Israeli option of Kibbutz as hotel
Tourists and volunteers during a cook out in Kibbutz Lotan, about 30 miles from the southern tourist city of Eilat, Israel. Kibbutz Lotan, in the desert, offers alternative medicine, meditation and "holistic workshops" -- as well as cranial sacral massage, tai chi, shiatsu, watsu (water massage) and yoga. But its biggest focus is ecology. Rina Castelnuovo/New York Times
