Qadishti "facilitate connections with the divine, celebrate life and love, and seek to heal the wounded hearts of individuals and communities. Our gifts include gentle hearts, open ears and minds, the written and spoken words, and healing touches."

Qadishti is a mode of sacred loving and s*xuality based on ancient Middle Eastern forms. The word Qadishti means "Holy Ones" and refers to the sacred temple prostitutes of antiquity.
