About The 8 Project
Tomer Peretz, a distinguished artist and survivor of trauma from his military service between 2000 and 2004, as well as his volunteer efforts on October 7th, assisting in clearing deceased individuals from kibbutz Beeri and its surroundings alongside the organization Zaka, has founded an Art Therapy organization offering a unique approach to healing.
Having experienced personal transformations through art during his time as a soldier and later as an artist, Tomer deeply understands the profound impact of artistic expression in processing and overcoming trauma. His organization provides a secure and nurturing environment for groups and survivors of terror attacks to explore their emotions and embark on their healing journey.
Supported by a dedicated team of three experienced board members, including a psychotherapist, trauma therapist, and social worker, the organization offers a comprehensive and trauma-informed approach to art therapy. Through various artistic mediums, participants are guided in expressing and processing their emotions, thoughts, and experiences. Harnessing the creative process, Tomer Peretz’s Art Healing organization empowers individuals to reclaim control, foster resilience, and find hope in the aftermath of trauma.
