The Complete Tree of Life
with Evelynne Joffe
If you have ever stood at the edge of Kabbalah and wondered where to begin, this is the answer. Twenty-nine recorded classes, drawn directly from the Sefer Yetzirah, the Zohar, and depth psychology · taught by one of the most respected Kabbalists working in the English-speaking world. Taken together, the three courses give you the full Tree, end to end, in the order Joffe herself teaches it in her Melbourne workshops.
For thirty years, Evelynne Joffe has taught the Kabbalistic Tree of Life as a living map of consciousness. This program gathers her three foundational courses into a single course of study: the ten Sephirot, the twenty-two paths between them, and the Tarot that illuminates both.
What Students Are Saying
THE CURRICULUM
Three Courses, One Tree
The program is built around three of Evelynne’s foundational courses, originally taught separately and now gathered into a single course of study. Each course stands on its own. Together they cover the entire Tree of Life as a unified teaching · the foundation, the journeys between, and the Tarot that maps both.
01 Living the Tree of Life: The Sephirot
The foundation. Each of the ten Sephirot, from Malkuth at the foundation of physical existence to Kether at the crown, is explored as a living principle of consciousness · symbolically, psychologically, and through direct contemplative practice.
- The architecture of the Tree: three pillars, four worlds, the Lightning Flash of manifestation
- Each Sephirah’s divine name, archangel, planet, color, virtue, and shadow vice
- The pivotal teaching of Tiferet: the brick wall, the seduction of power, and the cost of stopping at the halfway point
- The Lamed Vavniks, the 36 hidden righteous ones who sustain the world from Chesed
- Da’at and the Abyss · the invisible Sephirah and the only path that crosses it
- The Tetragrammaton, the Bahir, the Zohar · the primary texts placed in their living context
02 Living the Tree of Life: The Paths
The connections. Where the Sephirot are the destinations, the paths are the journeys between them. Twenty classes, climbing the Tree from Path 32 to Path 11 · each path mapped to its Hebrew letter, its Yetziratic text, its Major Arcana card, its planet or element, and the body region it governs. For the 2026 Cohort, Evelynne joins Part 2 students for two live Q&As on Zoom · dates announced soon, both recorded.
- The three Mother Letters (Aleph, Mem, Shin) as the elements: Air, Water, Fire
- The Three Dark Nights of the Soul · Wisdom (Devil), Love (Temperance), Power (Death)
- The Pivot Path: the Hanged Man (Mem) as the surrender that breaks the brick wall
- The four rivers crossing the Abyss · Death, Fate, Royalty, and the Angelic Gateway
- Path 13, the second Dark Night · the longest path, alone in the desert, no guide
- The two “red herrings” Joffe finds in widely published correspondences, and what she teaches in their place
- Hebrew gematria, letter shapes, and the Sefer Yetzirah read alongside each path
03 Tarot on the Tree of Life
The integration. The complete Major Arcana mapped onto the Tree and taught in reverse · from the World back to the Fool · as the soul’s ascent from grounded matter into pure spirit. This is the class that brings the previous two together, and one of the most popular single classes ever taught at Global Spiritual Studies.
- The “Hanged Man perspective” · the reversed Fool’s Journey, World to Fool
- How each Major Arcana sits on the Tree and what its position reveals
- The Yods hidden in the Rider-Waite imagery and what they actually mean
- The Magician’s reversed arms, the World’s hidden hermaphrodite, and other deliberate symbols most students miss
- Reading Tarot through Kabbalistic structure rather than card-by-card memorization
Your Practice
What You'll Learn
Foundation
The architecture of the Tree
Master the complete structure: ten Sephirot, twenty-two paths, three pillars, four worlds, and the Lightning Flash of manifestation that runs through everything from a single thought to the creation of a universe.
Core Skill
The ten Sephirot as living principles
Move from Malkuth at your feet to Kether above your head, learning each Sephirah’s divine name, archangel, planet, colour, virtue, and shadow vice · the working vocabulary every serious Kabbalist uses for life.
Daily Practice
The Tree as a personal diagnostic
Use the Tree to identify imbalances in your own life through body, mood, or relationship · and apply the opposite Sephirah as the corrective. The single most practical tool in the entire program.
Intermediate
The twenty-two paths
Map every path to its Hebrew letter, Yetziratic text, Major Arcana card, body region, and astrological correspondence · twenty classes that turn the Tree from a static diagram into a living web you can walk.
The Heart of the Course
The Hanged Man Perspective
The complete Major Arcana mapped onto the Tree and taught in reverse · from the World back to the Fool · as the soul’s ascent from grounded matter into pure spirit. The class that turns twenty-two isolated cards into a coherent journey home, and changes how you read Tarot for life.
Advanced
Crossing the Abyss
Da’at the invisible Sephirah, the Sword Bridge that crosses it, and the three Dark Nights of the Soul · Wisdom (the Devil), Love (Temperance), and Power (Death). The territory most online Kabbalah courses never reach.
Refinement
Reading Tarot through the Tree
Stop reading the cards one at a time. The Major Arcana become a structured ascent, the Minor Arcana finally make sense numerologically, and the court cards take on tribal positions you can read at a glance. Most students report this is the change they did not expect.
What Students Are Saying
Who This Program Is For
You do not need Hebrew, a particular faith, or years of esoteric reading to begin. Evelynne opens by teaching you to draw the Tree, then grounds every idea in ordinary life, so a curious beginner finds firm footing early. And because the program runs the whole length of the Tree · the ten Sephirot, the twenty-two paths between them, and the Major Arcana climbing from the World back to the Fool · students who have circled Kabbalah for years will find the structure they were missing. Evelynne teaches the Tree as personal development rather than religious instruction: a map of consciousness you learn to read in your own life.
- Curious beginners who have felt the pull of the Tree of Life and want a real, sequenced way in, starting with drawing the Tree and climbing one Sephirah at a time from Malkuth to Kether
- Tarot readers going deeper who want to see where the cards live on the Tree: the Minor Arcana on the Sephirot, from the Tens on Malkuth to the Aces on Kether, and each Major Arcana card on its path
- Self-development seekers who want a practical map more than a doctrine, one that helps you notice where your life is out of balance and bring in the opposite Sephirah or path as the corrective
- Committed students of the esoteric ready to work through all twenty-two paths with their Hebrew letters, Yetziratic texts, and gematria, guided by one teacher from the first class to the last
What's Included
What You Get
Buying this program does not get you a course · it gets you a library. Twenty-nine recorded video classes, sixty-seven downloadable PDFs, three private course-group forums, three certificates, and multilingual subtitles · all gathered around a single teacher walking you class by class up the Tree. Most online Kabbalah courses hand you an overview. This hands you a curriculum to live with.
29 In-Depth Video Classes · over 20 hours of teaching, plus two recorded Sephirot Q&As and two live Paths Q&As for the 2026 Cohort
Eight classes on the Sephirot, twenty on the Paths, and one panoramic Tarot-on-the-Tree session · streamed in HD on the Global Spiritual Studies platform. Watch on any device, pause, rewind, rewatch as often as the practice deepens. Originally taught live to Evelynne’s Melbourne students and recorded class by class over the course of a year. Alongside the classes come the two recorded Sephirot Q&As and, for the 2026 Cohort, two live Paths Q&As with Evelynne on Zoom · dates announced soon, both recorded and added to the course.
29 Class Transcripts · the full text of every class, in PDF
The complete, professionally-transcribed text of every video class · searchable, printable, and yours to keep. Read alongside the video the first time through, then return to the transcript afterwards to find specific passages. Together with the videos they make this a lifelong reference, not just a series of recordings.
28 Per-Class Study Guides · one PDF for every class on the Sephirot and the Paths
A summary of every class’s key concepts, correspondences, and reflection prompts · so you can return to any class without rewatching the full video. Print them, mark them up, keep them in a folder beside your Tarot deck. The single most-used resource in the whole program, according to past students.
2 Personal Reflection Workbooks · PDF · one for the Sephirot, one for the Paths
Guided journalling exercises that turn the teaching into a personal practice. The workbooks walk you through the same self-mapping exercises Evelynne uses in her Melbourne workshops · the pie-chart of the personality triangle, the body-symptom diagnostic, the colour-wearing assignment, and more. This is where the Tree stops being abstract and starts becoming yours.
3 Quick Reference Cards · PDF · the Sephirot, the Paths, and the Tarot mapping
The Tree at a glance · all ten Sephirot with their correspondences, all twenty-two paths with their Hebrew letters and Major Arcana cards, and the complete Tarot-on-the-Tree map. Designed to print at A4, fold, and keep beside your Tarot deck. The cheat-sheet you wish you had had when you started studying.
Free companion resources: keep our free Kabbalah Tree of Life chart and free 22 Paths chart beside you as you study.
2 Glossaries with Reading Lists · PDF · the Sephirot, the Paths
Hebrew vocabulary, Kabbalistic terms, mythological references, and Evelynne’s recommended further reading · the keys you need to read deeper sources without getting lost. If you have ever opened the Zohar or the Sefer Yetzirah and felt locked out by the vocabulary, this is the resource that unlocks them.
3 Quizzes with Answer Keys · one for each course
Check your grasp of every Sephirah, every path, and the Tarot mapping before moving on · these are not graded, just for you. Each quiz is designed to surface the places where understanding is still loose, so you can return to the relevant class or transcript before building further on shaky ground. Evelynne’s own diagnostic for “have I really got this.”
Multilingual Subtitles · English + 10 translated languages
All 29 classes carry English captions plus professionally translated subtitles in ten more languages · Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese · ready to switch on inside the video player. Whether English is your first language or your fourth, Evelynne’s teaching is accessible.
Three Private Course-Group Forums · one for each course
Each of the three courses has its own private course-group forum inside the Global Spiritual Studies community · ask Evelynne and your fellow students questions, share your pathworking experiences, and read every discussion that has come before. The wider GSS community forum is also open to you · the place where serious Tarot and Kabbalah students from around the world discuss the work in depth.
Three Certificates of Completion · one for each course
A certificate of completion is issued for each of the three courses once you have worked through every class, bearing Evelynne Joffe’s name and the Global Spiritual Studies seal. Three courses, three certificates · suitable for printing, framing, or adding to your professional credentials as a Tarot reader or Kabbalah teacher.

Frequently Asked Questions
I'm a beginner. Will this be over my head?
No. Evelynne built this curriculum specifically so a complete beginner could follow it · she opens by teaching you to draw the Tree, then walks you Sephirah by Sephirah and path by path, with everyday examples (food, films, family dynamics) for every abstract concept. Students with thirty years of esoteric study still discover new layers, and students who have never opened a Kabbalah book find themselves grounded by Class 2. If anything in the material trips you up, the course-group forum is right there to ask.
Do I need to be Jewish, or religious at all?
No · these courses are open to students of every faith and background. Evelynne teaches Kabbalah as personal development and self-realisation through the Western Hermetic Qabalah and depth psychology, not as traditional Jewish religious instruction. She draws on Hebrew sources because they are the original sources, and the framework sits comfortably alongside Christian, Buddhist, pagan, agnostic, and secular practice. Kabbalah itself arose within Jewish mystical tradition, where views about who should study its deeper teachings have varied across communities and eras; if it is traditional Jewish Kabbalah you are seeking, we warmly encourage you to study with a qualified teacher within that lineage. The Tree is a map of consciousness · whose consciousness it maps is yours.
I read Tarot already. Will this actually change how I read?
Yes · this is the single most common piece of feedback from students who already read. The Major Arcana stop feeling like 22 isolated cards and start behaving like a structured ascent of the Tree. The Minor Arcana suddenly make sense numerologically (Aces on Kether, Twos on Chokmah, all the way down to Tens on Malkuth). The court cards take on tribal positions you can read at a glance. Most students report that within weeks of starting, the cards begin to read themselves differently and the spreads they have been doing for years start to open up.
Why pay for this when there is so much free Kabbalah content online?
Most free Kabbalah content online is one of three things: a 10-minute YouTube primer that covers the same surface introduction every other primer covers, content from a religious tradition you may or may not want to enter, or material so technical it assumes a background you do not yet have. Evelynne’s curriculum is what experienced students of the Tree wish they had been handed at the start · 29 sequenced classes that walk you through every Sephirah and every path with the same teacher, the same vocabulary, and the same practical exercises throughout. You are paying for the structure, not the information.
Are the classes live, or can I work at my own pace?
The classes are fully self-paced. They were originally taught live and have been recorded, edited, and made available on demand, so you watch when you want, pause when you want, and rewatch as often as you want. There is no expiry · lifetime access means the classes remain in your library for as long as you want to keep returning to them. And there is a live element too: the Paths 2026 Cohort’s two live Q&As with Evelynne are included in the program. They are held on Zoom, the dates are announced soon, and both sessions are recorded and added to the course, so nothing is lost if you cannot join live.
How much time should I plan to invest?
However much you have. The 29 classes, the two recorded Sephirot Q&A sessions, and the two live Paths Q&As for the 2026 Cohort come to more than twenty hours of teaching · one class per week takes you through the program in about seven months at a contemplative pace, two classes per week finishes in three. Most students do not race; they take a class, sit with it for a week, work the homework, and move on. The material rewards depth more than speed, and lifetime access removes any pressure to hurry.
Do the classes need to be taken in order?
No. Each course stands on its own. Most students begin with The Sephirot because it gives you the foundational vocabulary the other two build on, but if Tarot is what called you in, starting with Tarot on the Tree of Life and circling back is a perfectly good path. The program gives you all three permanently, so the order is yours to choose.
Why buy the program instead of starting with just one course?
Two reasons. First, the math: the program is $150 cheaper than buying the three separately, and the smallest of the three (Tarot on the Tree of Life) is effectively included for free. Second, the experience: students who buy one class almost always come back for the other two, because the Tree only fully opens up when you can see it from all three angles at once. The program is the result of years of watching that pattern play out and pricing it accordingly.
Is there a payment plan if $497 is too much right now?
Yes, six monthly payments of $89 ($534 total). The plan unlocks all 29 classes, transcripts, forums, and certificates from day one · you do not wait for the final payment to begin studying.
When does the program start? Do I have to wait for a cohort?
It starts the moment you enroll. There is no waiting list and no start date. As soon as your payment goes through, all 29 classes, all 29 transcripts, the syllabi, and the course-group forums become available in your account, and you can be watching Class 1 of The Sephirot within five minutes. You do not wait for a cohort, but you are welcome in one: the Paths 2026 Cohort’s two live Q&As with Evelynne are included, the dates are announced soon, and both sessions are recorded.
What if it turns out not to be for me?
Write to us within thirty days of enrollment and we will refund your purchase in full · no forms, no friction, no questions about why. We can offer a no-questions guarantee because almost nobody ever uses it; the students who enroll in this program tend to know what they are looking for, and the material delivers. But if it isn’t right for you, you don’t pay. The risk sits entirely with us.
