Last weekend, Hazon ran two incredibly successful events. 85 riders and 35 crew peddled for a healthy planet from Sonoma county to San Francisco for our 3rd annual Golden Gate Ride, and 15 participants ate their way across the holy land on the Israel Sustainable Food Tour. Check out photos from both of these phenomenal events on our Flickr page.
You too can join Hazon on one of our upcoming transformative experiences, whether a multi-day bike ride or a retreat at Isabella Freedman:
