Gan Shalom · The Garden of Peace
A garden of peace, for every season of a woman's life
Thursday afternoon to Sunday morning, a small circle of women gathers inside the walls of a hundred-year-old home in Jerusalem — to slow down, to move, to meditate, and simply to be.
Gan Shalom · Five fruits, five seasons
Choose the fruit that calls you
Each retreat is named for a fruit of the garden — and for a season of a woman’s life. Tap the one that speaks to you.
Amande
Pre-birth
The first blossom of the year — for the months of waiting.
Citron
Fifty and beyond
Brightness and zest for everything that comes next.
The program
A gentle rhythm, day by day
Every retreat follows the same easy shape — discovery, movement, stillness and rest — then takes the color of the fruit, and the season, that brought you here.
Thursday — Arrival
Settling into the house, a first meal together, and an opening circle around songs and introductions.
Friday — Discovery
A morning of movement, an afternoon walking through Talbiyeh and the Old City, and a rooftop meditation as the sun goes down over Jerusalem.
Saturday — Going deeper
A quiet morning, a shared lunch, and small circles where the real conversations happen.
Sunday closes gently — a last circle, a slow breakfast, and the walk back into ordinary life.
What to expect
Slow days, a warm house, a small circle
Each retreat blends the discovery of Jerusalem with meditation, gentle movement and shared meals, in the warm, preserved setting of the villa. Small groups, long tables, and space to breathe.
