In this week’s episode of Underneath the Underneath, Yocheved explores Parshat Terumah and the radical invitation to build a sanctuary: more than ancient architecture, but as living blueprint for how we create space within ourselves.

Why does God ask for willing hearts? Why does sanctuary begin with agency? What kind of structure allows light to enter without overwhelming the vessel?

Drawing from her research on collapsed and restored space, Yocheved weaves Torah and trauma-integrating wisdom to explore three essential qualities of spiritual spaciousness: the restoration of will, the power of relational witnessing, and the sacred permission to exist.

The Mishkan is not merely a building. It is a spiritual technology. It is how we learn to hold light — gently, sustainably, together.

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.
