Workshops in the heart of nature

Led by Esther in the open spaces of the farm, for groups, companies and families.

Connecting with nature

Slow down, listen to the land and the silence, and rediscover your natural rhythm.

Opening the heart

A safe, gentle space to meet yourself and others through movement, sound and sharing.

Team bonding

For teams, classes and communities: a shared experience that connects and stays with you.

Made to measure

Have an idea? Together we'll design a workshop that fits your group and your goal.

A slow walk

The spiral of healing and spiritual growth

A spiral you walk slowly, with presence and intention, and let it do the work.

On the way in, release what no longer serves you: the weight you carry, your fears, energy that isn't yours. Leave it behind.

At the centre, stop, breathe and listen. Connect to yourself and to the land.

On the way out, choose what to fill up with — light, intention or energy — and carry it onward.

The spiral is open to farm guests all day, and at night it glows under black light.

Heritage tour

Horvat Zaak tour

An ancient village inhabited for thousands of years, from the Bronze Age to the Ottoman period, right beside the farm.

We'll take in sweeping views over the Judean lowlands and the northern Negev, crawl through hiding tunnels used by rebels in the Bar Kokhba revolt, and explore finds from many periods: an olive press, caves, wine presses and water cisterns. Afterwards we head back to the farm to hear the story of the place and relax in the love corner with coffee and tea.

Story circle

Stories of the place

A conversation circle with Dudi, the dreamer, founder and doer.

How do you build a farm on a hilltop in the Negev? What do the stones of Horvat Zaak have to tell? And what has this land taught the people who chose to live on it? Over herbal tea and dates, Dudi shares the story of the place, and his own.
