Seven streams, one sanctuary
Each offering shares the same team, site, and audience — and feeds the others. A conference guest becomes a retreat guest; a concertgoer becomes a donor; an apprentice becomes a resident practitioner.
Treatment rooms
Resident and visiting practitioners offering integrative bodywork, herbal consults, and trauma-informed care.
Medicinal garden & apothecary
1.2-acre garden with Holy Land Herbs supplying tinctures, teas, and salves under the in-house apothecary line.
Conference center
120-seat venue for retreats, workshops, and Shabbatonim — bookable as a whole or in modular rooms.
Farm-to-table café
Thursday–Saturday kitchen sourcing from the garden and partner farms in the Galilee.
Healing concert series
Curated evenings in the olive pavilion, pairing musicians with the sanctuary's contemplative ethos.
Herbal apprenticeship
Six-month cohorts of ten students learning cultivation, formulation, and clinical practice.
Built with trusted partners
The center is structured as a hybrid model: fee-for-service revenue covers operations; the non-profit arm funds land restoration, scholarships, and trauma-care access.
To Work and To Guard
Land guardianship, fruit-tree planting, and youth-at-risk programs anchoring the non-profit arm.
Holy Land Herbs
Medicinal plant supply and shared cultivation infrastructure for the 1.2-acre garden.
Fruit Trees 4 Israel
US 501(c)(3) pathway enabling tax-deductible giving from American donors and foundations.

Common questions
How do the seven revenue streams fit together?
Treatments, retreats, the apprenticeship, the apothecary, the conference center, the café kitchen, and the concert series share one team, one site, and one audience. Each stream cross-feeds the others — a conference guest becomes a retreat guest; a concertgoer becomes a donor; an apprentice becomes a resident practitioner.
Who are the partners and what do they each do?
Holy Land Herbs supplies medicinal plants and shares cultivation infrastructure for the 1.2-acre garden. To Work and To Guard channels donations into land guardianship, fruit-tree planting, and youth-at-risk programs. Fruit Trees 4 Israel provides the US 501(c)(3) pathway for tax-deductible giving.
Is the center for-profit or non-profit?
Both, by design. Fee-for-service revenue (treatments, retreats, conference, café, concerts, apothecary) covers operations. The non-profit arm — under To Work and To Guard with US giving via Fruit Trees 4 Israel — funds land restoration, scholarships, and trauma-care access.
When does the center open and what comes next?
Soft launch begins in Q1 of Year 1 with treatments and the café. Year 2 milestones: a fully booked treatment calendar, two annual apprenticeship cohorts, six-day-per-week café, 12-concert series with named patrons, and 1,500+ fruit trees planted with partners.
