    Legislative Rainbow

    The Legislative Rainbow is a participatory theatrical methodology that blends Augusto Boal’s Rainbow of Desire and Legislative Theatre, adapted for small communities. It enables groups to surface shared tensions, embody collective desires and “demons,” and rapidly co-create living norms and codes of conduct.

  6. Making Hope in Times of Despair - In conversion with Maoz Inon

    Making Hope in Times of Despair - In conversion with Maoz Inon

    In a heartfelt conversation with Uri, Maoz Inon shares his journey of grief and transformation following the October 7th Hamas attack, in which he lost his parents, close friends, and their children. Born in a kibbutz near the Gaza border, Maoz describes life since the attack as a freefall into an abyss of violence and despair. Yet, he insists that hope must be made, not found—and that hope is born through action. Despite the pain, Maoz chooses the path of radical forgiveness, inspired by Palestinian peace activists who also lost loved ones. He has forgiven both Hamas and the Israeli government, framing forgiveness as a form of self-liberation. For Maoz, the way forward lies in focusing on a shared future, rooted in values like dignity, equality, and healing, rather than being trapped in irreconcilable past narratives. His vision is bold: peace between Israel and Palestine by 2030, guided by a five-step path—dreaming, agreeing on values, building partnerships, creating a roadmap, and taking action. Through initiatives like reopening the Fauzi Azar guesthouse as a peace retreat, organizing mass peace rallies, and co-authoring The Future is Peace with Aziz Abu Sarah, Maoz puts vision into practice. He and Uri close by reaffirming the power of small, committed actions to ignite hope even in the darkest times.
