Spirituality in Nature
with Leanne Grossman
Tap into your spiritual essence through the peace of being in nature. Join naturalist Leanne Grossman on a two-mile hike through the woods and environment surrounding Bort Meadow. An easy to moderate up and down trail. Kids welcome. We will meet in the meadow right behind the bathrooms. Bring water. Wear sturdy shoes.
Dancing with the Divine Feminine
with Rabbi Shifra Tobacman
It’s Shabbat. It’s Renewal. It’s the Kehilla Retreat. It’s Shekhina Time! Join us for a co-creative hour of spiritual and liturgical exploration, as we rest more deeply into the beauty of Bort Meadow, and consider what Divine Presence is for us when viewed through the lens of feminist, feminized and other-gendered Jewish expressions of our connection to Spirit/God/Goddess/One-ness. Open to people of all genders!

Drawing from Nature
with Leah Korican
Drawing is a wonderful way to deeply connect with the visual world. We will take our inspiration from the landscape around us; zooming in on details or meditating on a larger landscape. No prior experience is necessary. You will be gently guided in techniques for seeing and drawing whether you draw all the time or have not drawn since kindergarten. All ages are welcome.
