with Nomy Lamm & Sol Weiss
This will be a three part series over three months, where we focus on one mother letter in each class. Sefer Yetzirah teaches that שׁ (shin), מ (mem) and א (alef) are the “mothers” of all other letters, and symbolic figures for the elements that are the foundation for all of creation. Each letter is connected with an element and a body part that we will explore through song and practice in each of our three sessions. As sick & disabled people, finding relationship between our bodyminds and song, earth, fire, water, and air supports us in breaking isolation and grounding in connection with the world.
