The purpose of this group is to provide updates and invitations to Eco-Spirit Middle East (ME) events organized by Ilana Meallem ( Arava Institute for Environmental Studies) or close friends - it is not a discussion group.
Eco-Spirit ME takes holistic approach to reconciliation and peace work, focusing on inner and outer transformation. All activities bring Arabs and Jews from around the Middle East together in an outdoor setting, using the connection to the natural environment to deepen and advance their own capacities as changemakers.
Its goal is to help nurture the already growing network of young leaders, assist them to understand their “work in the world”, strengthen their unity as a regional community, and help them become anchors in the midst of conflict, environmental degradation, fear and violence.
Events are held in Jordan, Egypt, Israel, Palestine, Dead Sea (easily accessible to Israelis/Palestinians) & Turkey.
Also available are pictures from past events and a video interview with ilana
With love and light
Ilana Meallem
