Photos from SEKEM

Nikki asked if I could put a few photos up... here's a few impressions from SEKEM, the initiative that is now launching the university that I am working for.

A misty morning over the Calendula fields.


This is SEKEM's own mosque. It is the simplest mosque I have ever seen anywhere in the Islamic world. This simplicity and the plain beauty in its oval shape really make it a place of concentration, meditation and prayer.


Our companies at night. Left is the textile company Naturetex (with lights on), right is Atos, the pharmacy company.


At our Spring Festival in March: One of the Bedouins that have been working in SEKEM for decades. Many of them roamed their camel and sheep on and around the land that is now the home of the SEKEM Initiative. When it started in 1977, it was nothing but desert. For miles.


This is a part of the bi-annual complete circle with over 900 Employees, students and trainees from all parts of SEKEM! This was for the occasion of the Spring Festival.


Here it is -- the complete circle!
