Israeli-born mythologist, storyteller and founder of Storahtelling, Amichai
Lau-Lavie has been celebrating ancient ceremonies in modern garb since 1998. Hailed by Time Out NY as an 'iconoclastic mystic' and as 'one of the most interesting thinkers in the Jewish world' by NY Jewish Week, Amichai is a Synagogue 2000 fellow, a consultant to the Reboot Network and the recipient of a Joshua Venture Fellowship award 2002-2004.
Eve Ilsen is a therapist, teacher, storyteller and singer. Her work integrates spirituality with psychology, myth, body and artistic expression. In addition to her own teaching and performing, since 1987 she has co-led seminars and liturgical events all over the world with her husband, Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi.
Ben Cohen has been playing the piano since he was a young child. He currently leads a Denver klezmer band, The Klez Dispensers for which he plays accordion, bass and tenor banjo. He is one of the few serious steel drum players in town and pretty much the only serious lute player!
