Upcoming Expedition
Oaxaca Forests
An Encounter with a Living Land
Shebet Haaretz invites you on a transformative journey to the self-sufficient communities of Oaxaca, where we will explore the deep connection between the people of Israel, their land, and their tradition, rooted in the understanding of natural cycles.
Throughout this journey, we will learn about regenerative agriculture, natural calendars, and communal living, while engaging with those who have embraced self-sufficiency as a way of life. Through hikes in the Sierra Norte forests, hands-on workshops, and moments of reflection, we will discover what it means to live in harmony with the land.
