Ashira, once a journalist for the BBC and human rights researcher for Human Rights Watch & Amnesty International, suffered a spinal injury due to assaults by the Israeli police during peaceful protests against Israeli occupation. This injury left her paralysed with no hope for recovery if she had believed Western medicine...

.

Ashira shares her remarkable journey of meeting God, working on her faith, healing, and spiritual awakening, involving meditation, Sufi whirling, and holistic health practices that led to a miracle: she was able to walk and move again.

.

Ashira also discusses her current work with Catharsis, a project offering holistic healing for children and women in Gaza and the West Bank. She gives us a deep insight into the struggles and resilience of Palestinians and shares ways of helping through volunteering or donations.
