Eva Dalak

Eva Dalak is a Palestinian citizen raised in Israel and now based in Costa Rica with her husband and two sons. For more than 25 years, she has worked internationally at the intersection of collective trauma, leadership, and reconciliation. Fluent in 5 languages, she has led fieldwork across Israel and Palestine as well as Africa, Southeast Asia, and Central America.

Eva’s work bridges inner transformation with systemic change, challenging traditional peace-building models that overlook the body and the feminine. She teaches and facilitates globally, advancing a new paradigm of leadership rooted in presence, responsibility, and embodiment. Eva supports individuals and communities in metabolizing trauma rather than transmitting it across generations, cultivating the nervous system capacity required for sustainable peace.

Eva is the author of Dancing in the Dark and the founder of Peace Activation, a five-pillar methodology integrating conflict transformation, spiritual psychology, trauma-responsive leadership, embodied feminine wisdom, and somatic integration.
