What is the
School of Images<sup>TM</sup>

The School of ImagesTM (or SOI) is dedicated to teaching the Kabbalah of Light, the dream and revelatory techniques of the ancient Hebrews.
Its mission is to advance awareness of Imagination as the foremost language for instantaneous insight and transformation. The School, founded by Dr. Catherine Shainberg in 1982 and registered as a non-profit in 2005, teaches the pathways to access the forgotten source of the Imagination within to cleanse, revivify and motivate the individual

Mission

The Mission of the School of ImagesTM is to teach the use of the Imagination for creativity, healing, and transformation.
Our goal is for people of all languages and creeds to practice imagery. It is our belief that this global language has the power to unite all peoples while healing each individual's potential.

Background and
Lineage

The School of ImagesTM derives its methods from early Jewish, Sephardic and Mediterranean sources. Our direct lineage dates back to two Kabbalists, Isaac the Blind of Provence and Rabbi Jacob Ben Sheshet of Gerona, Spain, who lived and practiced Kabbalah in the thirteenth century. Their direct descendant, Madame Colette Aboulker-Muscat, adapted these ancient methods to meet the needs of contemporary, global society.

In line with our predecessors, The School of ImagesTM's work is experiential. The practice is pure Kabbalah (Kabbalah means "receiving"), in that one "receives" from their inner gazing. Thus, the brand of Kabbalah taught at SOI is not an arcane, difficult system to access, but an exploration of the imaginal field whose language is common to people of all denominations. The imagery exercises practiced at SOI are peerless tools for instantaneous vision, transformation and healing.
