JERUSALEM | From June 2-6, Seeds of Peace partnered with Yafo Creative to run a Mic and Pen creative retreat in the Negev Desert town of Mitzpe Ramon, bringing together talented artists with the drive and potential to lead change through music.
The retreat consisted of presentations, opportunities for dialogue, and guided discussions by a range of artists committed to active social transformation—as well as a plethora of opportunities for jamming, composing, and performing.
Among the over forty participants were Ami Yares, Palestinian rapper SAZ, GATHER Fellow and American Seed Micah of the Jerusalem Youth Chorus, GATHER Fellows Sun Tailor and Mira Awad, and the legendary Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul, and Mary.
