KAYAN
A Spiritual Group of People
Our Story
In the heart of Lebanon’s Chouf Mountains lies Kayan Community Center, a place where history, healing, and human connection intertwine. More than just a building, Kayan is a living testament to the enduring spirit of a family and a community.
Born from a legacy of resilience and a deep connection to the land, Kayan stands beneath a magnificent 107-year-old Hackberry tree—a sacred symbol of ancient wisdom and enduring faith. This is where ancestral memories meet contemporary purpose.
The name KaYan means “spiritual group of people,” embodying our mission to create a space for those who seek to learn, grow, and connect with their spiritual essence while honoring the rich heritage of Lebanese culture.
