Description
We have been an incubator for processes on the intersection of Community, Art & Social Change.
For more than 10 years we are experimenting with creative communal processes and personal development around the subjects of Art, Permaculture, Peace Work, Spiritual Work, and transformational events.
This place started (and still is in part) as a horse ranch more than 20 years ago by Yakov Avraham and was named after my late grandfather David whose life work was to reconcile Germany & Israel after WW2.
10 years ago we created here the Local version of the Burning Man event, Art collectives used to call this place home and even babies were born from some of the connections that were made here.
Today after experimenting with this place as a Tantra center we are shifting back again to focus on Art, Culture, Peace Work & all of that with the mindset of regenerative attitude and permaculture principles.

Liron - A multidisciplinary artist with years of experience and can make anything into a work of art

Would be happy to teach a bit of language as well in Hebrew or Arabic.
If you would like to learn about Israel & Palestine beyond what you hear in the media this is definitely an interesting place to be in.
Help
At this phase of reshaping ourselves to meet our new vision around this place we need help with the following things:
Artists - for your creative way of thinking and skillful minds.
Builders - Those of you who are skilled with wood, and metal, putting together a bit more complicated structures but still on the DIY side of things.
Cooks - Those of you who are passionate about feeding people and know that a happy community thrives on healthy yummy food =]
Gardeners / Permaculturists - We want to deepen our relationship with the land, we have some specialist permaculturists friends that help but with love more support from passionate people.
Community People - This is a living community with people of all shapes and languages passing through here, we would love to share our time and space with passionate community people.

Accommodation
Shared Dorms or tents
We have a shared kitchen with a relatively basic food program, we are still developing this because we are just starting our volunteer program after a few years we didn't have any, so be patient and also give us feedback while your here!
We want you to have the best experience while you stay here with us.
What else ...
There's a bus station with line 44 that goes to the train station nearby.
we're in the middle of the country so most places are a maximum of 1 hour away from all the major cities, and were located in nature in an agricultural place with plenty of trails and fruit trees.
it's still the middle east and not Switzerland so nature is nice but not breathtaking =P
