Lotan's Way

Lotan's Way is a groundbreaking non-profit organization dedicated to empowering at-risk youth and soldiers with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in Israel through the innovative method of Wilderness Therapy. This unique approach combines wilderness experiences, experiential learning, and psychotherapy to help individuals rebuild self-esteem, foster resilience, and develop tools to navigate life's challenges. Through expertly guided survival journeys, participants confront physical and emotional obstacles, gaining personal growth, a renewed value system, and the ability to overcome negative influences. These transformative programs not only change lives—they restore hope. Established in 2009 in memory of Lieutenant Lotan Slavin, who fell heroically during a rescue mission in the Second Lebanon War, Lotan's Way carries on his legacy of supporting at-risk youth and his deep connection to the desert. As the only organization in Israel using Wilderness Therapy, it has earned recognition globally for its success in aiding vulnerable populations, from youth on the brink of crime to soldiers grappling with PTSD. By supporting Lotan's Way, you are investing in a brighter future for Israel’s most vulnerable individuals, helping them overcome their struggles while honoring the memory of a true hero.
