Peer-Led Retreat Calendar
The Art of Jewish Retreat Making
Peer-Led Retreats are weekend-long gatherings created and hosted by Retreatologists (the graduates of Retreatology!). After learning how to design meaningful Jewish experiences, they bring their ideas to life through retreats rooted in their own interests, identities, and communities. Unlike our Mem Global Retreats, which are curated and led by Mem Global staff, PLRs are dreamed up and run entirely by young adults! And while Retreatology teaches the how—vision-setting, planning, experience design—PLRs are the what happens next.
Every PLR is a little different: some explore big questions through text and tradition, others dive into mindfulness, hiking, art, or something totally unique. The retreats below are accepting applications from all community members, so take a look and choose your next adventure!
