Hotam School and the Center for Biography and Social Art (CBSA) are pleased to invite you to a unique workshop rooted in the profound understanding of karma brought to the modern world by Rudolf Steiner.
Over many years, this vast knowledge has been carefully researched and developed into a practical method of biographical work at the Hotam School for Biographical Counselling in Israel. Within this approach, we have also woven in the wisdom of Kabbalah, deepening ‎and expanding the path of inquiry.
This workshop offers a fresh perspective on perceiving the events of our lives through the study of the fundamental laws of karma. Participants will engage with “living knowledge” through lectures, facilitated biographical exercises,  artistic activity, and guided imagination practices.
 
The workshop will be held in English
