A country in trauma
The reality in Israel speaks for itself.
Since the events of October 7th, more and more people are dealing with deep emotional consequences - some of them do not manage to get treatment at all, and many of them remain untreated.

What does it actually look like?
Soultalk - Siach nefesh - operates within a rehabilitative agricultural space in the heart of nature. This is a place that connects land work, a calm environment, a sense of belonging and people who understand you.
The area has a well-kept vegetable garden, honey beehives, green greenhouses, a dedicated building for body and mind workshops, and a kitchen equipped for culinary activities. Everything is built around daily activities that bring peace, connection and security.
Our approach
We believe in a process that starts from the ground up. Through working with the land, a direct connection to nature, and learning at a personal pace - the participants in Shikh Nefesh go through a process of building resilience, strengthening, learning practical tools, and creating real human connections.
The program combines individual and group meetings, diverse workshops, and quiet spaces for observation. All of these allow people to return to their routine gradually, with a renewed sense of stability.
