Women’s Peace Walk
Anna Halprin facilitating a Women's Peace Walk
On October 19, 2010, TRUST WIN (Women’s Interfaith Network) facilitated a Women’s Peace Walk on the seam between East and West Jerusalem with 100 women, Israelis, Palestinians – Muslims, Christians, Druze, and Jews.
We were accompanying Anna Halprin, the 90 year old legendary U.S. modern dance innovator, as we honored her late husband Lawrence Halprin who designed the beautiful Goldman Promenade that we walked upon.
The women came from East and West Jerusalem, and all over Israel. Anna began to clap and and move and chant and some women began drumming, the Israeli women led Hebrew songs, the Arab women started dancing and singing in Arabic, and everyone followed Anna in a joyous group dance that encircled and embraced us all. We ended with prayers for peace from the different religions.
