the place we are working the 4th time



the last 3 time the world work seminar was hold in Tantur,
a little bit away from Jerusalem and 10 min. walk to a checkpoint to Palestine.
This time is hold in Nazareth, a city in the North of Israel.


It is totally different place。
Nazareth is living 70% Muslim and 30% Christians.
so, the place looks very Arabic, it is more closer culture what I saw last summer in Qualqilia.

So, the culture is different and also the people are different.
It is the 4th time to join this seminar with the team , but it has the similar beginnings atmosphere like the first time in Tantur. The people are more nice, more personal and more peace oriented.
But I feel also underneath of that deep pain and anger and also hopelessness.

On the same time, I also feel that this is not our first time to work with the team, many difficult topic was able to show up and be told by the people. Few topics like "Holocaust" took more time in the past that we could speak about it.
And such kind of hot keywords can show up already in the beginning.

The field is growing and the team is becoming also more skilled.

But also, many deep feeling is hold by the individuals so there is many body pain.

I wish I could offer the active meditation to just release the energy.....

in the evening I joined the dinner and we danced.
moving the body and release the feelings from the body was good.

  2. depents on the day, the first day was around 60 people, but because the Israeli Arab can not join the whole 4 days because of many reasons, the number of the people changed day by day.
    the last day, we just had 2 Israeli Arabs.
    many difficulties to do the workshop in werstern style.
    we have to learn to be more organized and also more flexible.
