The purpose of this website is to share the teachings of Marc Gafni. Marc Gafni has been a beloved wisdom teacher on the cutting edge for many years.
He has inspired many, comforted the afflicted, and afflicted the comfortable. He reflects back to people their most gorgeous selves, shares teachings of love, pricks egos, and calls others, by his very being, to truth and integrity. For some Marc is a teacher, for others a spiritual friend, for still others a spiritual artist, and for still others a revolutionary catalyst of social change and evolution.
In the words of one leading American spiritual teacher and second wave feminist, “Marc Gafni combines radical brilliance with a willingness to be vulnerable, and radical kindness with an ability to probe deeply into textsรขโฌโขliberating the light and challenging the shadows of the human heart.”
In his self-description, published several years ago in both his Hebrew and English books, Marc Gafni writes, “I, like every person, am a flawed yet ever evolving human being. I seek purification and healing, even as I delight in realization. I am a passionate lover of God, of people, of wisdom, and of all being. I am called to realize and help others to realize our potential for being the most gorgeous and unique manifestations of the divine, which is our true nature.” At this stage in his evolution, Marc Gafni seeks to merge the artistic sharing of wisdom with direct social action.

‘Better’ might mean more ethical, open, healthy Marc Gafni’s teaching is filled with love of people, love of God, and love of all of creation. It is also scholarly, hip, serious, deep, funny, profound, sometimes startlingly original, and always invested with the intent to transmit not only insight but also, and especially, an open heart. Marc Gafni’s life of teaching is perhaps best captured in the following words: – Hafiz ____________________ ืื ืชืืืื ืืืฆืื ืืืชืจ ืืฉื ื ืืืฉื; ืฉืืข, ืืืืื ืืืชืืื ืงืืจืกืื ืืชืื ืืฉื ื ืืฉื ื ืืืืฉื ืืืืืืืื ืขื ืืืจืื ืจืืื ืืื ืืืจืื ืืืืืืื ืชืคืืื, ืกืืคืืจืื, ืืืืืจืื ืื ืืืื ืื ืจืื ืืืฉื ืืช ืื โืืชืืืืืืโ, ืจืขืืื ืืช ืืืฉื ืืช ืืืชืคืชืืื ืืืื ืฉื ืืืจืง, ืฉืืื ืืืืืขืืชื. ืืฉื ืื ืืืคืืขื ืฉืืขืืจืื ืจืืื ืืืืฃ ืืืืืจืื ืืฉืจ ืืื ื ืืืืจืื ืขืื. ืืืื 2006 ืืืจืง ืืฉื ืืช ืืืื ืืืืจืื ืฆืืืืจืืช ืืืื ืชืงืืคื ืืจืืื ืฉื ืืื, ืืชืืื ื ืืช ืคื ืืืืช, ืืืจื ืืฉืืจืืจ.
