About the Journey
Modern life often pulls us away from ourselves. Many people feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or searching for deeper meaning and inner stability.
Jewish spiritual traditions offer timeless practices that help us return to presence, awareness, and connection with the soul. In this course, ancient wisdom meets modern practices of mindfulness and breathwork to support healing, clarity, and personal transformation.
What Makes This Course Unique
This journey brings together three powerful streams of practice:
Jewish Wisdom
Teachings inspired by Torah, Kabbalah, and Chassidic traditions that explore the relationship between breath, awareness, and the soul.
Breathwork
Guided breathing practices that support emotional release, nervous system regulation, and deeper self-connection.
Embodied Awareness
Mindfulness and somatic practices that help integrate insights into daily life and strengthen the connection between body, heart, and mind.
The Sefirot and the Journey of the Omer
In the Jewish mystical tradition of Kabbalah, the Sefirot (see photo above) are understood as qualities or channels through which life, consciousness, and divine energy flow into the world. They also reflect inner human qualities such as kindness, strength, compassion, graduated, endurance, creativity, balance and presence and more.
Each year, during the period known as Sefirat HaOmer, the seven weeks between Passover and Shavuot, Jewish tradition invites a process of inner refinement. Each day focuses on one of these qualities, offering an opportunity to reflect, grow, and cultivate greater balance in our lives.
In this course we draw inspiration from this ancient framework. The seven weeks become a gentle map for exploring different inner qualities through mindfulness, breathwork, and embodied awareness — supporting a journey of personal and spiritual development.

Meeting Yourself Where You Are
This journey is an invitation — to pause, to breathe, and to meet your life more fully in a small intimate group.
Together we will explore ways to deepen our relationship with our inner experience: with thoughts, emotions, sensations, and the quiet movements of the heart. Through breath, presence, and reflection, we create space to relate to our experiences with greater curiosity, compassion, and awareness.
The wisdom of the Sefirot teaches that human qualities such as kindness, strength, gratitude, persistency (and more) can be cultivated and refined, I invite you to a gentle but powerful process of inner growth — an opportunity to bring more awareness and intention into the way you live.
In this spirit, the course becomes a shared space of exploration. Not a place where something needs to be fixed, but a place where we learn to meet life more openly and consciously.
You are warmly invited to join this circle of learning, breath and discovery.

Over the last 12 years, I have been teaching mindfulness and breathwork in Israel, and for the past 7 years in Tasmania, mostly in clinical environments—a psychiatric ward and a trauma recovery unit focused on overcoming anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). I am in awe to these techniques and to the amount of times people are connecting to their spirituality, not intended, simply from breathing and listening.
Although I was born and raised in Jerusalem and son of a Hazan (cantor), I am not a Rabbi and keep learning I have much to learn about my heritage and it's incredible wisdom. I began to observe and study devotedly Judaism only 6 years ago.
As a response to the war and the increasing antisemitism I feel a calling to share what I am learning about Kabbalah, which literally means 'acceptance' and 'receiving', sharing it from the perspective of mental health, personal growth, and spiritual development.
I would like to invite you to learn and experience together, unity and strength, first inside of us.
May our hearts open and touch others, may the light within shine to the nations.
Hope to breathe with you soon,
With love,
Gilad Hodya Shavit

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
SAMANTHA
"I still remember my first breathing session. When Gilad said the breath could awaken memories, emotions, and many unexpected experiences, I laughed — I didn’t believe it.
But during that session I discovered how wrong I was. At the time I felt locked and almost numb emotionally. Through these breathwork sessions something began to open, and slowly I found my symphony of emotions again.
The more I put into the practice, the more I receive from it.
There is something very special in the spiritual breathwork sessions that Gilad facilitates. It’s difficult to fully describe, but when I breathe in these sessions I feel as if the Holy Spirit is breathing with me — sometimes speaking, sometimes simply sitting beside me.
Breathing has changed my life. It has given me life again.
Thank you will never be enough."
SHULAMIT
Gilad’s expertise, calming personality and deep sense of care and empathy he brings to sessions have helped me immensely in grounding and regulating my nervous system. In being part these sessions, I have learned practical and tools to cultivate a level of deeper self understanding and acceptance of the world around me. I always look forward to sessions which bring a sense of connectedness and peace to my week.
LUARENCE
I have attended a number of Gilad's workshops and have found him to be one of the best teachers I have experienced. His compassion combined with deep understanding of his material (both Kabbalah, Jewish mysticism, and breathwork) makes him unique. Also, as a person his insights and empathy with his students means that he has often triggered profound understanding and perspectives for me. I thoroughly recommend doing his courses.

DANITA
I've joined a number of Gilad's Breathwork and Jewish mindfulness classes and have always found them to be calming, spiritually interesting and generally uplifting. Gilad's gentle, caring manner together with his informative approach makes each session a different and pleasurable experience.
