Dafna

Dafna Paz, Katrien Hertog, and Nouran Gergues, all teachers of The Art of Living, have been conducting trauma relief courses as well as gathering and delivering relief materials in Israel and Palestine.

During the civil war in Lebanon in 2006, Dafna co-ordinated relief work in the underground shelters of Haifa, while Katrien conducted a program in Jerusalem, which brought together secular and religious Jews, Israeli Arabs and Palestinians.

Katrien and Dafna both have also both helped in carrying out peace initiatives along the wall that separates Israel and Palestine.

She says, "Our dream and vision is that one day, Israelis and Palestinians will meet in music and meditation sessions and together, 'Breathe for Peace'."
