Together Beyond Words (TBW) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to support the foundation of a just and peaceful society. We accomplish our mission by creating safe havens where Arabs and Jews, Israelis and Palestinians can feel and transform the emotional pain underlying the Israeli Palestinian Conflict and by empowering, training and supporting women in applying their unique skills as peace builders.
To accomplish these goals we run workshops, trainings and courses for Arab Palestinian and Jewish women and more recently men using innovative multi-disciplinary healing approaches. We are currently creating an Army of Healers to rebuild trust, reawaken compassion and enhance the ability of Jews and Arabs, Israelis, and Palestinians to live in harmony and work for peace.
Together Beyond Words uses both verbal and nonverbal interventions. This combination works well in quickly breaking down barriers and creating an atmosphere of trust and acceptance. Within this safe space old wounds can be healed, hidden strength recovered and emotional understanding and empathy enhanced. We teach people simple tools they can use on a daily basis with friends, family members and in their community to transform pain so it is not transmitted.
