About
My name is Kareen Eilon Kohn, I was born in Jerusalem, Israel
in June 1973.
Traveling has been a way of life for me since birth, son of an eye Surgeon and an
eccentric artist. I grew up in transition through several countries, I had my
primary education in 17 schools in different countries, which has allowed me to
learn several languages. Once I was growing my thirst for travel only increased,
at 17 years I went to New York
where he started working with technology, working toward the goal of being able
to invest in ongoing experiences. For years as the most eager travelers moving
between hotels, restaurants and buses, I lived to travel, and gradually sought
to extend my travel time until I became a nomad. In 1998 I had the idea of
crossing through the borderline between Ecuador
and Peru.
I inspired another 3, that trip change my life radically.
The following year I met a group of people from all around the world in India, and
managed to inspire a dream in them. That dream that beats in the deepest part
of my being became my real every day life, where the thirst for knowing more of
this amazing world in a more natural way and work toward offering an
alternative towards harmonious living. Over the years I continued to inspired
hundreds of people to adopt a new way of life, and to live a transforming, profound
and truly free experience.
Within time a whole movement had been born, traveling on horses,
with a multicultural peace loving tribe, loving and living with animals and
open to nature.
I usually negotiate, train, evaluate, cure and horseshoe the horses. Raise
funds, design the cargo and saddle bags, the web pages, coordinate the performances
and activities.
Navigate through the mountains, locate and evaluate camp sites. Cook, serve,
train and above all to help maintain harmony and discipline among a group of
people around the world traveling through the most inaccessible areas, with 20-30
horses with a very limited budget.
Admist the challenge I managed to advance with faith and determination for the past
9 years, I have a lot of energy, which I channel into this movement, as I witness
the profound changes that it has generated in me and in through each person it has
touched.
Nomads United born committed to providing a change, an alternative to
conventional modern travel, through a system of community journeys on
horseback, a life more united to nature, through places where there still are stars
that guide us, a life in the sun and often not on the clock, where we can live
in the natural rhythm with the challenges that the same creator has determined.
And after 9 years have passed hundreds of people of more than 35 nationalities have
experienced a radical transformation and increased empathy for nature and other
creatures. We travel with our horses, eat vegetarian food, and play music from
around the world, dance with fire, we share what we have, camp under different
landscapes and we take the time to know the places and people and their remote spaces,
we exchange our knowledge and experience with the various local traditions and
revere our Mother Nature with all the strength of our spirit, which we are
trying to protect through our messages and actions.
In Peru
after seeing the state of polluted rivers, where we usually would camp.
We started to talk with children and adults on this problem, we realized that
we had a lot of power to influence, so we assume this as a responsibility and
organically deepened the focus of our intentions, as to create positive changes
in the places where we were going. We started to create workshops and using our
skills to encourage and inspire change.
Today, our activities seek to discover new horizons, merging art, science and
adventure, appealing not only to knowledge but to the emotions, both in
environmental education implemented several artistic and cognitive skills, as
well as in our reforestation inviting participants camp in paradisiacal places,
experiencing a way of more sustainable, planting trees and all this combined
with artistic workshops and ecological activities.
Vision in Action, We see it as a new identity that migrates into exodus towards
a more natural world, a time when we need a drastic change in our way of life
in order to reverse the process of environmental degradation and cultural
homogenization.
The movement began as a
romantic dream, though within time it became the biggest and most culturally
diverse horse caravan on the planet. It proves how a group of people from all
over the world, Arabs, Jews, Europeans, Americans, etc, could can be united with
a common intention, beyond the differences of races or beliefs. Not as an
expedition, tour or competition but as a system of nomadic organic communal
life.
9 years have past since its birth and the movement continues growing and touching more remote villages, seeking to open the doors to change through reason and compassion, art and science, so that we can attempt to see beyond the spaces that separates to us, harmonize humans among the animals and the Earth.
We go one organic step at a time, we organize events that are a mixture of ethnic music and dances rescued from several countries, like Arab, African, Flamenco, dancers with fire torches, acrobatics with horses, clowns and everything to spark a festival of planetary sensations. The latest caravan began in Costa Rica in March of 2004, and it's already more than 3 years since the caravan took on crossing rural Central America , stopping town by town, village by village bringing the message of peace and ecology.
In our NGO, we seek to ensure that the members have the opportunity to actually live in coherence with the organizations vision of sustainability so that the experience of living these values gives them confidence when giving this message. This organization proposes a continually evolving process of integrating other NGO's in order to generate a successful wave of action for creating greener world.
