Israel – Palestine Program
Ann Bradney
Founder & Co-Director, Israel–Palestine Program
Ann founded Radical Aliveness and has spent over 30 years facilitating leadership work in high-conflict contexts across the Middle East, Africa, Europe, and the Americas. Her work is rooted in a deep belief that genuine human encounter — not strategy alone — is what creates lasting change.
Silvia Marjeyeh
Director, Israel & Palestine Programs
A social worker and group facilitator with a master's in policy and public administration, Silvia has been bringing Jewish and Palestinian communities into real dialogue since 2002. She holds complexity with skill and care, and has been part of the Radical Aliveness family since 2006.
Yotam Hochstadter
Co-Leader, Israel & Palestine Programs
Yotam spent most of his career at Siach, a dialogic school in Israel, where he helped found and run its high school — work grounded in the same trust in people's capacity to shape their own lives that defines Radical Aliveness. He lives with his family in Kibbutz Pelech in the Western Galilee, where he builds, gardens, raises animals, and is learning Arabic as part of his ongoing commitment to building bridges between Jewish and Palestinian communities.
Sayel Jabareen
Co-Leader, Israel & Palestine Programs
A graduate of the Radical Aliveness Facilitator Training Program, Sayel brings his roots in Israeli-Palestinian community life to the work of building genuine connection across difference.

In her work with individuals, couples, and groups, she holds a deep belief that the body is the doorway to our most authentic selves — and that intimacy across difference is both possible and necessary.
