with Hadar Cohen and Karina Bashir

What does it mean to be present with the Divine Feminine? Where has it been overlooked in our traditions, and how might we reframe our spiritual lives to reflect its power and wisdom?
In this interactive workshop, Hadar Cohen and Karina Bashir come together to explore the Divine Feminine through the spiritual lineages of Judaism and Islam. We’ll draw on poetry, scripture, history, and personal experience to reconnect with the feminine aspects of the Divine—often hidden, yet always present.
Together, we’ll explore:
– Feminine names and qualities of the Divine in Hebrew and Arabic
– Reframing religion through a feminine lens: body, intuition, and relationship
– Practices and rituals that deepen our spiritual lives through the Feminine
Karina and Hadar will both share their personal journeys of building relationships with God through feminine spirituality. The session will include space for reflection, dialogue, and a Q&A at the end.
Open to all who seek a deeper connection to the Divine through Jewish and Islamic pathways.

Karina Bashir is a teacher, advocate, and thought leader exploring the intersections of Islamic mysticism, healing, and social justice. She draws from her lived experiences across the Islamic world — including time in Turkey, Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan, Morocco, Tunisia, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Oman, and Bahrain — where she deepened her relationship to Islamic spirituality, particularly the Sufi mysticism tradition. Her work engages the feminine aspects of the Divine in Islam and continues to evolve at the meeting point of sacred practice, inner transformation, and collective liberation, with a vision for restoring these lineages as living, embodied sources of healing.
Karina’s commitment to healing is rooted in nearly a decade of work in international human rights, which shaped her belief that access to mental health and healing is a fundamental human right. She seeks opportunities to explore how Islamic thought and psychedelic traditions intersect, believing that these medicines can be a bridge for spiritual and psychological healing within Muslim communities. Her work and advocacy aim to uplift Islamic mysticism, exploring how these ancient traditions can inform and shape healing practices within the broader wellness community.
In her legal practice, Karina is counsel with Antithesis Law, where she advises on matters related to business and regulatory matters, including corporate formation, ethics, regulatory compliance, contracts, and risk mitigation. She also serves as Program Director at North Star, supporting the development of values-driven industry standards, and sits on the Board of the Psychedelic Bar Association where she is a steward of its Religious Use Committee. Karina is a Fulbright Scholar and Gates Cambridge Scholar, and holds a J.D. from UC Berkeley and an M.Phil. from the University of Cambridge.
