We’ll enjoy a hike in the great outdoors and then break for snacks and learning more about the spiritual grounding and renewal of counting the Omer, and the spiritual prep of the weeks between Passover and Shavuot.

Beginning on the 2nd night of Passover, we count the Omer, for 49 days, until we arrive at the holiday 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.

As we experience nature blooming and blossoming around us, we will look inward to find what parts of ourselves will bloom and blossom too. Hikers of all levels welcome!

We will be meeting at a park in DC - in the city proper! Sign up below for details by May 5th.
