Women’s Pilgrimage to the Holy Land

Holy Land Yoga Retreat | May 15-23, 2019
with Katherine Willis Pershey & Val Metropoulos | from $2,195 per person

During this nine-day pilgrimage for women only, you will experience the highlights of the Holy Land including the Temple Mount, Sea of Galilee, River Jordan, and more. Daily yoga and centering prayer meditation create space for pilgrims to reflect deeply on their experiences. Watch the Scriptures come to life as you walk in the wilderness and pray in Gethsemane. Experience modern religious and cultural traditions as we celebrate Shabbat with Jewish Israelies and learn to cook with Palestinian women. All-abilities yoga will be led by Rev. Katherine Willis Pershey, Associate Minister at First Congregational Church in Western Springs, IL. Katherine is currently completing her 200-hour yoga certification and teaches a yoga class in her congregation. Centering prayer meditation will be led by Rev.
