Have you been feeling curious about the connection between science, consciousness, and spirituality — and wondering if there’s more to life than what you’ve been taught?

Not toward religion as you knew it or the latest spiritual fad, but toward something deeper… something that makes sense — not just to your heart, but also to your mind.

You’ve always wanted to understand how things really work — not just on the surface, but in the layers underneath. Maybe you’ve tried meditation, explored psychology, or found yourself drawn to a quantum physics documentary or two. You’re fascinated by consciousness, the nature of reality, and the big mystery behind it all.

But so much of modern spirituality bypasses intellect, and so much intellectual discourse bypasses spirit. You’re left wondering: Where’s the system that honors both?

Les Lancaster, author, professor and co-founding director of Alef Trust, shares that there is a tradition that can hold the complexity of the modern world while synergizing our understanding of consciousness and its roots in the mystical nature of ancient wisdom.

Join Les for an illuminating event, where you’ll experience the Kabbalah as it was meant to be encountered: as a living, evolving mystical tradition that speaks directly to the crisis of meaning so many of us are facing today.

You’ll also explore how Kabbalistic wisdom aligns with the discoveries of quantum physics and modern psychology, offering a sophisticated map for understanding consciousness, the divine, and your own path of awakening.

Rooted in the Hebrew Bible, the Kabbalah is a Western path of mysticism that explores the nature of consciousness, the unfolding of the divine, and the symbolic language through which deeper truths reveal themselves. At its core, it invites us to become receptive — to “receive” wisdom from higher levels of awareness and perceive reality through a more refined lens.

You’ll come away with a new perspective on your inner world, a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness that underlies all things, and an invitation to engage with ancient wisdom in a way that feels deeply relevant to your modern life.

Les is a senior academic and one of the world’s leading authorities on the interface between mysticism, psychology, and consciousness studies.

With more than five decades of experience studying the Kabbalah, over 35 years researching the science of consciousness, and 40 years of guiding groups through deep inner work, Les brings a rare combination of scholarly rigor and heartfelt spiritual wisdom.

We’re living in a time of upheaval. Many of the frameworks we once relied on — religious, scientific, cultural — feel incomplete or outdated. We long for something that speaks to both the mystery and the logic of our lives. The Kabbalah offers just that — a tradition that doesn’t require blind faith, but invites experiential knowing.

You’ll begin the session by participating in a powerful breathwork practice called Breathing the Name of God. This gentle but profound exercise draws on a sacred Hebrew name to balance the inbreath and outbreath — helping you attune to the relationship between the body, soul, and divine mystery.
