Join over 10,000 people who have discovered a deeper way of living through Elevation.

You know there is more.

More than simply getting through the days.

More than the constant noise inside your head.

More than the work that consumes your life.

More than the patterns that keep you stuck.

More than your past and your regrets.

More than the next podcast, meditation app, or life hack.

More than another breathwork session or psychedelic ceremony.

More than Instagram Kabbalah.

More than waking up to a world of constant distraction, division, and disconnection.

Transcend is an invitation to step outside the momentum of your life and discover what lies beyond the ordinary mind.

Not simply to believe there's a higher reality beyond the ordinary—

but to experience it directly.

Not simply to believe in the infinite potential of your own soul —

but to experience it directly.

It's time to discover
what lies beyond.

Elevation's largest retreat yet.

breakthroughs, and spiritual experiences

Rav Doniel Katz
Your Guide on The Journey

Meet Rav Doniel Katz

Following a profound spiritual awakening, Rav Doniel walked away from an award-winning career in film and theater in search of a deeper understanding of the experiences that had changed his life.

That search led him to Jerusalem, where he spent nearly three decades immersed in the study of Kabbalah, Torah, and Chassidus under some of the city's most revered rabbis and tzaddikim.

Today, he dedicates his life to making the experiential wisdom of authentic Kabbalah practical and accessible to all. Renowned for his rare ability to see deeply into the hearts of those he teaches, Rav Doniel has guided thousands through profound healing, spiritual awakening, and a radically new way of experiencing themselves, others, and the Divine.

Zohar✦Baal Shem Tov✦Rebbe Nachman✦Ha'Ari✦Ramak✦Rashash✦Avraham Abulafia✦Piaseczna Rebbe✦Baal HaTanya & Chabad✦and many others
Come exactly as you are

Ancient tradition,
now open to all.

Whether you've spent decades immersed in Kabbalah or you just Googled the word last week, you'll be welcomed exactly as you are.

Jewish and non-Jewish. Religious and secular. Beginner meditators and lifelong practitioners. Believers and skeptics. San Francisco psychonauts and yeshiva veterans. Boro Park Chassidim and modern seekers who've been to every retreat, seminar, and psychedelic circle out there—and still know there's something deeper.

Over four remarkable days, the labels that usually divide us finally dissolve, revealing how much we have always had in common.

Not just a retreat — a turning point

What you'll leave with

Transcend isn't designed to create four extraordinary days that disappear the moment you return home. It's designed to permanently change the way you experience yourself, your relationships, and the world around you.

01The Experiences You'll Never Forget

Some of the deepest and most transformative moments of your life—profound experiences of clarity, love, healing, connection, and spiritual awakening that continue to shape you long after the retreat ends.

02The Breakthroughs That Change Your Life

A radically new understanding of the struggles you've been facing, why they've appeared, and what they're here to teach you. You'll leave feeling that emotional burdens you've carried for years have become dramatically lighter—or, for many, have fallen away altogether—replaced by a profound sense of freedom, clarity, and peace.

03The Practical Tools You'll Use Every Day

A complete toolkit of powerful Kabbalistic meditation practices to navigate stress, relationships, purpose, prayer, suffering, and the challenges of everyday life with greater peace, resilience, and presence.

04The Community That Walks With You Afterward

Lifelong friendships with extraordinary people who genuinely understand your journey, together with ongoing support through the Elevation community so your growth continues long after you return home.

The retreat ends when you go home. Your journey doesn't.

Through Elevation Mastery—our new online program and app—you can continue learning with Rav Doniel Katz and the team through guided meditations, live classes, integration resources, and a global community, helping you deepen your practice and bring the retreat into everyday life long after it ends.

The heart awakens here

A once-in-a-lifetime deep dive

Are you ready for it?

Looking for a relaxing mindfulness getaway?
This probably isn't it.

Transcend is a once-in-a-lifetime deep dive for those hungry for a next-level spiritual experience.

Our days — beginning early at 6:30 am and continuing until around 8:30 pm — are intentionally immersive: sunrise Kabbalah sessions, guided meditations, healing workshops, live music, integration circles, deep conversations, tears, hugs, and plenty of laughter.

Yes, it's intensive. You'll be stretched. You'll be challenged.

But you'll also find yourself held within an atmosphere that's warm, fun, magical, deeply human, and profoundly empowering.

Perhaps most importantly, you're encouraged to listen to your body, honor your own process, and move at the pace that feels right for you.

Retreat Overview

What to Expect, Day by Day

Day 01 — Set the Field01
Day 01 · Intention · Kavanah

Set the Field

Go beneath the surface of your life and uncover what you're truly seeking from these four days. The clearer your intention, the deeper your transformation.
Discover the hidden architecture of human consciousness and the revolutionary convergence of science and Kabbalah—building the foundation for everything that follows.
Through shared vulnerability, group connection, and a powerful opening meditation, you'll establish the collective field of intention from which the entire retreat unfolds.
Day 02 — Ascend Beyond the Ordinary02
Day 02 · Ascension · Deveikus

Ascend Beyond the Ordinary

Learn practical meditative techniques to quiet the mind, ascend the ladder of consciousness, and enter profound states of peace, unconditional love, heightened intuition, and Divine connection.
For many, this is the day extraordinary experiences begin.
Day 03 — Transmuting Darkness Into Light03
Day 03 · Transformation · Tikkun HaMiddos

Transmuting Darkness Into Light

Having entered expanded states of awareness, you'll discover Kabbalah's approach to healing from the top down—bringing fear, trauma, and old patterns into the light of higher intelligence to be transmuted, rather than carrying them alone.
Through powerful techniques and Kabbalah's deepest teachings on suffering and purpose, you'll discover one of Kabbalah's greatest truths: there is no darkness that we can't transform into light.
We call this “Breakthrough Day.” For many, they will experience the deepest breakthroughs of their lives.
Day 04 — Bring Heaven Down to Earth04
Day 04 · Transcendence · Ein Od Milvado

Bring Heaven Down to Earth

Before dawn, we rise together for the culmination of the retreat. You'll ascend through worlds, angelic realms, and ever-deeper levels of consciousness toward the Source of all reality—entering what, for many, will be one of the highest spiritual experiences of their lives.
As the day unfolds, you'll discover how to carry those transcendent states into every part of life—seeing the Divine in others, transforming your relationships, discovering the sacredness of eating in divine awareness, and experiencing everyday life through entirely new eyes.
The retreat concludes with a closing celebration, integration, and meditation, carrying that light back to your family, your community, and the future you're here to create.

Hover each day to explore

While these four days provide the framework, no two Transcend retreats are ever exactly the same. Rather than following a fixed script, Rav Doniel attunes to the unique questions, struggles, intentions, and collective energy of the room, drawing down exactly what the group needs most. The result is a unique and deeply personal experience, created for the people who are there.

Meet Rav Doniel Katz

Following a profound spiritual awakening, Rav Doniel walked away from an award-winning career in film and theater in search of a deeper understanding of the experiences that had changed his life.

That search led him to Jerusalem, where he spent nearly three decades immersed in the study of Kabbalah, Torah, and Chassidus under some of the city's most revered rabbis and tzaddikim.

Today, he dedicates his life to making the experiential wisdom of authentic Kabbalah practical and accessible to all.

You'll leave feeling that emotional burdens you've carried for years have become dramatically lighter—or, for many, have fallen away altogether—replaced by a profound sense of freedom, clarity, and peace.

03The Practical Tools You'll Use Every Day+

A complete toolkit of powerful Kabbalistic meditation practices to navigate stress, relationships, purpose, prayer, suffering, and the challenges of everyday life with greater peace, resilience, and presence.

04The Community That Walks With You Afterward+

Lifelong friendships with extraordinary people who genuinely understand your journey, together with ongoing support through the Elevation community so your growth continues long after you return home.

Through Elevation Mastery—our new online program and app—you can continue learning with Rav Doniel Katz and the team through guided meditations, live classes, integration resources, and a global community, helping you deepen your practice and bring the retreat into everyday life long after it ends.

The heart awakens here

A once-in-a-lifetime deep dive

Are you ready for it?

Looking for a relaxing mindfulness getaway?
This probably isn't it.

Transcend is a once-in-a-lifetime deep dive for those hungry for a next-level spiritual experience.

Our days — beginning early at 6:30 am and continuing until around 8:30 pm — are intentionally immersive: sunrise Kabbalah sessions, guided meditations, healing workshops, live music, integration circles, deep conversations, tears, hugs, and plenty of laughter.

Yes, it's intensive. You'll be stretched. You'll be challenged.

But you'll also find yourself held within an atmosphere that's warm, fun, magical, deeply human, and profoundly empowering.

Perhaps most importantly, you're encouraged to listen to your body, honor your own process, and move at the pace that feels right for you.

Retreat overview

What to Expect, Day by Day

01
Day 01 · Intention · Kavanah

Set the Field

Go beneath the surface of your life and uncover what you're truly seeking from these four days. The clearer your intention, the deeper your transformation.
Discover the hidden architecture of human consciousness and the revolutionary convergence of science and Kabbalah—building the foundation for everything that follows.
Through shared vulnerability, group connection, and a powerful opening meditation, you'll establish the collective field of intention from which the entire retreat unfolds.
02
Day 02 · Ascension · Deveikus

Ascend Beyond the Ordinary

Learn practical meditative techniques to quiet the mind, ascend the ladder of consciousness, and enter profound states of peace, unconditional love, heightened intuition, and Divine connection.
For many, this is the day extraordinary experiences begin.
03
Day 03 · Transformation · Tikkun HaMiddos

Transmuting Darkness Into Light

Having entered expanded states of awareness, you'll discover Kabbalah's approach to healing from the top down—bringing fear, trauma, and old patterns into the light of higher intelligence to be transmuted, rather than carrying them alone.
Through powerful techniques and Kabbalah's deepest teachings on suffering and purpose, you'll discover one of Kabbalah's greatest truths: there is no darkness that we can't transform into light.
We call this “Breakthrough Day.” For many, they will experience the deepest breakthroughs of their lives.
04
Day 04 · Transcendence · Ein Od Milvado

Bring Heaven Down to Earth

Before dawn, we rise together for the culmination of the retreat. You'll ascend through worlds, angelic realms, and ever-deeper levels of consciousness toward the Source of all reality—entering what, for many, will be one of the highest spiritual experiences of their lives.
As the day unfolds, you'll discover how to carry those transcendent states into every part of life—seeing the Divine in others, transforming your relationships, discovering the sacredness of eating in divine awareness, and experiencing everyday life through entirely new eyes.
The retreat concludes with a closing celebration, integration, and meditation, carrying that light back to your family, your community, and the future you're here to create.

While these four days provide the framework, no two Transcend retreats are ever exactly the same. Rather than following a fixed script, Rav Doniel attunes to the unique questions, struggles, intentions, and collective energy of the room, drawing down exactly what the group needs most. The result is a unique and deeply personal experience, created for the people who are there.
