The Parsha of Vayikra begins a new book, much of which deals with the different types of sacrifices that the Jews would bring to the desert sanctuary, the Mishkan. There were: -burnt offerings (olah) -grain offerings (mincha) -peace offerings (shelamim) -sin offerings (chatat) -guilt offerings (asham). Each one had its own specific purpose and set of procedures. The peace offering in particular was shared by everyone. Here is a super cool nuance about the Peace offering, the Shelamim, that connects with NVC, a method I use in my life and in my therapy practice. Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is a method that helps us express ourselves honestly and empathically, so we connect with underlying feelings and needs, aiming to ensure everyone’s legitimate needs are fully met. Shabbat Shalom.

🌿 260 Days — A Practice for Peace 🌿 I’ve decided to offer 260 days of a Practice for Peace, along with some of my colleagues Monday–Friday, starting Monday, February 16th, 2026. We’ll meet LIVE on Instagram every day for 30 minutes — wherever you are in the world. 🕰 Global times: • LA — 11:00pm (a practice before bed 🌙) • Dublin — 7:00am (morning) • Paris — 8:00am (morning) • India — 12:30pm (afternoon) • Sydney — 6:00pm (evening) This was inspired by The Buddhist monks currently walking 2,300 miles across America for peace. Every time I see it, I am moved. They’re walking with such reverence, accompanied by their dog, Aloka 🐾 If you haven’t seen it, you can check it out here @walkforpeace.USA @alokathepeacedog It made me ask: ✨ What is the equivalent of walking for peace, in my own way? I thought about Repetition, systemic change and planting seeds for the next generations, while healing the current generation. 🌳 I’m calling it a Practice for Peace, rather than meditation or mindfulness. The practice may include: • orientation • bodywork • tracking the body • listening to what’s present — in me, in you, in the moment 🌎Throughout the year there will be international guest guides to lead the practice If this inspires you in any way to organise your own practice for peace, that would be wonderful! 🙏 🕊 LIVE on Instagram 📍 @helenawalshcoaching & @practiceforhumanity 📅 Monday–Friday | Starting Feb 16th, 2026 The Artist’s Practice for Humanity is inspired by The Creative Path®️ @helenawalshcoaching Organic Intelligence ®️ @getoi , Neurosystemics™️ @neurosystemics_care #helenawalsh #peace #peacepractice #meditation #organicintelligence
