Welcome to the Institute for Ancient Israelite Spirituality [iAiS-MaKoM]
iAiS-MaKoM Spiritual Retreat Center is a pioneering spiritual and esoteric school that teaches consciousness alteration and transformation based on ancient Israelite practices. Thousands of years ago, these practices were developed by the people of Israel, and they are just as relevant and uniquely transformational now as they were in ancient times.
What is the Spirituality of Today?
We live in a time when many of us in the West have lost touch with our own spiritual roots. No matter what religion or background we come from, everyone thirsts for spiritual practice and guidance, often without being aware of this. Everyone seeks connection with the divine—often subconsciously
iAiS-MaKoM Spiritual Retreat Center answers this question—What is the spirituality of today?—with a profound practice combining intellectual contemplation, philosophical inquiry, and spiritual "retreat"
By going back to ancient Israelite meditations and spirituality, we have the opportunity to arrive at the essence of Judaism. The essence of Judaism and Jewish religious sensibility, it turns out, is more encompassing and more electrifyingly-breathtaking than what is normally captured by conventional conceptions of Judaism
Spiritual Power of the Earliest, Originating Judaism
iAiS-MaKoM is the Center for Mosaic Kabbalah mysticism: the Place where genuine Seekers can find mystical and spiritual awakening—in accordance with the original Judaism practiced by the founders of Hebraic-Israelite-Jewish civilization three millennia ago...
The Reality of the God of Israel
Engaging with the concepts and practices of the iAiS-MaKoM Center, a Seeker has the opportunity to explore new, often unimaginable aspects of one’s consciousness—including awakening to the reality of mystical interconnection, spiritual nourishment and profound understanding that may lead to the awesome reality of the God of Israel. The living, overwhelming, astounding God—God who has an exalted, concealed, and all-powerful Name.
The Ancient, Foundational, Original Judaism
Judaism is an old, very old religion. The religious-mystical spirituality and sensibility framework that is being re-introduced at iAiS-MaKoM Center trainings dates from before the 10th to the 6th century BCE ancient kingdoms of Israel and Judea. That’s older than Christianity, older than Islam, older than Buddhism, Daoism, and Confucianism. Only Egyptian magic-centered pantheistic religiosity and Babylonian idolatrous polytheism is older than Judaism—but they are both long gone from the world’s competing marketplace of human notions of otherworldliness, the sacred, and the divine. Or are they?
First Temple Judaism
Known as the era of the First Temple Judaism, the period in question was a special time and place during which the inconceivable and implausible probability of a sustained, meaningful relationship between Human Beings and the God of All Creation and All Life has become a reality. By endeavoring to travel back to this original Judaism, we have the opportunity to learn about these mystical practices at their origins—and perhaps experience firsthand the singular exceptionality and inimitability of the Human-Divine, interscalar contact and communication.

For Seekers in Search of Israel’s God
Many people ask us: Who can practice Mosaic Kabbalah Mysticism? For example, do you have to be Jewish? The answer is, not necessarily. All genuine explorers in quest of spiritual enlightenment are welcome to begin their journey toward the God of Israel, via the precious inheritance of humanity—across three millennia—that has been transmitted through the Torah (i.e., the Teaching)
While many Jews may be drawn to the practice as an exploration of their ancestral roots, we welcome all genuine Seekers regardless of religion, gender, cultural or ethnic background, or previous experience with spiritual practice.
