Baltimore / Pearlstone Programs

Eco-Workshops & Experiential Programs

Pearlstone events include overnight immersive retreats, Adamah Adventure summer camp, various workshop series, and day-programs on our campus.

Our philosophy, called “Torah of the Earth”, fosters profound transformations with personal spiritual resonance by weaving lessons and wisdom from Jewish texts with hands-on, practical skills related to stewarding the land and caring for the creatures of creation.

Talented educators lead Torah-infused discussions about food, agriculture and ecology with experiential programming integrating study, ritual, and action through Jewish wisdom and nature connection.

At Pearlstone, Torah of the Earth activates creative Jewish expression by engaging the head, the heart, the body, and the soul.

Adamah Adventure Camp

Join Pearlstone’s talented farmer-educators, wilderness experts, and fun-loving group leaders for a week of awesome adventures! Campers explore skill-building challenges, stories and songs, and community-building games.

Upcoming Programs at Pearlstone

All of our retreats welcome everyone, regardless of religious practice and background. We take time to celebrate Shabbat and the holidays – how that occurs varies from retreat to retreat. You are always welcome to observe Shabbat and the holidays in your own way. We come together for meals, rituals, and other moments as a whole community, and we aim to have our educational classes accessible to everyone.
