Digging into Earth-Based Judaism: A Six-Part Series

Sunday, September 22 to Sunday, November 10 @ 10:00 am to 12:30 pm

All Classes are from 10:00am - 12:30pm

Cost: $100 which includes all six classes (Limited number of full scholarships available. If a scholarship would help you come learn with us, please reach out directly to Rebecca Joy Fletcher:rebecca@coastalrootsfarm.org).

Let's dig into the spiritual revolution called Earth Based Judaism!

We invite you to dig into Earth Based Judaism -- for first-timers and returning students alike. Connect your heart with your head, your hands with the soil, and your questions with sacred texts as we dig into fundamental aspects of Earth-Based Judaism, including the four elements. Our goal: more joy, wisdom, and empowerment to be defenders of our earth.

In this new series we will gather in locations across the Farm, and our learning will include sacred texts, on-our-feet explorations, hearty conversation, and moments of quiet reflection. The class will be nourished by the connections we forge with each other as much as by the content we explore. We'll provide coffee, pastries and time to schmooze. This series is open to adults of all ages, identities, abilities and experience levels. You do not need to identify as Jewish to dig in and enjoy!
