We've gathered a good group of translators and web designers, a nice group of volunteers to support the project.
The violent situation in the Middle East as well as the
ongoing refugee wave, displaced people outpouring from Syria and the Arabic
countries, is a strong call to create Mindfulness meditations in Arabic.
ToWo is a group composed of volunteers. Most of us are
professional women, from all faiths, who train and facilitate cross-cultural
women's groups, bilingually. We work in coed groups with Syrians and other
refugees. Our premise is that trauma robs us of the present
moment, and healing occurs in the present body-mind.
Refugee Aid workers in Turkey, Palestinian women in the West
Bank, Druze women in the Galilee, German refugee counselors, and social
workers in Israel have all insisted that Mindfulness practices like this are
imperative in Arabic.
We are proposing a project consisting of at least
3 Mindfulness meditations in Arabic, up to a full 8 week course. The materials
will be offered on the internet freeland will be supported online by a member of our
group. We see great potential in being able not only to translate these
meditations to Arabic, but also to find the right way to make them handy and
useful for those that would like to take the practice on the go !
