The Terra Uma organization assists IDF veterans coping with PTSD to return to a full and vital life through the multi-sensory processes of viticulture and winemaking.
Wine journey
'A toast to life'
The Terra Uma Wine Journey Program is an immersive agricultural and emotional process taking place in both the vineyard and winery environments. It is an innovative program and the first of its kind in the world, intended for veterans coping with PTSD
Over the course of a year, abilities eroded by the invisible injuries of PTSD are slowly unveiled and nurtured, enhancing personal resilience and paving the way for healthy reintegration into society.
Each of the participants produces a personal and unique wine series, accompanied by a team which includes professionals from Israel’s wine industry and mental health providers..
The purpose of this journey is to create new skills, a sense of fulfillment, and ultimately the best possible reintegration into society.

LAYLA Series
LAYLA LAVAN and LAYLA ADOM are produced by graduates of ‘Wine Journey’ at Dalton Winery. This series exemplifies professionalism and skill despite the challenges of the injury, and it carries with it messages of ability, growth and hope.
The Terra Uma Association is guided by a sustainable economic model in which the products of the growth process finance the journeys that follow.
The Vineyard and the Orchard
In June of 2023, together with members of our inaugural program, TERRA UMA planted the first vineyard plot in Bat Shlomo, where grapes are grown for the healing journeys of the following year. Working in the vineyard is an important component of the participants' process. Direct contact with the earth allows for an opening of the heart and the release of physical and emotional energy, crating awareness of nature's cycles, and the wisdom that comes from caring for the vines. This vineyard will soon be wheelchair accessible for veterans with ambulatory disabilities.
Our professional team
Senior Israeli winemakers accompany our veterans on a fully voluntary basis.
The Creations of our Warriors in Their Wine Journey
100% of the proceeds are dedicated to operating and expanding the organization's activities.
"From the understanding and recognition that post-traumatic injury and the prolonged struggle with it cause a dramatic impact on daily functioning and the ability to fulfill personal aspirations, our mission is to provide a safe, natural, and productive environment for male and female soldiers. This environment will enable them to pave new paths of capability and fulfillment, ultimately leading to optimal integration into society."
Tomer Weinberg, Founder of TERRA UMA
TERRA UMA's orchard
The orchard is the home of the Terra Uma community. A natural area adjacent to the vineyard, the orchard provides program participants and organization supporters with educational and restorative activities based on the methodologies of nature-based therapy.
