As the first signs of Spring unfurl, join us for a joyful and restorative communal Passover retreat at Sadeh Farm in Orpington, Kent.

What will happen at this retreat?
Together, we’ll cultivate connection to one another, to our ancestors and to the natural world.
A bank holiday weekend of communal song, meditation, learning, rest, relaxation and delicious food. (Yes, actually delicious food on Passover! That you won’t even need to think about!) If you’ve been craving community, a sense of possibility, and nourishment for all parts of yourself, this one’s for you.

Who is this retreat for?

All genders

Ages 18+ and babes in arms

Engaged & interested teens if accompanied by an engaged and interested guardian / parent.

Self-identified Jewish people, partners and allies.

Depending on numbers, we may have reduced-priced options available for guests where one adult is taking part in the retreat, whilst another is present to care for their child/ren, joining us for meals and campfires, but not participating in more focused learning sessions. Please let us know in your application if this is something that is of interest to you.

Notes on Religious Observance
Our kitchen will be Koshered for Passover, and our catering will be vegan, gluten-free and chametz-free, and will include kitniyot.
Our Shabbat [Sabbath] will be technology-free in all public spaces at Sadeh.

Please note we are aware that this particular retreat begins on a date that some Jewish people observe as a Yom Tov [a sacred day]. If this scheduling prevents you from joining us, we hope to see you at another Yelala event soon!
