Weekend of Nourishment
This retreat experience is grounded in nourishment – of body, mind and soul. Each workshop, gathering and tasting aims to ensure guests are (ful)filled and deeply connected: to what sustains them, what inspires them and what grounds them.

FAQs
Is this a glatt kosher event?
We are a Reform Movement camp and our facility is kosher style, meaning we do not mix milk & meat or serve any pork or shellfish. The chicken and beef we serve is not certified kosher. Some participants who keep kosher, choose to eat vegetarian or vegan when they are with us. Please also note that some food will be cooked during Shabbat.
Can I bring my kids?
This is a 21+ event. If you’d like to come to Camp Newman as a family, please check out our Family Weekends.
If i'm flying in, what do i need to know?
If you are flying from outside the Bay Area, there are several convenient airports: STS (Santa Rosa – 30 min drive to camp), OAK (Oakland – 90 min drive to camp) and SFO (San Francisco – 90 min drive to camp). Retreat check-in will begin at 3pm on Friday and we anticipate participants arriving between 3-5pm. Our retreat will end around 12pm on Sunday.
What if i don't drink alcohol?
This will be a wonderfully engaging weekend, regardless of whether you chose to partake in wine tasting. There will be plenty of non-alcoholic beverages available for all!
