Valerie de Roca is the co-founder and executive director of Kodesh House, a grassroots Jewish organization and entheogenic spiritual center. Together with her husband, Rabbi Marc Philippe, she shares a Jewish approach to expanded states of consciousness through psychedelics.
From her early days as an agent for fashion photographers in Paris to CEO of a French corporation, and later as the owner of a corporate event planning company, Valerie’s life has been an ever-evolving journey. After leaving the corporate world, she embraced her role as rebbetzin, dedicating herself to synagogue life and the Jewish community. Valerie provided spiritual support through kind words, home-cooked meals, and her deep connection to Judaism. A transformative psilocybin journey inspired Valerie to explore the intersection of Jewish spirituality and psychedelics. She has since studied psychedelic integration and facilitation, developing ceremonies and practices to guide the Jewish community toward healing and growth. |
Rabbi Marc-Philippe is a spiritual artist, mystical musician, and integrator for psychedelic-assisted therapy. A former classical musician and conductor in Paris, he became a Chazzan while studying at Yeshiva Yad Mordechai and serving as music director at the Main Synagogue in Paris. He later received rabbinical ordination from Yeshiva Toras Israel, also known as Diaspora Yeshiva, in Jerusalem.
Co-founder of Kodesh House, he also serves as rabbi at Temple Israel in Manchester, NH, located on the ancestral land of the Abenaki. Passionate about Jewish mysticism, Chassidut, and energy healing, he integrates ancient wisdom with modern therapeutic techniques, including hypnosis and psychedelic therapy. Rabbi Marc-Philippe is a graduate of Vital’s psychedelic therapy and integration training and is writing a book on past life regressions and aligning with one’s highest purpose through Jewish spirituality. |
