Back to Hulda the Prophetess…
On September 7th, a group will once again go to the Tombs of Hulda the Prophetess and the Tomb of the Prophets, Haggai, Malachi and Zacharia (see below for our last trip). This trip is extra special as we will be going on Chai Elul in the midst of the Days of Repentance. Feel free to forward prayer requests.
The 2010 Advanced Practitioner’s Group Begins
The new group of Advanced Practitioner studies began September 1st. This year’s group seems to be as wonderful as last years’ and should provide the community with an excellent resource of well-trained professionals.
Metamorphosis in Hebrew!
Heliotrope has been sharing Metamorphosis for a number of years by training practitioners. We had a wonderful summer that was highlighted by teaching a brand new group of only Hebrew speakers. Go girls!
The 2009 Advanced Practitioner’s Group Graduates!
One of my favorite times of the year is seeing a wonderful group of women celebrated for their achievements. Each year, Heliotrope presents one course especially for Practitioners. The training is a demanding full year and admission is very limited. Only attendees that prove their talent are certified at the end of the class. Each year, a different subject is presented. This year’s class had advanced training in a number of modalities using the human energy system.
I am pleased to present our graduates this year. I can attest that they are excellent practitioners in their original fields and in Energy Medicine.

Share our latest trip…
Our first stop was the burial place of Hulda the Prophetess. She prophesied to the women at the Beit Hamikdash (The First Temple) from 640-609 BCE, sitting at the entrance of what is now called the Hulda Gates. She was a trusted confidant to King Josiah. Her burial place is on the Mount of Olives, under a private Mosque. Her Tomb has a special dynamic. There are two other women that chose to be buried in the same place. Both were mystics and highly revered by their communities. One spent much of her life disguised as a priest, one was a whirling dervish. There is a common thread woven through their histories…. Come next time to find out what it is!
We then moved on to the Tomb of the Prophets Haggai, Zachariah, and Malachi on The Mount of Olives. They all lived during the time of the Babylonian Exile between 520-440 B.C.E. They prophesied and encouraged regarding the the rebuilding of Jerusalem and the restoration of worship in the Holy Temple.
We finished off a wonderful day by visiting the Hulda Gates in the Western Wall Archeological Garden and on to the Kotel (Western Wall) for our private prayers.
Many thanks to Tzipporah Heller, Licensed Tour Guide, for arranging this event. It was tricky as permission to visit these sites is difficult to arrange. She provided us with loads of wonderful history that made the sites more alive.
Shoshana Savyon provided the information about the spiritual significance of the sites and the unique opportunities available for each of us personally.
Proceeds of the trip benefited the Woman to Woman’s Fund.
