The Full Story

Welcome to Healing Nature Retreats! I’m Noam Bedein, a sustainable tourism innovator, photojournalist, and the founder and director of the Dead Sea Revival Project. Since 2016, my journey has centered on crafting innovative approaches to eco-tourism and environmental diplomacy, with a special focus on the awe-inspiring but endangered Dead Sea. Through visual storytelling and immersive ecological experiences, I’ve raised awareness about the challenges facing this natural wonder, transforming it into a global symbol of resilience and conservation.

Building on this foundation, Dead Sea Revival 2.0 has expanded into a worldwide mission to explore and preserve natural wonders. By developing innovative methods of conservation and sustainable tourism, we aim to create lasting change and inspire others to protect our planet’s most vulnerable ecosystems.

In 2024-2025, my family and I are embarking on a meaningful emissary mission, "Agents of Hope," across North and Central America. This journey focuses on exploring natural wonders, promoting wildlife conservation, and sustainable tourism while crafting therapeutic nature-based experiences for Israeli veterans and their spouses. Guided by mental health professionals, we aim to foster recovery from conflict-related trauma and inspire a renewed commitment to preserving Israel's natural treasures.

The Abraham Accords have been pivotal in shaping my work, allowing me to promote regional water diplomacy and sustainable tourism across the Arabian Gulf, Africa, and Asia. These experiences underscore the power of partnerships and the need for innovative strategies in addressing global environmental challenges.

This website represents the next step in my journey: connecting individuals with the profound healing power of nature. Through Healing Nature Retreats, we spotlight unique, eco-conscious destinations that combine natural beauty, cultural richness, and sustainable practices. Our mission is to provide transformative experiences, whether for mental wellness, resilience building, or simply reconnecting with the wild.

Join me in exploring the world’s hidden gems and discover how nature can inspire, heal, and sustain us all.
