(Minghui.org) As food production becomes more industrialized, more people are increasingly focused on clean eating and nutrition to make sure they get the most out of every meal. EatWell, an Israeli portal dedicated to nutrition and overall wellness, held a series of events dedicated to teaching better eating and habits to keep people healthy. Each event is attended by hundreds of people who wish to advance in their wellness journey.
Falun Dafa practitioners participated in several EatWell events this year to introduce the benefits of Falun Dafa and the exercises. Health enthusiasts, organizers, and educators experienced the relaxing effects of the five exercises, and many chose to adopt them as part of their wellness regimen.

Encountering Falun Dafa Again After 10 Years
For Rafi Efrati, an attendee of EatWell’s exhibition at Givatayim—a suburb of Tel-Aviv—seeing the Falun Dafa booth was serendipity.
Mr. Efrati first met Falun Dafa practitioners in Kyiv, Ukraine, 10 years ago, and he learned some of the exercises back them. He said he’s done the third exercise every day, and his back pain disappeared.
He was happy to find Falun Dafa practitioners at the EatWell event, and he learned the other four exercises during the conference.
Falun Dafa Brings Attendees Mental Peace Amidst Unrest
The EatWell conference on May 29 was held at the Karmiel Cultural Hall in Karmiel, a city in northern Israel. Due to unrest in the area, there were constant rocket alerts so local residents were under a lot of tension.
Falun Dafa practitioners helped attendees re-center themselves using the spiritual cultivation aspects of their practice, which promotes mental peace through living by the values of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance.
These values resonated with many attendees. One woman told practitioners, “Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance are exactly what is missing at this time.” Another woman later contacted a practitioner she met at the conference and said, “You brought very good energy with you.” She also said she felt the serenity emitted by the practitioners who demonstrated the exercises that day.
Shlomi Batan, CEO of the Karmiel Cultural Hall, was also highly supportive of the practitioners’ presence at the conference. “I’ve heard about Falun Dafa. I’ve also been to China several times, and my parents lived there for years. I deeply identify with them [Chinese people]—with the people, their faith, and their activities,” he said.
Health Student Appalled by CCP’s Forced Organ Harvesting
On June 17, 2026, a special EatWell conference was held in Ramat Gan for therapists and healthcare professionals, so they could better understand nutrition and holistic living.
A naturopathy student stopped at the practitioners’ booth and asked about Falun Dafa and its principles. She was shocked to learn about the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) persecution of Falun Dafa and the CCP’s forced organ harvesting from living practitioners in China. She said she could not understand how such an atrocity could exist without everyone knowing about it.
The student signed a petition that the practitioners had brought, to help stop the crime of forced organ harvesting. She later brought a friend to the Falun Dafa booth so her friend could sign as well. They both took copies of “How Humankind Came To Be,” an article by Master Li Hongzhi, Falun Dafa’s founder. Her friend also purchased a copy of Zhuan Falun, the main book of the practice’s spiritual teachings, to learn more about Falun Dafa.
