<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In the immensity of this dense void, our deep nature finds an echo.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A time in the heart of ourselves, where silence is presence.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The spirit of our journey:<\/strong>
During 9 days, accompanied by camels, we will immerse ourselves in the Moroccan Sahara. We will let ourselves be touched by this desert, a world of breathtaking beauty. The harmonious bareness of the sand dunes that undulate as far as the eye can see will awaken in us the love of simplicity. The desert, through its relentless language, reawakens in us the knowledge of a pure timeless joy. To accompany this song of the soul, our meditations will be supported by teachings on self-knowledge, emptiness and letting go – all three being aspects of one and the same thing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Approximate program:<\/strong>
We will walk as part of a caravan, in the silence of mindfulness. Thanks to our guide, our camels and the camel drivers, we will have the possibility of leaving the edge of the desert, to sink into its heart in complete safety. We will change camp every two days. On the days we stay put, we’ll do a loop walk through the thousands of dunes that surround our camp. The walks will be of medium level, without technical difficulties. Walking on the dunes is much easier than on a beach, you sink less! We will practice meditation (sometimes guided) every morning and every evening, supported by daily teachings, intended for both beginners and experienced practitioners. There will also be opportunities to get to know our Moroccan team, of Amazigh origin (commonly called Berbers).
The times spent at the camp (morning and evening) will be open to speaking. We will also have a retreat day completely in silence, without walking, and with more meditations and a night walk under the incredible night sky hanging on this landscape of panoramic horizons. And there will also be some time time alone in the desert. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The periods at camp (mornings and evenings) will be open for conversation. We will also have a day of retreat in complete silence, without walking, with more meditation, a night walk under the incredible canopy of the sky stretching out in all directions, and time alone in the desert. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
