TBE In The Trees: Text & Practice in Nature (In Person)

Attend any or all of the following opportunities to experience the natural world through a Jewish lens with your TBE community. All sessions meet at a location to be determined; feel free to bring a snack. The experience is geared towards adults, but younger learners comfortable with that level are welcome.

July 18: Wooded stroll and text study (Rabbi Vanessa Harper) — Enjoy an easy stroll in nature while walking through the study of a Jewish text together. The paths we will be on during the program will be accessible, with options to take more difficult trails if a greater challenge is desired. Maps and trail details coming soon!

August 1: Watercolor painting (Hannah Kearney) — Focus on noticing colors and shapes that we see in nature with an eye towards a deeper sense of awareness of and connection to creation. Bring a picnic blanket or towel to sit on. No artistic experience is necessary!

August 22: Mindfulness (Hannah Kearney) — Engage in a series of different mindfulness practices enhanced by being in the natural world, including walking, guided meditation, hitbodedut. The paths we will be on during the program will be accessible, with options to take more difficult trails if a greater challenge is desired. Maps and trail details coming soon!

The experience is geared towards adults, but younger learners comfortable with that level are welcome.
