Shabbat Retreat in Nature

The Shabbat Retreat in Nature is a weekend of Judaism outdoors in the woods and will include Kabbalat Shabbat beneath the sky, outdoor services, walks in the woods, meditation, storytelling, music, arts & crafts, environmental education, activities for kids and adults, havdalah under the stars, and more. Our spiritual preparation for the Days of Awe will be part of the weekend as well. Camp Winnetaska is located beside Ashland State Park and the Ashland Reservoir. It is close to the commuter rail line from Boston. The retreat is open to all who live, work, or daven in the Metrowest area. You may come for...an afternoon...a day...or the whole weekend.
You may sleep...under the stars...in your own tent...in a platform tent...in a lodge...or at home.
 Everyone, of every age and every background, is welcome. Dietary laws will be observed, meals will be vegetarian, and food will be mostly local. The cost for the weekend is $145 with an early bird discount of 10% if registration is complete before June 30th. This price reflects cost to the general public. Please visit www.mayantikvah.org for additional pricing options, scholarship information, and to peruse the weekend’s program.  
This retreat is supported generously by various local congregations and the Combined Jewish Philanthropies.
