Testimonials

It was
truly a delight meeting Nina and working
with her. Based on the name of Nina's
class, "Conscious Creation," I knew I was
in for a treat. There are many things
that I want in my life but have been
unable to manifest them up until now. Her
course taught me the steps I need to take
to make things happen.
I learned
all of the steps from the first inkling of a
desire all the way through taking action on the
plans that were developed. This is the most
comprehensive training of this sort that I have
taken and it is having a profound impact in my
life.

"The Priestess Practice" is an empowering
experience that no Jewish woman should miss. Nina
helped me to take new steps along the priestess
path. I truly feel that I’ve become a kohenet
through her classes.

Nina's presentation on creating
sacred space was a reawakening for me. Her talk
gave me a nudge and reconnected me with the
spiritual side of Shabbat, bringing it to the
forefront of my mind. And so began another journey
of awareness that ebbed and flowed landing me in a
space where my soul yearns for the connection again
with Shabbat. I walk with God consciously, but I
was grateful for the reminder, the wake-up call, if
you will, of bringing the two
together."

I attended Nina’s inspiring
workshop on developing a meaningful practice. Her
personal example of lighting candles on Shabbat
taught me how life-changing a simple, consistent,
beautiful act can be. It stuck! |

In Nina Amir's workshop, "The Kabbalah of Conscious
Creation," we were able to take a desire and follow
step-by-step a process to manifest it. I especially
appreciated the Kabbalistic perspective of the four
worlds as a format. The thought-provoking questions
in each step help to sort out what’s working and
what one needs to shift. It was time well
spent. |

Nina brings a grounded spirituality
to her work and a deeply centered sense of how the
pieces of the universe connect in the spirit and
service of the Divine. Her mediations inspire,
fulfill, surprise, and ultimately satisfy us by
showing our place within a world that is constantly
recreated anew.

I have participated in several events led by Nina
Amir. Nina leads guided meditations that are deeply
moving. She is very articulate and uses vivid
imagery that really inspires my imagination. She
always has a very calm and soothing manner when she
speaks. I highly recommend her for any activity
that involves public speaking or
leadership.

Nina is serious in her devotion to Jewish learning
and Jewish life. She is knowledgeable in several
aspects of Jewish Mysticism and Kabbalah. She led a
Kabbalah study group at Etz Chaim for several years
and taught a Jewish meditation series, for which
she wrote the guided meditations. She has taught
sessions at our congregation's family retreat with
confidence and enthusiasm. She has been the keynote
speaker for our congregation's Sisterhood Shabbat,
and has taught in our religious school. Her
programming ideas have been innovative and thought
provoking.
