The Arava Spiritual Center was founded with the purpose of functioning as a center of spiritual education and practice, open to students from Israel, the Middle East and other countries around the world, thus creating a bridge for peace in our area and the whole world. The center is a source of inspiration and growth to the whole area, and it attracts teachers of various traditions as well as inspirational teachers, people of wisdom, peace and vision – thus accelerating the creation of sustainable peace in our area.

The studies in the center aim at cultivating a worldview based on wisdom and a compassionate attitude towards the other, following the Tibetan Buddhist tradition and the ancient Yoga traditions. Our purpose is to provide the students with the knowledge and help them develop transcendent spiritual abilities and qualities, which will enable them to generate deep transformation in their lives and surroundings.
