When you read Socrates, Aristotle, Plato, you understand that life is very simple. Just a very short trip — and I don't know how long I will be on this trip. I can only be grateful for it, and create good energy. Yaacov Afik

Learn about HYGEAR Caesar Projects began in 1995, on a piece of agricultural land in Northern Cyprus that few believed in. Today it is a collection of beachfront resorts, residential villas, and integrated communities — designed so a family from Manchester or Moscow can afford to live like a Caesar, for a week or for a lifetime.
Inside Caesar Projects"I imagined a Roman city — Caesar. Amphitheaters. Aqueducts. Experience. Luxury living at prices ordinary people could afford. Like Club Med, for the middle class."Yaacov Afik
A framework drawn from Aristotle, the Stoics, Buddhism, and three decades of practice. Wake at 05:00. Cold water. Stillness. Then the work. The world does not need more powerful people. It needs powerful people who are not corrupted by power.
The Five Pillars
For three decades the work of building a place has been inseparable from the work of being a neighbour. Consciousness therapy programs, clinical research support, Ramadan eftar, gifts for the children — documented honestly, in their own photographs.
