What the Donkey Sees: The Embodied Wisdom of Pause, Pain & the Sacred Halt

In this live transmission of Underneath the Underneath, we meet an unexpected guide: Bilam’s female donkey. Through her mysterious three stops along the way and Bilam’s reaction to her, we uncover a profound map for attuning to embodied wisdom, nervous system healing, and the sacred art of halting before collapse. This class explores how the donkey’s three stops mirror the stages of nervous system defense, and how feminine wisdom teaches us to pause, to sense, and to refuse the familiar impulse to override what we know. Together, we reflect on how often we strike down or bypass our own knowing, both personally and collectively, and what it takes to listen instead. Rooted in the energy of Tammuz, we explore the connection between internal heat, compression, and the sacred medicine of slowing down. This is a deeply embodied mystical class, weaving Torah, trauma wisdom, and personal healing into a transmission on the sacred halt that can save us—if we listen.Ohmek Session dated July 8, 2025__________More on Yocheved Sidof:Yocheved Sidof is a mystic, teacher, trauma-informed spiritual guide and leader of Ohmek, a community of women and men pursuing deeper ways of Being.__________Deepen with Ohmek:Ohmek is a community of women and men pursuing deeper ways of being.It is the space that holds all, yet remains empty, the void that allows healing and transformation to take place, take shape, belong, integrate and disperse.It is an invitation inward, into a space and community, as well as one’s own inner world. A place to be stretched and to come together, to feel at home in exploration, with room to be and to breathe.At our upstate retreat center and Brooklyn locations, in our sacred gatherings, healing containers and embodied mysticism classes, we invite you into spiritual experiences and sacred spaces that allow us — collectively and individually — to explore our own depths, underneath the underneath.Website: www.ohmekliving.comInstagram: @ohmek.livingTo support these sessions and our offerings, strengthen our community, and enhance your engagement we welcome you to join MAAGAL, our founding membership circlehttps://www.patreon.com/ohmek/membership
