Since the Oslo Accords in 1993, more than $50 billion has flowed into Palestine in the form of humanitarian and development aid. Thirty years later, what impact has this had and where has the money gone? What progress has this international support enabled in the resistance against the colonial project of the State of Israel? This series delves behind the scenes of the relationship between the international donor community, non-governmental organizations, civil society, and Palestinian governments.
Today, we will listen to Episode 1 of this series as a group. Here is the synopsis:
01.
Shadow State
"The Jews were given Israel, and we were given UNRWA," said Palestinian politician Salah Salah. We visited Palestinian refugee camps in the West Bank and Lebanon to learn more about the role of one of the largest United Nations organizations—the agency created for Palestinian refugees—in their struggle for self-determination."
Fumaça is an independent, non-profit investigative journalism podcast focused on scrutinizing systems of oppression and inequality.
Two of Fumaça's journalists will accompany us on this day during the listening session, and at the end, we will open the floor for discussion.
See you soon!!!

✨ rebirthing breathwork ✨ After a long summer break, I’m so happy to be opening the doors again and reconnecting with our breathwork community at Lazuz, in Lameiros. ❤️ 🌿 Monday, 21st September 10:30am – approx. 1pm 📍 Lazuz, Lameiros This session is an invitation to pause, breathe, and come back home to yourself. Maybe your summer has involved a lot of working, caretaking, travelling, or tending to other people’s needs. Maybe you’re ready to recharge your batteries, reconnect with your own needs and desires, or simply create some space to listen inward. Through the power of your own breath, we can begin to release what has become stuck, reconnect with the body, support a more regulated nervous system and open space for whatever is ready to be felt, explored or released. Breathwork can be a profound journey of coming back to yourself, reconnecting with your heart, your aliveness, your pleasure, your health, your direction and your deeper sense of purpose. Your breath knows where to take you. The session is held in a safe, supportive and trauma-informed container, with space to explore at your own pace. Group places are limited. 💛 Sliding-scale contribution: €15 - supported / low income €30 - regular €45 - supporting To join: 🌐 www.premajulia.com 📩 Or simply send Prem a private message. If you have any questions or would like to check whether breathwork is suitable for you, especially if you have any physical or mental health considerations, please feel free to reach out. I’m so looking forward to breathing, exploring and reconnecting with you again. ❤️ Only love, Prema
