Gathering strength – together.
This special retreat is lovingly dedicated to the women of Israel's bereaved families – widows, mothers, daughters, sisters, sisters-in-law and grandmothers – who carry in their hearts the longing for someone they love. It is a chance to pause, to embrace, and to give moments of comfort and calm.
A subsidised women's retreat, made especially for you: come, refill, and gather strength to face a challenging time, in a warm and encouraging atmosphere.
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.

Between the longing, the routine and life that goes on – you deserve a moment to breathe. We created a gentle, embracing retreat, dedicated entirely to women who carry the memory with love and courage.
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.
A range of workshops – terrazzo, felting, wood burning, natural cosmetics, breathing, writing, psychodrama, Zumba, printing and more.
A trip through the Galilee, a separate pool, and a comedy show by Eden Harel and Oded Menashe – about faith, reason and the life in between.
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.

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.
