Carrying on – together.

This special retreat is lovingly dedicated to strong, precious women – wives, mothers, sisters, daughters, sisters-in-law and grandmothers – who carry in their hearts the pain of a loved one wounded in Israel's wars. It is an opportunity to support, to embrace, and to offer moments of comfort and calm.

A subsidised women's retreat, created especially for women from every part of Israeli society. Mothers, partners, sisters, daughters, grandmothers and sisters-in-law – this is a place that is entirely yours.

Three enchanting days.A space of gentleness and deep understanding, among women who can look one another in the eye and need no explanation. Days of connection, breathing, listening, and workshops that simply let you be.

You don't have to face it alone. Not when we can be together.

Amid all the noise, the pain and the life that goes on – you deserve a moment to breathe. We have created a gentle, embracing retreat, dedicated entirely to the courageous women who lovingly accompany their dear ones on the road to recovery.

A retreat that understands, that feels, and that holds a place for you.

This is a warm and thoughtfully curated women's space, where every detail has been chosen with care – from the view to the conversation, from the first meal to the last night.

Here you can not only rest, but also meet, share and recharge.
To spend time alongside women who truly understand you.

Why should you join?

Among those who understand

To be surrounded by women who know the language of the heart, even without words. A deep, quiet and comforting connection.

Gentle tools for the heart and for life

Workshops that offer moments of clarity, strength, and simply a way to keep going – one step at a time.

Moments of light within the cloud

Music, laughter, movement and creativity – reminders that even amid pain, there is room to breathe and to rejoice.

Reconnect with yourself

A calm space to listen inward, to grow stronger, and to rediscover the strengths that are still there – in your heart.

Pampering from the heart

Good food, open views, a quiet pool, and time that is entirely your own.
