Climbing the Tree

The Transformation of Kabbalah 1 and 2

What is the number one way the Tree of Life has served you?

This was a question posed to us at the recent Kabbalah 2 class. The answers came not as concepts, but as lived truth. There was a shared recognition of something deeply personal taking place within each one of us. We shared about how the process is supporting us to develop true self-awareness, of seeing clearly where we have been standing in our own way, of recognising patterns of stubbornness, emotional imbalance, or unconscious holding on. We spoke about how we’ve been releasing layers of trauma, making tangible shifts in our lives, and aligning more honestly with the direction we feel called toward.

What became evident is that in just four months, between Kabbalah 1 and Kabbalah 2, something profound had already begun to take root within us.

This work does not rush. It meets each individual exactly where we are, and steadily invites us into greater self-responsibility. Through consistent study, practice, and reflection, the Tree begins to reveal both light and shadow with increasing clarity.Not to judge, but to illuminate, transform and guide us forward.

One of the key teachings explored in Kabbalah 2 is the awareness of what we carry that is not aligned with our highest self. These are sometimes described as “sandbags,” the weights we continue to hold onto, consciously or unconsciously, that limit how much Light can move through us. Attachments, old identities, emotional patterns, fears, and beliefs that once served a purpose but are no longer in alignment begin to surface more clearly. And with that awareness comes choice.

The work then deepens through ascension on the Tree of Life.

In Kabbalah 2 we ascended into the next four key Sephiroth on the Tree of Life; Yesod, Hod, Netzach, and Tiphareth, each revealing a deeper layer of self. From strengthening our foundation and bringing awareness to subconscious patterns, to refining the mind, opening the heart, and connecting more deeply to our true essence, each step offered a expansion in clarity, balance, and alignment with the Light within.

While these teachings can be described, their true impact is felt in the lived experience of those walking the path.

Kabbalah is so much more than can be explained in words. The depth of how it changes your mind and the way you experience existence is something that can only be lived in order to be understood. I’m so grateful to have access to such magick and completely different way of living, enjoying and understanding life.

In class we learned that each Ascension in the tree of life is as if you climb a tree from a forest and the higher you climb, the easier it is to see the forest and to find a path. I feel the higher you climb, the easier it is to understand and really connect with that “forest”.

I’m really grateful that after the Kabbalah 2 Ascension, we climbed the tree of life higher and it helped me connect even deeper with God, see and appreciate my piece in the forest of life, and also appreciate even more all the other pieces, really feel the beauty of our union and purpose of humanity in the Universe.

I love how after the Ascension I got revelations and I could connect them with the specific Sephiroth they came from. I could feel and recognise “This is the Splendor of the Mind of God, this comes from Hod!”, “This comes from the real – I am – who I truly am – this is Tiphareth!”, as well as feeling a deeper connection to my creativity due to Netzach.

It’s so magickal to live the knowledge, not just learn about it and I’m excited and honoured to experience life this way. Humanity is truly blessed to have access to such tools that help us remember more and more who we truly are so that we can both enjoy the physical world at the highest level, as well as come closer to fulfilling our purpose in the Universe.

I found the study groups between Kabbalah 1 and Kabbalah 2 invaluable in helping me build a much deeper understanding of the individual Sephiroth and their qualities. But attending Kabbalah 2 really brought everything together, consolidating those learnings into a broader, deeper level understanding of how the Sephiroths interrelate and how I can consciously work with and harness them within. The day itself was incredibly powerful, particularly the ascensions and I felt deeply connected not only to the process, but also to my brothers and sisters who shared the experience alongside me.

~ Célia Pronto, Healer, Life Activation Practitioner, Ritual Master Apprentice, London, UK

Kabbalah 2 strengthened my foundation and raised it. It set a higher standard within me.

It made me realise, on a deeper level, that in order to spread splendor, I must first be splendor. To stand before the mirror and consciously sacrifice the parts of me that still live in the shadow. Not as loss but as transformation. Because when more light is brought to what is already light in essence, the shadows naturally dissolve. And so, to sacrifice means: to make something sacred.

~ Philippe Metz, Healer, Life Activation Practitioner, Breda, Netherlands

This is the quiet power of the work.

It does not seek to change who you are at your core, but rather to reveal it more fully. To strip away what is not aligned, to strengthen what is true, and to support you in walking your path with greater clarity and integrity.

As we continue our journey on the Tree, the work does not end here. Each ascension opens the doorway to the next level of awareness, responsibility, and refinement.With each step, there is an ongoing process of knowing oneself more deeply, releasing what no longer serves, and aligning more fully with one’s true nature.

In that process, life itself begins to change.

As we climb the Tree, we are not only ascending through the Sephiroth.

We are becoming more of who we truly are.

Universal Prayer Service

A Universal Prayer Night — everyone is welcome!

Do you pray? Do you talk to God, Source, the Universe — or simply to something greater than you?

In moments of challenge, uncertainty, or change, prayer can be a powerful way to bring light and love to a situation. It helps us soften the mind’s grip, open the heart, and receive guidance from above – beyond what we can see in our linear mind perspective.

This is a free, in-person Monthly Prayer Night offered as a universal service. You are welcome exactly as you are, regardless of your faith, spiritual background, or personal beliefs.

What to expect

During this evening, one of the Guides in the Modern Mystery School tradition will lead us through prayer in a grounded, uplifting way.

You can expect:

A warm, inclusive space held with care and respect
Guided prayer to bring light, love, and support to what you’re moving through
A chance to reconnect with your own inner faith, whatever that means for you
The power of praying together as a community

Why pray together?

Many of us prayed naturally as children – with trust, imagination, and gratitude. As adults, we can return to that same connection, with even deeper awareness.

When we pray together, something shifts. We lift what feels heavy into a higher realm, the quantum field, God, the Universe, and invite infinite possibilities to meet what once felt stuck or limited.

Bring your personal prayer

You’re invited to bring a personal prayer for yourself, a loved one, a situation, or simply for more peace, clarity, and support.

This is not about “doing it right.” It’s about showing up, opening your heart, and allowing the light to move.
