Drawing Water of Joy!
We chose this theme to acknowledge that the intention of our gathering is indeed a sacred one: l'shem shamayim, for the sake of heaven and that we are composed mostly of water and our time in the desert helps us see the importance of water and joy in our lives.
We offer two sessions of classes. After reviewing all the choices, you select one early course (morning) and one later course (afternoon) for the three class days of the Cactus Kallah, plus two alternates (second choices in case the first is full) for each.
If you are registering ONLINE, please email your 2nd and 3rd choices. (Instructions are on the APPLICATION page.
