Tour Description

You must BE the change you want to see in the world – Mahatma Gandhi

Imagine sitting in an ancient cave listening to the sounds of Miriam’s Drum as it was used by the biblical prophets and prophetesses… or visiting the sacred birthplace of Mary Magdalene…or visiting the birthplace of ancient Jewish mysticism – Kabbalah. Imagine listening to the soothing sounds of David’s harp in a Judean Desert Monastery...or being led in a special ceremony to reconnect with the balancing healing power of the ancients at the Temple Mount. Imagine visiting an ancient town where Jews, Christians and Muslims have continuously lived in peace for centuries…if you can imagine this, then you are ready to join us on a journey of peace and transformation that will change your life.

On this special journey we will meet with several Living Masters of Peace – such as Ramzi Aweda, a Druze, who lives in a mountainside cave and has amazing stories of spiritual adventure; and Sara Hatan, a Kurdish Jew who fled her native village in Iraqi Kurdistan some 60 years ago and recently returned to reclaim the ancient prayer books which she had left in safe keeping with her Muslim neighbors. In the Judean Desert we will meet Seffi HaNegbi, a modern day desert visionary steeped in tradition of the ancient ways of the Judean desert. These are just a few of the amazing people you will meet who have a vision of peace for our changing world.

We will soak in the powerful healing energies of the ancient Roman Hot Springs, and we will float and rejuvenate our bodies at the Dead Sea. We will spend time in the Judean Desert – a place where the silence is complete and the vistas are never-ending…where prayer is natural and spontaneous and where we can journey to our true essence.

You will have a chance to contribute your own special mark towards peace, healing & transformation in this region and in your own life. Internationally renowned peace activist and composer Eliana Gilad, a mystic who lives and works peacefully with Jews, Christians and Muslims will share with you how to live in harmony even when life around you goes awry. You will experience ancient practices and healing music at the sacred sites, helping you to live with yourself and others in peace.

Please join us in nurturing and growing peace on this incredible journey!
