The Hebrew Priestess Institute Mission Statement
Kohenet: The Hebrew Priestess Institute works to revitalize the Jewish connection with the Divine feminine and to reclaim the ancient role of women as facilitators of sacred experience. Through its programs and resources, Kohenet advocates and nurtures embodied Jewish spiritual leadership, creativity, and community from an earth-honoring, feminist perspective. Drawing on midrashic and mystical teachings from the Jewish tradition, Near Eastern myth, and women’s wisdom across the generations, Kohenet reclaims and innovates uniquely feminine models of Jewish spiritual leadership.
- Kohenet Hebrew Priestess Training Intensive is a program cultivating spiritual creativity and leadership for women on a priestess path. The initial two-year training focuses on ritual, myth, midrash, and spiritual journeying as well as Shabbat and festivals. The two-year advanced training focuses on creative projects, deeper learning, and spiritual facilitation skills, leading to ordination as a priestess in the Kohenet tradition.
- Kohenet Network connects individuals and groups who are developing similar models of Jewish earth-based spiritual practice and leadership, fostering shared community and meaningful dialogue on-line and in person.
- Kohenet Resources supports the understanding and practice of Hebrew priestessing and of an earth-honoring, feminist Judaism through creating liturgy, commentary, and other materials in print and on-line formats.
- Kohenet also hopes to help sponsor spiritual initiatives for men seeking earth-honoring, egalitarian models of Jewish Spiritual leadership.
