“Free Spirit” is an experiential, educational- therapeutic program in Israel, geared toward boys and girls ages 14-19 from around the world who are experiencing various difficulties. Within the 8 to 10 weeks of our program, we focus on Outdoor and Wilderness Therapy with group as well as individual components. Free Spirit is focused on “Challenge by Choice” experiences, developing personal self-regulation and self-reliance. In return, we experience positive collaboration on our participants’ part, as they feel highly involved in their process. Learning to make good healthy choices on your own, rather than relying on external motivations and structure better assures us that lessons learned can translate to other, less structured environments. Participants return home with the necessary tools and understandings to overcome their difficulties and succeed in life. The therapeutic approach is based on individual treatment, new challenges and group dynamics. The educational factor consists of studying Hebrew and other academic subjects, including, when appropriate, high school credit courses. In addition, the participants will engage with Israeli culture and society, including the unique kibbutz community life with all of its benefits. The students are accompanied by a team of experienced counselors, mentors, guides and other professionals. Our staff to participants ratio is nearly 1-on-1.

When David arrived at Free Spirit in Israel, his world felt small, mostly the space between his bed and his phone. He didn’t believe in himself, or in the idea that change was possible.

A few months later, he’s managing his days, making new friends, and hiking across the desert this week with our group.

Growth starts with one brave step.

When Maya first arrived at Free Spirit Experience in Israel, she was exhausted and anxious. Her days had no rhythm, and she felt like she was constantly disappointing herself and everyone around her. She wanted to change but didn’t know how to start.
Fast-forward one year. Maya’s life looks completely different, new city, new routine, new confidence.
