The Tali Center

 Mercaz Tali offers science backed transpersonal (an approach  that promotes transformative personal growth and healing)  group activities that are new to Israel. Groups are led by clinical trauma experts.  Our goals are to foster deep connection through shared experience, help individuals connect with nature, cultivate a sense of calm, inner peace and balance, and to recover from trauma by finding meaning in life’s challenges. Active imagination, meditation and journeying cultivate a sense of wonder, creating an inner life of beauty and meaning that can be accessed at any time to assuage PTSD, depression and anxiety.  Alongside these practices, we offer research backed holistic healing, such as acupuncture, biofeedback, horticulture therapy and therapeutic massage. Concurrently, evidence-based traditional and trauma therapies, such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, a trauma therapy using alternating movements), CBT, (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, an approach that helps change unhelpful thought patterns), and Psychoanalysis (a model that explores the unconscious, such as addiction to pain and survival guilt) are offered. Soldiers, their spouses, children and teens appreciate the unconventional, yet effective, tools for trauma recovery that we teach.
