FROM THE CIRCLE. PARTICIPANTS ARE SAYING
Breathwork Workshop August 2025
What is Breath Painting?
Breath Painting is a unique meditative art practice that combines Torah, meditation, breath, and color. Instead of focusing on technique or perfection, Breath Painting invites you to let each inhale and exhale guide your brush across the page.
With every breath, a new shade or stroke emerges — reflecting not just your emotions, but the deeper rhythms of your soul. Through this process, painting becomes more than art: it becomes a prayer, a meditation, and a release.
In Breath Painting, your brush is not a tool for control, but an extension of the Infinite Light — Ohr Ein Sof — guided by Hashem. The canvas becomes the open potential to express your soul, to reveal colors and movements that flow from a place beyond the mind.
Breath Painting is rooted in Torah teachings and in Torah HaTzeva — a unique Torah-based color theory developed by Rachel Leah Weiman. Drawing on her background in fine art and her intensive study in NYC with a top color theorist, a student of Josef Albers — the foremost color theorist of the 20th century, Rachel Leah has integrated the classical color knowledge of the three dimensions of color, intertwined with Pnimiut Torah and Chassidic sources. These include the teachings of the Ramak, Rav Kook, and Rav Yitzchak Ginsburgh.
The practice is further grounded in breathwork based on the teachings of the Bilvavi Mishkan Evneh, guiding participants to connect inner breath with Divine awareness.
Emerging out of her past several years of teaching, practicing, and learning Jewish Meditation and Pnimiut Torah, Rachel Leah has woven together these pathways — Torah, meditation, breath, and color — into a sacred creative process that allows each soul to express its inner light.

TESHUVA FOR DARKNESS
This painting radiates exactly what we explored in Class 3 of Torat HaTzeva — how adding black transforms a color by revealing its צל / shadow.
The spirals of green, blue, and yellow are alive with both light and depth. The swirls of darker pigment aren’t a flaw, but a revelation: they give the luminous tones their strength. Without shade, color floats; with shade, it dances.
In this work, the soul is painting its own teshuva — not only thanking Hashem for the light but also bowing in gratitude for the shadow. The צל / tzel reminds us of גבורה / Gevurah, the courage to face what is hidden, to honor the limits, the contrasts, the pauses.
As the מאור עיניים teaches: the אין סוף, Infinite Light, clothes itself in צבע / color and צל / shadow. Here we see that teaching embodied: the infinite becoming visible in gradations, hues, and depths.
Goldie Michal’s painting shows this courage — facing the black, letting it mix with the radiant colors, and revealing the wholeness that only emerges when both light and shadow are welcomed as teachers.
✨ Whisper with the painting:
“זו גבורתי” — this is my strength.

lTHE BRUSH IN MY HAND WAS AN EXTENSION OF MY NESHAMA"
BreathPainting …
It is hard to put into words the experience of the FLOW during the class. Each meditation and each step, like taking the brush in my hand as an extension of my Neshama opened up more and more light inside me.
Just being curious and allowing , trusting the process and watching the outcome was witnessing the deepest GEMS .
Thank you Rochel Leah for bringing your desire to share this with us.
You will be held in a circle of Torah, embodiment, and color— a sacred circle of woment, preparing together to meet the King in the Field….
This is the field. This is the canvas. This is your return.
Come paint your way into the New Year.
SOMATIC MOVEMENT TO THE LETTER OF THE MONTH
I embrace the ט !
״Today I had the most beautiful gift of doing some breathwork painting. Painting with my breath. Breath Painting. it was unbelievable. With our breath we created the letter tet ט in all of its magnificence and glory. Beginning by envisioning it in our womb space, as a samech ס and then bringing it up into our forehead, deep within our moach / mind. And then bringing it into our Love Space, our Heart.
Then I painted it. It was a revelation of Hashem’s great and revealed mercy.״

What Is Creative Hitbodedut?
Art as prayer.
Breath as vessel.
Color as healing.
Through Torah, movement, and brush, we return to presence—And let our yearning meet the page.
I need more of this …Community & Right Brain Processing.
Allowing the expression of our soul that comes out in the art… I look forward to more indepth classes, to able to exude that with strength and softness simultaneously. To radiate this into the world. I believe this practice will make this happen. I’ve done alot of work of integrating dark and lght, and creating grey in my life and I think its time to have more of this embodied experienc and radiate that out. I welcome more and more of this.
