Passover in the Desert
A Personal Journey in Community
Wednesday, April 11 through Sunday, April 15, 2012

Please join us in co-creating our fifth annual Passover pilgrimage
to the southern California desert! Registration is Open.

Passover calls on us to free ourselves from the narrow places in our lives and reminds us that true liberation is a community experience… no one is truly free until we are all free.

Our experience in the desert embodies simplicity, connection, tribe and transformation. We’ll leave our electronic devices at home as we make Exodus to the rugged desert wilderness, experiencing the joy and abundance of living, eating, singing, and praying together in the blooming spring desert.

During the festival you can choose from optional offerings including all types of Shabbat services, music, yoga, movement, text-based classes, and you’ll participate in smaller group gatherings with a “tribe” that build towards a guided wilderness solo experience.  Breakfast and dinner are served communally and there is plenty of time to connect with friends new and old and for your own personal exploration in this powerful landscape.

Please note that this year Wilderness Torah will provide delicious, local, organic, kosher communal meals for breakfast and dinner.  Please bring your own simple food for picnic lunches. We will have a great snack table as always. We WILL provide water this year, so no need to bring your own!

Everyone is welcome at Wilderness Torah events. We create pluralistic, multi-generational community celebrations to reconnect us to the earth-based traditions of Judaism. Participants should be comfortable in the outdoors and committed to a shared group experience. Prior camping experience is recommended. Please join us to learn about and celebrate the holiday of Passover!  Please see our Holy Day Observance page for info about Chag Observance.
