Maayan Hatum
Discovering Depth and Meaning in Jewish Contemplative Traditions
Maayan Hatum was founded as a centre dedicated to exploring the rich tapestry of Judaism’s contemplative traditions. Our journey began as a publisher on the ecstatic Kabbalah, and a forum for delving into its profound practices and teachings that have inspired generations. Over time, our work has grown to embrace a broader spectrum of Jewish learning and practice, now spanning retreats, haburot (study circles), workshops, personal coaching, and mentorship for those seeking depth, connection, and spiritual growth.
Our Approach
At Maayan Hatum, we are rooted in traditional Jewish meditation, contemplation, and the pursuit of personal and spiritual development. Our explorations reach across the ages—from the Hasidei Mitzrayim (the Maimonidean Sufis) and the flourishing Hasidic movement, to the transformative Mussar schools and the diverse streams of Kabbalistic thought. We value the wisdom of the past while thoughtfully integrating modern insights from mindfulness practice and psychology, ensuring our offerings are relevant and accessible to all.
What We Offer
- Immersive retreats in beautiful, nurturing settings
- Haburot — small study groups fostering dialogue and learning
- Courses on Judaism’s core contemplative traditions
- Workshops on meditation, spiritual resilience, and wellbeing
- Personal coaching and mentorship for each person’s unique journey
Our Vision
One of our central tenets is that Judaism should be a source of resilience, wellbeing, and true flourishing. We believe in an embodied and meaningful spiritual life—one that supports both individual and communal thriving. Through our programmes, we invite you to discover ancient pathways of wisdom, and to cultivate practices that bring greater purpose, connection, and joy to everyday life.
