gods and the Devils, or, in more modern terms, between Eros and Thanatos. In this session, we will explore this tradition through study of texts from the Zohar, kabbalah’s central work, as well as experientially through exercises drawn from the tradition.
