Our Vision

Ehvam is envisioned as a regional and international advanced spiritual center for peace. It is planned to take form in a desert oasis, near the ancient city of Moa in the Arava valley, on the path of the historic Incense Route. Its location is close to the Jordanian Border, at the heart of one of the most disruptive conflict zones in the world – the Middle East.
At Ehvam, students from the region and from around the world, will study and practice the principles of morality, compassion, generosity, wisdom, and the science of inner transformation, all based on authentic wisdom traditions of the world.
The center will welcome and promote dialogue and bridge-building between various social segments in the region, to reduce suffering and increase harmony and peace.
At Ehvam, students will strive to purify and transform their hearts and minds to generate deep inner change. Our guiding belief is that such a change will enable them to become spiritual leaders and agents of change, capable of transforming the reality around them and create harmony, coexistence, and peace.

Building Blocks of Ehvam

  • Ehvam will provide facilities that support the practice and study of authentic wisdom teachings, and
    will support serious practitioners who are devoted to the practice of such teachings.
  • Ehvam will facilitate the transmission and preservation of such traditions, in Hebrew and in other
    languages of our region.

    disadvantaged groups in their respective communities.

    valley, the strength and input of its community, and the support of donors from around the world
    who are committed to enlightenment and peace.
