A glimpse into the retreats

What it’s all about.

The people. The places. The moments in between. What I do, and why.

Press play to watch.

01 / Who it’s for

Who these retreats
are for.

The retreats bring together people affected by October 7, each carrying experiences no one should have to carry alone.

Here, there’s no expectation to tell their story or feel a certain way. There’s space to talk, to be quiet, to laugh, to get in the ocean, and to simply be. Each person can take what resonates and leave what doesn’t.

The hope is that through these shared moments, they feel less alone and find room for connection, joy, and healing, at their own pace.

02 / Be part of it

03 / A note from me

Why I started.

Hi, I’m Natalie Golan.

October 7 changed so much for the Jewish people. As a proud Israeli American, I felt something shift within me too. I wanted to do something. To help in a way that felt true to who I am.

I’ve always believed Hashem puts certain ideas in our hearts for a reason. When the idea for these retreats came to me, I knew I had to find a way to make it happen. Since then, I’ve brought two retreats to life.

These retreats are my passion projects. My way of practicing tikkun olam, helping repair the world, one small piece at a time.

Getting to create this space, and seeing what people find here and what they’re able to let go of, is a privilege I don’t take lightly.

Thank you for believing in this and helping me create something meaningful for our people, who have been through so much.

With love,
Natalie
