What happens on a TorahTrek Hiking Retreat?
Hiking is combined with activities that explore the connection between inner and outer geography, between Jewish tradition and the natural world. Issues and topics in spiritual practice, such as God, prayer and ethics, are engaged by TorahTrek guide Rabbi Mike Comins. Typical activities include meditative hiking, the study of Jewish sources and modern Jewish thought, song, traditional and personal prayer, and hitbodedut (alone time for spiritual purpose). For a preview of the TorahTrek approach to Jewish spirituality in wilderness, see Rabbi Comins article, “Wilderness Spirituality” and his book, A Wild Faith.
