Anat Asia

My name is Anat Asia. I'm 55 years old. I live on Kibbutz Beit Keshet in the Lower Galilee.

For the past 25 years, I have been facilitating meetings between Arabs and Jews, using the tools of listening circles and nonviolent communication. I taught these tools to teachers in the Ministry of Education, and I established a group of Arabs and Jews in the Galilee.

Since October 7th, my Arab partner and I have been leading Zoom meetings for Israelis, Palestinians, and international participants who meet and share their feelings about the situation. I also teach and practice Chinese medicine and integrate body and mind to bring about healing and build human bridges even when there are different narratives and cultures.

I am interested in contributing to inclusive dialogue within the party, teaching tools for conflict resolution, allowing all voices to be heard with empathy, and bringing about new collaborations for the benefit of all.
