Our Mission

Darash Ahava
Foundation

Helping people heal and thrive through Tikkun Olam—repairing the world one soul at a time.

Darash Ahava Foundation is an IRS 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to helping people heal and thrive, inspired by the Jewish value of Tikkun Olam—repairing the world one soul at a time. We believe that when people feel safe in their own bodies and connected to others, they unlock their true potential. Our work focuses on calming and strengthening the nervous system, moving beyond fear and ego, and expanding the human capacity to love, create, and live with purpose. By transforming pain into resilience, we empower individuals to grow into their fullest selves and bring more compassion, connection, and possibility into the world.

Our Mission & Vision

At Darash Ahava, our mission is to repair the world by rebuilding humanity's capacity to connect. We believe the greatest challenge of our time is not a lack of resources, but a lack of connection—with ourselves, with each other, and with a shared sense of humanity. Disconnection fuels fear, division, and hate; connection opens the door to healing, compassion, and hope.

We guide people through a three-step healing process that restores connection on every level:

Emotional Healing

Programs like Brushstrokes of Emotion help people access their inner world, explore vulnerability, and build the emotional capacity for intimacy and self-understanding.

Nervous System Healing

Through practices such as yoga, breathwork, sound, and animal-assisted experiences, participants rediscover safety in their bodies and return to a state of calm and balance.

Community Connection

Retreats, gatherings, and shared spaces provide opportunities for authentic connection, helping people integrate healing into relationships and community life.

Our vision is to establish a state-of-the-art Healing Center—a sanctuary where all three steps come together under one roof. It will be a place of peace, love, and belonging, where thousands of children and adults can heal, grow, and thrive.

Core Values

These guiding principles shape everything we do—from the programs we create to the relationships we build.

Compassion

We approach every person with empathy and respect, creating safe spaces where vulnerability is honored and healing is possible.

Connection

We believe connection is the antidote to the world's problems—when people feel seen and understood, division gives way to empathy and love.

Wholeness

We nurture healing of the whole person—mind, body, and community—so individuals can live with balance, authenticity, and purpose.

Impact

We are committed to Tikkun Olam, the Jewish value of repairing the world one soul at a time, creating ripples of healing from the individual outward.

Our Programs

Through a combination of volunteer facilitators and strategic partnerships, we offer impactful programs that serve communities in need locally and globally.
