While reading news today, something finally felt clear: a reminder of what should be our shared focus, beyond politics, borders, and beliefs - caring for the only planet we can live on.

The article didn’t reveal anything radically new, yet it struck me deeply. Climate projections for Israel, including temperatures rising beyond 50°C and unpredictable rainfall, as well as prolonged droughts, paint a future that demands more than mere concern.

It calls for intention, action, and connection.

Even in the field of events, so often seen as fleeting or surface-level, I see a powerful opportunity.

Events can be vessels of meaning.

Through plant-based menus, seasonal ingredients, and thoughtful design, we can create experiences that reflect our values and regenerate our relationship with nature.

No, an event may not have the carbon footprint of a factory, but it holds emotional weight.

It brings people together.

It can open hearts, shift perspectives, and quietly shape culture.

This is the heart of my work: to create gatherings that don’t just celebrate, but inspire change and healthier lifestyles.

🧡 If you believe, like I do, that beauty can be purposeful and that we can gather differently, let’s talk.

I’d love to create something that feels good, does good, and lives far beyond the event itself.

When everything feels fragile and fear is close, we need essentials to stay sane and find strength.

The last few weeks tested me in ways I didn’t expect.

But I found solace in the simplest things: watering my garden, cooking for loved ones, and leaning into the wisdom of my ancestors to nurture and hold space.

I just shared a new newsletter about how resilience isn’t always about pushing harder; sometimes it’s about connecting deeper.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed or uncertain, this one’s for you.

Finding strength in every small act of connection. 🌱

What small acts of connection have helped you stay grounded lately?

I’d love to hear.

Sometimes, a simple photo can hold a lifetime of lessons. 📸

Yesterday, an old picture of my grandfather reminded me how tradition and transformation live side by side in our stories. It brought me back to the purpose behind everything I do.

I just shared a new newsletter about legacy, compassion, and the rebellious passion to transform tradition into something more meaningful.

Curious?

I’d love to hear your thoughts. And if it resonates with you, please share it with someone who values intention—it would mean a lot to me.

Yesterday, a small accident at home led to a big realization. A basket of old photos got wet, and as I rushed to save them, I found a picture taken over 20 years ago with my grandfather.

After a few days traveling through Europe, a wave of thoughts and inspiration came over me.

At first, I was struck by tradition: the deep-rooted food customs, the centrality of meat, and the centuries-old ways of gathering and celebrating.
It felt like walking through the “old world”, a world that brought us here.

But then… came the shift.

As I moved through cities and cultures, I began to see something else: & .

A new consciousness is shaping how people live, eat, and connect.

That’s when it clicked.

While driving and reflecting, I found the affirmation I was seeking:

I deeply value tradition, but I belong to something new.

Visiting places like honest greens, where natural style meets sustainability and flavor meets intention, reminded me exactly where I stand.

I’m part of the food revolution. And I resonate with it fully.

My mission is to bring that revolution to every event table I create.

Because real food for real people is not just a statement, it’s a commitment.

And to me, that’s pure elegance.

Hosting is an art.

A table is a canvas.

Every flower, every color, every bite tells a story of care, connection, and celebration.

This is what happens when we shift from just entertaining to hosting with heart.

From vibrant florals to nourishing, plant-based dishes, I design gatherings that are thoughtful, beautiful, and unforgettable.

Dreaming of an event that feels truly meaningful?

I don’t fit into the modern myth. And I’m perfectly okay with that.

There’s a story we’re told about what a modern mother looks like, juggling everything, running on empty, microwaving frozen meals, and rarely sitting at the table.

Food becomes just fuel, empty carbs, industrialized convenience.

And time around the table? A luxury.

Let me be clear: this isn’t about judgment.

I know many are doing their best, showing up however they can, providing in every way possible. We each make choices within our realities.

But I chose differently.

I chose creativity through cooking.

I chose to be home when my kids return from school.

I chose to have a table that’s ready, not just with food, but with love, conversation, and care.

A kitchen with laughter & music.

A space where something’s always simmering, on the stove and in our hearts.

For me, this is education.

This is a connection.

This is the kind of success I want my children to remember.

In an era that runs fast, I choose to slow down.

To be present.

To nourish.

Of rebellion, even.

This is my commitment.

And I’m proud of it.

If you’ve known me for a while, you’ve probably felt it: my passion is for hosting events that are rooted in simplicity, presence, and purpose.

Not just aesthetics, but experiences that feel alive.

Not just beautiful, but kind.

Not just gatherings, but ways to connect more deeply: to each other, to nature, and to something meaningful.

This work is personal.

It’s also my quiet way of saying: there’s another way to celebrate.

My latest newsletter is all about that:

✨ Minimal and natural elements to create your dream event ✨

Not less beauty, but more intention.

Not more stuff, but more soul.

I’d be so glad if you read it, and even more if you shared it with someone looking for a more grounded, meaningful way to celebrate.

One of the most real and toughest challenges in building a purpose-driven business is learning when to say no.

Not because the opportunity isn’t exciting or generous, but because it doesn’t align with your values.

As a small business owner, the pressure to say yes is constant.
Every project feels like a chance to grow, gain exposure, or prove yourself.

But what happens when the request doesn’t match your values?

What if saying yes means compromising the very heart of what you’re building—your brand identity, your message, your why?

Recently, someone reached out and asked me to design a private celebration.

I was excited—it sounded joyful, meaningful, and full of creativity.

Then came the menu: they wanted meat.

As a plant-based caterer and sustainable event planner, this is where things get tricky.

My work is deeply rooted in values: health, sustainability, nourishment, and legacy.

For me, food isn’t just food—it’s part of the message. Part of the experience.

Including meat simply doesn’t align with the path I’ve chosen or the brand I’m nurturing.

And in my work, even the design isn’t just about style—it’s a reflection of those values.

And yet… it’s never easy to say no—especially when the people are kind, the event is beautiful, and the offer is generous.

💭 So I’m turning to you, my community of conscious creators, small business owners, and values-driven professionals:

How do you handle this?

Where do you draw the line between staying true to your values and being open to opportunity?

I’d love to hear your thoughts.

I know I’m not alone in navigating this kind of decision.

“I left law because I love working with beauty.”

A long time ago, a store seller said that to me. She had left her legal career to follow her passion, and I never forgot those words.

Back then, I was still stuck in a job that didn’t light me up. The daily office routine felt so far from the things I truly care about: nature, beauty, meaningful connection. That sentence planted a seed in me.

Today, it reminds me why I do what I do.
Because I love beauty.
Because I believe in natural aesthetics.
Because I know that food can be both nourishing and celebratory.

I once worked on an event where someone told me, “We can’t serve a plant-based menu—our guests are investors and entrepreneurs.”
As if healthy, conscious food was somehow “not enough.”
But I hesitated—and I disagreed.

When we design regenerative events, we align every element with our values. From the menu to the setting to the overall intention, it’s all about creating a space that feels kind, elevated, and in harmony with what matters.

And guess what? At my events, guests don’t just leave satisfied—they leave inspired.

I design regenerative, plant-based events that inspire, nourish, and reflect what truly matters.

I was recently asked to plan an event on the beach. The vision was stunning—sunset, sea breeze, toes in the sand.

But I paused.

Not because I don’t love beautiful settings. I do!

But beach events often come with more environmental impact than we realize—disposables, disruption to nature, and even “green” options that still leave behind waste.

As someone who creates boutique, intentional events, I always want celebrations to feel good, not just for the guests, but for the ecosystem too.

So I asked: Can we do this in a way that honors both beauty and sustainability?

Because with a little care, we can create celebrations that are just as magical—and far more meaningful.

If you’re dreaming of a gathering that reflects your values, I’d love to help bring it to life. 💛

Newsletter published! 📝

This time, I’m diving into a personal reflection—an honest dialogue I had with myself as part of my journey of losing and finding strength.

It’s a bit vulnerable, but I’m exploring what it really means to lose one’s way… and gently find the way back.

If you’re curious about my thoughts on growth and self-discovery, I’d love for you to give it a read 💬👇

I’m a businesswoman, a mother, a believer in beauty and compassion—and a foreigner building a brand rooted in ethics and values. I care deeply about this planet.

Lately, I've been receiving subtle and loud signs that remind me I’m on the right path—the path of sustainability, food systems, and purpose-driven impact.

Even when the process feels slow, I’m continually inspired by the beauty of building something meaningful from the ground up.

Creating a business that not only serves but also empowers.

That connects food, people, and communities in ways that matter.

I still face the challenge of stepping fully into the market and clearly and consistently communicating my vision.

But I know this: I’m here to create authentic, transformative events where food systems meet community and where aesthetics celebrate nature.

Thank you to those who’ve encouraged me, challenged me, and reminded me that slow growth is still growth. 💚

Open to connecting with others on a similar path, sharing ideas, and co-creating impact.
