Contemplative Journalism for Living Through Conflict
Honest conversations and grounded practices for clarity, courage & care.
Making sense of what we’re living through
CONVERSATIONS THAT HELP US UNDERSTAND
RAW began after October 7, from a need to understand what we were living through and what it was doing to us.
Through conversations with trauma specialists, psychologists, writers and spiritual teachers, we explore Israel, Jewish life, and how conflict shapes our relationships, identities and choices. A place to feel understood, encounter new perspectives and approach difficult questions with honesty and compassion.
Space to pause
Short guided meditations with Anouk and guest teachers offer time to pause and find steadier ground.
These practices invite us to meet fear, grief and uncertainty with care, and reconnect with what matters. Together, the conversations and meditations bring journalism and contemplative practice into dialogue with everyday life.
