Bekah Starr Art

Sacred Artist, Teacher, and Spiritual Guide

Creativity as a Spiritual Practice

I create sacred art, immersive teaching experiences, and one-on-one spiritual mentorship
rooted in ancient wisdom and the longing to connect.

Bekah Starr is a sacred artist, educator, and ritualist devoted to creativity as a path of spiritual connection, healing, and return. Ordained as a Kohenet (Hebrew Priestess) in 2019, her work is rooted in ancient mystical teachings, drawing primarily from Jewish tradition, and she believes these ancient pathways hold gifts for anyone willing to walk them, regardless of their background or belief.

Her offerings live at the intersection of art, ritual, and the divine feminine, expressed through evolving creative practices and deeply human questions. She is the creator of The Creative Rest Studio, a traveling creative rest lounge, and leads the Beit Kohenet Arts Collective, a creative home for seekers exploring art as ritual, prayer, and revelation.

Through her teaching and mentorship, she invites others into creativity as a form of listening, to the self, to spirit, and to something larger moving through.

Bekah has spent over two decades teaching as an independent spiritual educator and creative facilitator, bringing her work to Jewish, interfaith, and earth-based communities across the country. Her teaching has been welcomed at gatherings including the Parliament of World Religions, the Kohenet Hebrew Priestess Institute, Romemu, and beyond.

Her visual art has been featured in juried exhibitions and is held in private collections. Each piece is created as an object of intention, healing, and spiritual companionship.

But her path began long before any formal role.

Bekah has been a spiritual seeker for as long as she can remember — drawn from childhood to questions of soul, memory, and the mysteries beneath the surface of ordinary life. Her grandmother passed away when Bekah was 14, yet her influence remains woven into the way Bekah understands presence, memory, and connection. Her mother, in particular, helped her trust her seeking nature, offering permission to stay in relationship with spirit.

Over the years, her path has woven through many forms of practice and exploration: Jewish mysticism, somatic and body-based practices, yoga as a spiritual discipline, ecstatic dance (which she now facilitates also), and respectful engagement with a range of earth-based and ancestral spiritual traditions. Living with bipolar disorder, she has come to understand creativity as a stabilizing force — a way to metabolize intensity, listen inward, and translate what is difficult to name into form. Each practice has offered her tools for presence, expression, and connection.

Everything she has walked through, she now offers as a doorway — creativity is not a talent but a threshold, and anyone is welcome to cross it.
