Description

“Little did I know that I would have to lose my literal vision to regain a true vision of peace, which is a vision rooted in the soul.”

Dancing in the Dark is a memoir of transformation—a journey through loss, identity, and the reclamation of light in the face of darkness. When Eva Dalak lost her vision for two years, she was forced to navigate not only physical blindness but also the unseen landscapes of trauma, belonging, and ancestral memory. As a Palestinian woman who grew up in Israel, her personal story is woven with the collective wounds of conflict, displacement, and inherited pain. Yet what emerges is not just a testimony of survival but a profound exploration of healing.

With honesty and poetic grace, Dalak traces her path from disorientation to clarity, from fragmentation to wholeness. Through her Peace Activation framework, she weaves trauma-informed practices, intergenerational dialogue, and embodied resilience into a new way forward—not only for individuals but for communities and nations caught in cycles of violence.

This is a story of awakening. Dancing in the Dark invites readers to see with new eyes—to reclaim the sacred, liberate love from trauma, and activate peace as a lived experience.

“Little did I know that I would have to lose my literal vision to regain a true vision of peace, which is a vision rooted in the soul.”
