EPISODE #5 OF
THE PSYCHED SOUL PODCAST
THE INTEGRATION OF PEACE IN ISRAEL & PALESTINE
WITH EVA DALAK
About The Episode
Listen in to a heart to heart discussion between Shiri Godasi and special guest, ‘peace activator’ and women's empowerment coach, Eva Dalak, who are both consciously engaged in the profound work of navigating multiple identities during a time of intense conflict in Israel and Gaza.
Shiri and Eva share aspects of their personal histories - Shiri as an Israeli Jew and Eva as a Muslim Palestinian - and delve deeply into the current geopolitics in the Middle East, the impact of victim consciousness and narratives of suffering on war, and the importance of personal work and responsibility in creating a collective shift towards peace.
Throughout the conversation the focus is on integration: how to find unity in the face of differing perspectives and cultural histories while at the same time recognizing the shared human journey that binds us all together. Both agree that promoting peace also means promoting life and stress that one does not have to choose a side, but can embody love and harmony, acknowledging everyone's right to exist in peace and safety.
