Yael Gavish training a participant in the third "Aetgar"

The first format for "FeelingTraining" is called "Aetgar ba-midbar", "Challenge in the Desert".
After the experience of 3 times a full week with young people , age 14-17, we created this prospectus:
A large photo of a stormy sunset over the cliffs of the Ramon-Crater, taken by Efrat Lybrook,
and on the back of the photo the wording:
7 people stay for 7 days in 7 succahs in the Desert and rule their lives by themselves.

The seven young people (16-17) of the third "Aetgar"
wrote some wonderful impressions,
of which I made a composition of three
and used it as a flyer
(with an introduction, I'll translate:)

The history of "the Aetgar":

"Succah in the Desert" is a hosting place in the desert and also a vision about settling the Negev.
To the place which has been working already for 4 years - come individuals, not masses.
For when individuals live - each one apart, but still together -
each one is more aware of his/her uniqueness
and therefore also a special togetherness is created.

[In Hebrew all the words: "individuals" - "apart" - "together" - "special" -"togetherness" have the same root.

"Aetgar ba-Midbar" - challenge in the desert - started in summer 1994.
In three "aetgars" participated young people, mostly from Israel, from Mitzpe-Ramon to Haifa.
Many of the graduates - who since then came back to the Succah 2 or 3 times - had experiences
like those expressed by Shirlie Ben-Maeshi from Mitzpe-Ramon and Natan Meged from Tel-Aviv .

Natan Meged later worked as a volunteer in the Succah [here he is seen in the kitchen, 16.12.95]. Natan is the grandson of a writer & journalist, Aharon Meged, who was the only one among the many who interviewed me and wrote about my "Partnership" work in the seventies, by whom I felt understood.

Tom Recht wrote in English, since "most of the week was going on in English",
because of Philip from England.

Moshe Klein, a great educator, a genius in mathematics and one of my dearest potential partners,
was the only one, who joined me in conceptualizing the idea of the "aetgar", also in 1994.

Following Gadi's great new proposal, that he would be Avi's partner
by connecting it to his and Efrat's community work in Mitzpe-Ramon,
I did - again ! - the utterly futile thing :
I linked his idea to my own understanding of
Succah in the Desert as a "TRAINING SPACE" for people who want to grow,
mainly for people who want to do "FEEL-TRAINING", like others do baseball training.

A spontaneous FeelingTraining with Gadi's and Efrat's daughter Maya, then age 7 If I remember correctly: The fourth "Aetgar", accompanied by Yael Gavish, or maybe a reunion of graduates of the first 3 aetgars, called "Khoter", [=rod - from the stem of Jesse, Isaiah11,1] were trampling a path from the Succah towards the Midbaron. There it happened, that Maya got very upset and stayed behind. I went back to support her, while the group waited.         Rachel     Updated on December 19, 2008: I got an e-mail from Margret Daehndl, once my pupil and friend: she now intends to lead women into and in the Sinai Desert for similar purposes as described in my - never realized - programs of Training Dreamers (see the last one , in 2004...)

What follows is probably the last and most poignant prospectus [1999?]
among so many I had prepared in all those 14 years of my wandering life
about "Training in Feeling":

TRAININGinFEELING Re-Creation for the Soul in the Desert and on the Desert-Sea How can distressing emotions be transformed into fruitful feelings? How can opposition to our interest be transformed into partnership? How can we move from self-victimization ["they do this to me"," they don't give me"] to self-determination? Just as someone trains in basket ball day after day, thus I have to train in self-determination day after day. Just as in the desert and the desert sea there is a hidden treasure (Space, Purity and Silence or SPS), which has to be un-folded, e-volved, thus in the feeling, be it pain or rage, be it fear or shame, there is hidden a treasure which needs to be un-folded, e-volved.   Four optimal training conditions: [translation not completed] N
