My story
Where paths meet
Shalom, my name is Oren Uriel Fishman. Nice to meet you! I’m 30, married, and living in Brazil.
For as long as I can remember I’ve been deeply curious about people and about how we experience life. I wanted to see humanity living good lives. As a teenager that showed up as education and social activism, and later as ecology and the environment.
Sound familiar? That urge to do good in the world?
Even when I was a farmer growing fruit and vegetables, people were always the focus: the team, the volunteers, the customers and their families. It was always clear to me that I was one part of a whole movement of change and awakening.
Meeting Nonviolent Communication was a turning point. It felt like coming up for air after a long time underwater. I realized that the way I interpret life’s events shapes how I experience reality. That’s my part in shaping my world. That’s where I truly have influence.
So I set out to get to know myself. And if I need to change and work on myself for the sake of a more moral society, a society of peace? Yalla, let’s go!
Alongside farming, I kept searching and learning, through spiritual paths and therapeutic tools. Every world I entered left its own mark on my heart. Somewhere inside me, all these paths meet:
- Education
- Social activism
- Ecology
- Farming
- Various spiritual studies
- Reconnecting to my Hebrew traditions
- Nonviolent Communication
- Nutritional guidance
- Yemima’s Conscious Cognition
- Derech HaNefesh
That’s how I came to the Ilma college and the tools of Derech HaNefesh (“The Way of the Soul”). Something clicked. I found an approach that weaves together three layers I already knew had to be present for real healing to happen:
- 1 Practicing awarenessWakefulness in daily life, attention to the inner space, and room between event and reaction.
- 2 Knowing the parts of the soulA holistic view of the whole system: body, emotion, thought, will, soul.
- 3 Faith and spiritual connectionThe widest stories there are about life and our role in it, drawing on Hasidic heritage and Jewish wisdom of the soul.
Today, Paths of Peace is my way to keep meeting, growing and creating, and to bring along anyone whose heart is looking for a similar path.
