  • Peace is Possible Podcast, Ep.2: Activating Peace Through Storytelling and Feminist Perspectives with guest Magda Zenon

    In this powerful and deeply human episode, host Eva Dalak welcomes Magda Zenon, a Greek Cypriot peace activist, feminist, and storyteller. Together, they explore the complexities of peacebuilding across divided communities — highlighting the importance of challenging normalized narratives and reclaiming spaces for truth-telling and human dignity.

    This episode moves fluidly between themes of trauma-informed dialogue, gendered experiences of war, and the institutional failures that hinder progress in peace efforts.

    Spiritual Bypass – March 1

    Weekly Gathering – March 1, 6pm (Jerusalem time)

    There exists some complexity surrounding the term “peace” and the pursuit of self-care amid an external environment characterized by persistent violence and discord.

    When dialogue about a conflict is filtered through a spiritual lens that speaks only of “forgiveness” and “karma,” it inadvertently glosses over the raw emotions of anger and fear, as well as the scars of history; it oversimplifies a story of displacement, a chronicle of violence, and political motives that must also be acknowledged at the very least.
