Kabbalah: The Mystic in the Marketplace

30th January, 2022
15:00 – 16:30 GMT

This latest in a series of seminars under the general title, Unity in Diversity.
To view all previous seminars see our Media page.

The seminar will be led by Kurt Browne & Joanna Lapage-Browne

Seminar Description

Kabbalah, meaning ‘receive’, is a living tradition concerning life – its Source, purpose and its Divine plan.

At its heart is Jacob’s Ladder, the extended form of the Tree of Life illustrating the relationship between the four levels within existence – physical, psychological, spiritual and divine. In its classical and contemporary form, the Tradition is relevant to all humanity, providing a path to Self-realisation.

In this online seminar, we will give a brief introduction to the Tradition and aim to show how the teaching is made real in the marketplace of life; providing perspective and hope for ourselves and our world.

Speakers

Kurt and Joanna have studied and worked in the Toledano Tradition School of the Soul, founded by Z’ev ben Shimon Halevi (Warren Kenton) since the early 1970’s.

A seminar by Hina Khalid

This seminar ventures into the relatively unexplored terrain of a Hindu-Muslim comparative inquiry into the intimate presence of the divine reality to the finite world. It offers a comparative analysis of the conception of the infinite in the worldviews of two major philosopher-poets of the Indian subcontinent – Muhammad Iqbal (1877-1938) and Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941).
