In the Field
Built in the field. Returned there constantly.
Peace Activation was not developed in a classroom or a conference room. Eva Dalak has spent more than 30 years on the ground in some of the world's most complex environments: adapting, refining, and proving what this methodology can do where the need is most acute.
22 conflict zones. Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and Europe. The methodology did not emerge from theory. It was built through exposure and tested by what the field demanded.
When Eva arrives in a conflict zone, she is not delivering a curriculum. She is facilitating a process that meets the room.
Workshops for women leaders, therapists, facilitators, and civil society actors
Trauma-responsive leadership intensives for frontline peace workers
Embodied dialogue circles across divided communities
Nervous system regulation training for people operating under prolonged stress and instability
Training of Trainers programs to build local facilitation capacity and long-term community ownership
The work is not theoretical. It is applied, embodied, and immediately transferable.
Transforming Conflict from Within. Embodied Peace Leadership.
In Israel, the work runs under the name Transforming Conflict from Within. In Palestine, it is called Embodied Peace Leadership. The methodology is the same. The language adapts to what the context can hold.
Participants include women leaders, therapists, educators, activists, and civil society representatives, people working inside the most complex environments, carrying their communities under conditions of prolonged conflict.

Field Partners
Our Online Hub
Peacelab was founded by Nada Elrhalami, a young Afghan-Moroccan woman who reached out to Eva Dalak in May 2025. That first conversation was the start of a partnership between two Muslim women, a generation apart yet remarkably similar in background. The deep love and respect between them became the foundation for something special, something that has since grown into the Peace Activation field itself, and into Peacelab, its online home.
Peacelab is the online hub for Peace Activation, the place where Eva’s methodology lives, grows, and is taught. It’s where the training happens, from the 7-Week Foundations Training for anyone on their own healing journey to the year-long Certificate Program for those preparing to guide others. Both paths lead into Peacelab’s ongoing space for practice and community. For certified facilitators, the Lab is also where growth continues, as they explore what fellow facilitators are offering and, in time, step forward to offer their own courses and practices to the wider community.
