The TorahTrek Center for Jewish Wilderness Spirituality contributes to vibrant Jewish communities, living in balance with their neighbors and environs, by exposing Judaism's roots in wilderness, facilitating direct experience of the Divine in nature, demonstrating the effectiveness of Judaism as a spiritual practice, and fostering the spiritual growth of individual Jews and Jewish communities. Through leadership training and curriculum development, TorahTrek envisions a Jewish community that takes full advantage of the natural world in mainstream Jewish education for children, youth and adults. As the love of God’s creation pervades the Jewish community, more and more Jews will serve the Holy One by practicing sustainable living and working for a sustainable society.
If you feel called to Judaism, wilderness and spirituality, check out our leadership training program! Over a two-year period, participants gather for four wilderness retreats. Inbetween, they develop their personal practice, study together via social media, and hone their skills as outdoor educators. TorahTrek Guides lead hikes and retreats around the world, and become leaders in the growing Jewish Wilderness Spirituality movement.
Beginning in January, 2012.
