  international touring musician\, recording artist\, and the musical direc
 tor of “Chochmat Ha’Lev\,” a Jewish renewal spiritual center. Lior h
 as always viewed music as more than entertainment. For Lior\, it’s also 
 been a profound source of healing. So when he left his native Israel in 20
 09 to study in California\, it was to deepen his understanding of music as
  a vehicle for transformation.\nAs a student at the California Institute o
 f Integral Studies\, Lior enrolled in the Voice\, Sound and Healing Music 
 Program. He also explored the field of body-oriented psychotherapy\, atten
 ding the Hakomi Institute of California. Lior broadened his scope by worki
 ng with a wide range of spiritual organizations\, teachers\, and artists\,
  including Patti Cathcart (Tuck and Patty)\, Roshi Norman Fisher\, Joanna 
 Macy\, Starhawk\, and Jennifer Berezan.\n\nLior set about employing music 
 as a tool for peacemaking and\, in 2014\, released his debut album “Lior
  Tsarfaty & The Prayer Songs Project\,” which brought together Israeli\,
  Moroccan\, Indian\, Canadian\, and American musicians in perfect harmony.
  His second album\, “I Am You\,” is a collaboration between 35 Israeli
  and Palestinian musicians. His most recent album “In My Ancestors’ Ar
 ms” is a tribute to his Jewish heritage.\n\nOver the years\, Lior has us
 ed the healing power of music to make a difference for the homeless\, chil
 dren\, hospice patients\, and elders. Lior developed a unique and successf
 ul method of working musically with Alzheimer's patients. His groundbreaki
 ng work is featured in the film "There is a Place."\n\nRabbi Zac Kamenetz 
 is a rabbi and community leader based in Berkeley\, CA.  As the founder an
 d CEO of Shefa\, Zac is leading a movement to integrate safe and supported
  psychedelic use into the Jewish spiritual tradition\, advocating for the 
 healing of individual and inherited traumas\, and inspiring a Jewish relig
 ious and creative renaissance in the 21st century. He is a qualified instr
 uctor of MBSR and is trained in psychedelic-assisted psychotherapeutic car
 e through Inbodied Life and the Hakomi Institute of Northern California.\n
