Our Story
They say
We travel to change our routine, to see new things or to have fun in different places; museums, cafes, restaurants and streets, but who among us has traveled to search for him/herself and in themselves?
When we stand in front of Michelangelo’s “Creation of Adam” painting, we are captivated by its colors and details!
In our search for moments of happiness, we might visit a new museum or try a new experience… We may sit at a cafe table on the street in Casablanca, or try the “Adana Kebab” in Istanbul.

Salah Amireh and Murad Hijjawi
It’s the story of two old friends who meet again on a turquoise beach far away in the village of Kabak in southern Turkey; where they were surrounded by different shades of nature, the sound of birds in the morning and an ambiance of tranquility.
Salah says, “I chose, years ago, the life I’m living now. I live in a state of balance and inner peace! As for the corporate life and the hustle and bustle that I lived years ago, it no longer suits me, I have had enough of it!”.
“I took another path of my own free will, and found in yoga and meditation the harmony between my mind, body and soul. I learned it in California, and I started my own journey in Jordan by organizing yoga events in many different places.”
Salah affirms: “Today, I have a clear mission and purpose. I want to help people, and inspire them through offering various conscious practices, events and retreats so that they can reach a state of inner peace and harmony between the mind, body and soul.”
“I run my own yoga and meditation sessions, and organize events specialized in conscious experiences, including retreats exploring amazing places in the world,” he added.
As for Murad Hijjawi the situation was different; he did not know that he was living in a state of “anxiety” and “stress” in a world full of business and worry… the worry of numbers, results and the future was there with Murad for years!
It was an alert for him that he needed to take the lead and change something in his life!
During a two-year journey of search into the roots of human anxiety and stress, Murad was surprised by the extent of this phenomenon’s spread in the world, and the Middle East in particular. He even discovered that many of his friends lived with worry or anxiety, nevertheless, they didn’t talk about it.
An important point attracted Murad’s attention was if a person wants to take a practical step towards treatment, most likely will be visiting a psychiatrist, who in turn will diagnose the case and prescribe medication without solving the root cause of the issue.
During his search, he realized that there are other ways and methods to deal with anxiety and stress other than medications, all of which are related to daily practices and changes in people’s lifestyle and habits.
These practices succeeded in getting Murad out of anxiety and tension state completely.
He was planning to open a specialized center for anxiety and stress treatment, however, he met Salah in Kabak and experienced an array of conscious practices, such as yoga, meditation, breathing technique, silent walks, and other mindful activities in the retreat.
In Kabak; where natural hilly forested goodness rolls down to the glistening, turquoise sea beneath one huge blue, the idea of “Soul Star” saw the light.
During the same trip, Salah also met Salim Hammad and Imad Badran, where the four partners identified one goal with one vision… and that was the breakthrough!
The name “Soul Star” is actually the name of the 8th chakra.
When you cleanse your soul through meditation, prayer or music, you do that through the Soul Star chakra. The pure light descends and refreshes the soul and spirit.
It’s actually the first purest energy center that we encounter when performing meditations for purification and for ascending to a higher vibration.
