Yom Kippur 5786 with Miknaf Ha'aretz
Kol Nidre, Wednesday evening, 1st October
Yom Kippur Day, Thursday 2nd October
Dartington, South Devon (Location TBC)
“The book of life and the book of death are one book. The opposite of life is not death. The opposite of life is Empire.” - Kohenet Val Schlosberg
On Yom Kippur we enter a powerful portal where we offer a collective prayer for life. This prayer has never been more urgent. We invite you to join us to drop in deeper to this powerful moment in time, to incubate our prayers for the year ahead & to honour the beloved dead at our backs in soul-ful, song-ful community & nature-connected contemplation.
This will be a creative, embodied, experiential take on the traditional High Holy Day liturgy and practice grounded in the Kohenet tradition. Services and ritual will be held by Kohenet Sara Moon, Samson Hart & more TBC... There will be prayer time, time to be on the land alongside much space to wander, reflect, meditate, sing and be in silence. All offerings will be optional and will be as inclusive, egalitarian & queer-affirming as possible! If there is there anything that would support your comfort/joy in participating, please let us know! You can email us at hello@miknafhaaretz.co.uk
Jewish folk of all backgrounds and their loved ones welcome!
