Hike + Learn: Spiritual Grounding During the Omer

We’ll enjoy a hike in the great outdoors and then break for learning over snacks. We’ll explore the spiritual grounding and renewal practice of counting the Omer that takes place during the weeks between the festivals of Passover and Shavuot.

Beginning on the 2nd night of Passover, we count the Omer, for 49 days, until we arrive at the festival of Shavuot. Counting the Omer began as a count toward the spring harvest, and it has evolved into a spiritual accounting. The Omer is a period for introspection and personal growth, in preparation for receiving the Torah on Shavuot.

Hiking and learning in nature will provide us with an ideal setting for looking inward and discovering new places for us to stretch and grow. Everyone welcome, this will be a hike suitable for folks at various levels.
