Being Peace Weekends, Israel and Palestine
11 - 12 & 19 - 20 May, 2012
“Be the change you want to see” - Mahatma Gandhi
Israel, Palestine. Violence, hatred and war. Soldiers, terrorists, victims. A seeminglessly endless cycle of news and opinions surrounds the Palestinian-Israeli issue like a thick fog.
What would it be to walk through that fog, and see things for ourselves. To bring love, compassion, and an openness of heart and mind to a place of pain, suffering and confusion. For that which is happening ‘out there’, is mirrored in each of our ‘in here’, somehow the pain out there is also our pain.
The aim of this retreat is to offer the opportunity to cross the real and imagined border between these countries. So close and yet often so far apart. To make the meeting of Jews and Arabs, 
Israeli and Palestinian, a reality. If possible we hope to bring more understanding, more compassion and more peace, both to the moments of the retreat and to the situation as a whole.
We will be spending time developing relationships in a Palestinian village, and working with Palestinian villagers whose lives are impacted by the Israeli army and settlers.
Our wish is to bring support and understanding to all those living this conflict and its effects. We will be working with both Palestinians and Jews dedicated to a nonviolent transformation of their lives.

Earth Care Retreat, Devon, UK
12 - 20 August, 2012
On this 8 day retreat we will explore reconnecting to ourselves and the earth through working in and with nature. We will work with Trees for Health, a local devon charity, combining work in their tree nursery with time for meditation and reflection.
This retreat will be a time of simplicity in nature where we can discover ourselves in new ways. Many have found being with young trees in the nursery has been a profound experience of giving and receiving. We envision this as a time for giving our energy to help tender new roots grow, and receiving a new deeper connectedness in nature.

Being Peace Work Retreat, Israel and Palestine
12 - 28 October, 2012
“Be the change you want to see” Gandhi-ji
Israel, Palestine. Violence, hatred and war. Soldiers, 
terrorists, victims. A seeminglessly endless cycle of news and opinions surrounds the Palestinian-Israeli issue like a thick fog.
What would it be to walk through that fog, and see things for ourselves. To bring love, compassion, and an openness of heart and mind to a place of pain, suffering and confusion. For that which is happening ‘out there’, is mirrored in each of our ‘in heres’, so the pain out there is also our pain.
The Buddha said: “Hatred never ceases by hatred, but by love alone is healed”. Can we be that love?
SanghaSeva invites you to join us in a two week work retreat in Israel and Palestine. Over the fortnight we will be spending time developing relationships in a Palestinian village, and harvesting olives with Palestinian villagers who are otherwise prevented from accessing their olive groves by the Israeli army and settlers.
We will be working with both Palestinians and Jews dedicated to a nonviolent transformation of their lives. Our wish is to bring support and understanding to all those living this conflict and its effects.
