about the « letters of fire » workshop

I hasten to say that the workshop, in its content and its organization, was a refreshing change from the typical 'blah-blah-blah'. I liked the idea of breaking up the teaching sessions with multi-media presentation, with music and with practical exercises.... Not at all what I expected from a workshop based in an ancient spiritual tradition!

The workshop was enriching in every sense. The
quality of the information taught, as well as the pleasure that Jeff took [and shared] in presenting his unique approach to the letters. It was a terrific weekend, very intense and deeply satisfying. The workshop provided me with a solid basis of knowledge which, I am sure, will help me to deepen my knowledge of the Kabbalah and my 'sensitivity' to the different energies of letters. Thank you, Jeff, and again once: Bravo!

New horizons were opened for me, or rather I rediscovered a forgotten universe that informs our present culture, all this given to me with the openness of heart and openness of mind that I appreciate so much in Jeff. I experienced in this workshop the joy of calligraphy, the pleasure of singing, the beauty of the sacred texts, the gift of sharing with others. I have a new tool for personal growth, because the teachings of the workshop encourage me to continue on my own path, accompanied, of course, by the powerful and sympathetic energy of the Hebrew letters. This workshop was a true gift and I thank the universe for it. Thanks as well to Jeff, who led the workshop with professionalism, with the richness of his inner world, and with his love that he shared with all of us.

First, the encounter with the leader/guide of this marvellous journey: Jeff is a well-spring of love, of playfulness, of knowledge, all of this manifested in simplicity and unpretentiousness. He shares his knowledge with a marvelous energy and solicits our joyous participation. He is very organized, he takes us on a journey that leads to surprising discoveries, and all is shared with affection. I feel in my rightful place, my interior child exults, it is a moment of true happiness! Thank you, Jeff.

I have sincerely enjoyed this workshop, and I recommend it warmly to all! Anyone who wishes to understand the Hebrew letters... this is a great place to start. [The content of the workshop was] very dense. I gained knowledge in so many ways, knowledge that I have been seeking for years.

I really loved the non-directive approach of Jeff, an approach that encourages: to study, to draw, to see, to hear, to sing... and that asks us personal questions... but all of it with kind attention, with sympathy, but without judgment, without correction, free of personal opinions, advice, etc. A very, very rare quality among workshop leaders.


As for the 'tool kits' and the workshop Guide... the generosity of thse 'gifts' is touching, and their ingenuity is gratifying. One feels Jeff's enthusiasm for sharing, for leading us to discover everything that he finds so beautiful in the tradition... like a spell-binding story-teller!

The presentation of the Hebrew letters and Jewish culture is very even-handed, not too difficult, easy to digest... but rich enough to lead us to marvel at it... and to give us the desire to learn more!

Terrific, Jeff! Your personality and your knowledge! It is the first time in my life that someone made me like and to appreciate history, the ancient past! It was a very rich weekend that deserves a deepening of every theme that Jeff touched on.

I appreciated the presentation of letters: the multi-media support as well as the calligraphy. It was also moving to hear prayers recited in this language. The songs were were very beautiful... and I loved this alternation between multimedia presentations and the others aspect of the teaching.

The workshop taught me a lot about the relations between people. The strength of letters permitted me to discover that a smile and a generous heart can move mountains. [The teachings on] the tree of life made me understand that I am a channel for the divine light. The therapeutic approach of 'the four worlds' was a big step in my evolution. Thank you, Jeff.
