Against the background of the complex times and the need to find peace even these days, on Thursday, September 19, the Harmony in the Forest event will take place, which will include diverse workshops in the field of wellness: Acroyoga, Pilates, ice baths, shiatsu, sound healing, intuitive painting, reflexology and more.

Precisely in a complex time like this, the event is an opportunity to relax, to strengthen the body and mind and to connect with nature. The event will take place at Rimon Farm, which is in the heart of Lahav Forest and was used during the war as a healing and safe space for dozens of evacuees, war victims, fighters and reservists. The event is intended for ages 30+ in combination with local businesses in the Bnei Shimon Regional Council.
