Rebekah Erev

I am an artist and a kohenet, Hebrew priestexx. I am a feminist, queer, disabled dream worker, healer, activist and teacher. In my work I collaborate with unseen and seen beings to make art and ritual with the intention to collaborate with benevolent beings to heal earth and restore a sense of humyn belonging to her. I offer classes and workshops to help people manifest their most true expressions : to live an embodied life, listening to the wisdom in their bones and spirit. I also make objects and create public ritual as performance / ceremony.

My work invokes the scholarship of re-remembering as relevant, immediate and anti-colonialist in it’s nature. I practice and teach a Judaism steeped in the old ways, ancestral and earth reverence. I’m inspired and guided by Indigenous self-determination, abolition, Disability Justice and Black liberation movements. My work is in service to a time when the hum of bees rule the land and those who have historically been most oppressed, guide our collective healing rites.

I hold a Master in Teaching from The Evergreen State College and over twenty years of teaching experience. In 2014 I co-founded a two year collective art school, DIY Art School that met in public libraries. I completed: The Power of Embodied Transformation: Live Online Coach Training with Coaches Rising and Strozzi Institute in 2020.

I’m currently co-creating a global community, advocacy tool and art practice:  Queer Mikveh Project. We are using the Jewish ritual of mikveh as a conduit for enlivening the magic of water and following the lead of indigenous people in their work for water safety. I also collaborate on a project visioning olam haBa, Dreaming the World to Come with Nomy Lamm and many other contributors. I am the creator of the Moon Angels / Malakh Halevanah Oracle Deck and the forthcoming Golden Oracle.

I am honored to live on the occupied lands of the Squaxin, Chehalis, and Nisqually by the Salish Sea in Olympia, WA, the original village of the Steh-chass people.
