What is the peace that we are seeking and is it actually ending a cycle of violence?

 

This conversation is a co-interview with me and my dear friend Lauren Taus, who is a therapist and writer. Journey with us to Bethlehem in the West Bank to speak with Antwan Saca. We’re exploring co-existence, peace activism, and collective healing in one of the most complicated areas of our world: Israel and the West Bank of Palestine.

 

Antwan was born in Jerusalem to a Christian family from the city of Bethlehem. He has spent his adult life working towards the dream of peace and justice in the Holy Land.

Antwan spent five years as Director of Programs of Bethlehem’s Holy Land Trust, where he experienced community-healing approaches that strengthened his interest in non-violent compassionate activism.

• How physical barriers become mental/emotional barriers between people.
• Individual and collective healing amongst
