You hear the call of the desert? Something magically pulls you there and you don't know exactly why? You feel a longing for life change, for silence, for new perspectives, after time for you. You see camels and dromedars on dunes with spectacular sunsets, breathtaking starry skies and laughing faces that heat your heart.
The desert has been a mystical place of healing and knowledge for ages, and people who suffer the reputation of the desert intuitively feel that this will be more than just an adventure on their bucket list.
Crucial for a personal change and the chance of recognizing new ways on your life path,
there are 5 questions that you should ask yourself before you want to go into the desert with me.
1. Am I really ready to meet myself?
The ideas of a retreat in the desert are different.
I call my desert retreat a desert journey because we travel through the desert in the community of a caravan,
with other women, nomads and dromedars.
To go through the desert together for 7 days, we open up silence, people and our thoughts.
It happens that you open up one or the other person when hiking and talk about what moves you.
The word desert is connected to silence. Yes, that's the way it is. We always have the opportunity to move a little away from the group, to think, feel what comes up and silence and to experience the silence.
Here, however, I do not give any regulations when and how long you have to be silent.
Each one can decide on their own responsibility.
Of course, as an experienced desert traveler and mentor, I give unmistakable tips.
After all, it is about development and growth, finding visions and the most important thing for me: opening your hearts! It can happen that your own laugh, which may have been spilled for a long time, can be heard again.
The space for time is given. And also the room for exchange, for dance and music.
For energy work (Qigong), and for yoga, sometimes.
I follow my intuition and know what woman needs to open up to her femininity and happiness. Sometimes clear words are needed, sometimes hugs speak volumes and in the community we learn to respect each other and to maintain respect for humans and animals.
So wonder if you are really ready to meet yourself? Check if you are really open to change! The prices, the dreams, the visions that give you in the desert are worth gold! Because the desert invites you to look at your injured share and let go of everything that is no longer part of you.
2. Will I feel comfortable in a women's community?
Anyone who has experienced the power of an same -sex group understands how valuable the time together is.
In the case of the women's trip to the desert, you will get to know a lot about yourself and your femininity.
Because in my desert retreat for women, I go into femininity. Be it in dance, in energy work, in conversations, by the fire. And we learn about your culture and attitude with the nomads.
But what is this magical power of femininity?
What does the woman bring into her personal strength in this community?
We come to our origin energy of femininity and learn to accept help, for example (which many women can hardly do because they have done too much alone for too long).
The nomads could not survive alone in the desert. So we learn by itself that we can only survive in the community. And that every person contributes to this.
It's about connection and freedom at the same time:
- Every woman has the opportunity to sleep alone in her tent
- Or to sleep outdoors
- Or in the large community tent.
- There is enough space for you to keep your privacy.
- Unless there are sandstorms. Then you can learn to become open for the circumstances and sometimes closer together.
Ultimately, it's about connection! And everything we experience promotes connection! Even if there are moments when you can reach your own limits. And to be honest, I wish every woman from the heart that she reaches her limits!
3. Can I forego luxury and civilization for a while?
Ask yourself if you are ready to do without the amenities of a hotel room with daily changing bath towels and bed linen?
Ask yourself whether all of this is possible for you, especially against the background, to understand that the waiver of luxury is actually luxury ! Because with the joy of little things, mindfulness and little distraction, we will experience how little we actually need to be happy and satisfied. And much more….!
My answers to the most placed questions:
- Wash and outdoor toilet?
My customers' most made question is that of the toilet walk.
Where and how does it work. I tell you when your journey begins.
Here only say: it works! Even better than you think!
We can also wash ourselves and have the experience that the desert sand is very clean and the dry heat helps to hardly sweat.
- Eat?
There are no paint! On the contrary:
the food is of the quality of a gourmet dinner.
Again and again the women are amazed at how delicious everything tastes here and how much better
than in expensive restaurants in Marrakech or elsewhere in Morocco.
- Sleep outside?
Are there not animals, scorpions, snakes?
Outside this magical starry sky, which is only available far away from any civilization,
is an experience for which there are no real words.
A woman said to me: that was the best night in my life! (I don't even know how to confess my husband).
The nomads know where we can safely spend the night. In addition, the times when we visit the desert are not the time when everything crosses and hints!
- Without cell phone? Without daily news and contact with home?
Sometimes not going to stare on the cell phone, on Facebook, Instagram and Co, brings us back to the old days.
Times when we were able to perceive our intuition even better
and influenced
by information So this trip is actually not a waiver of luxury, but the greatest luxury!
- Did you know that there are even top managers who pay a lot of money to be unreachable for a while?
- You choose your vacation on an island where there is no internet reception!
- And in Silicon Valley, the inventors of smartphones give their children into their hands! You know why !!!
Because isn't it the greatest gift to us to give our own brain the opportunity
to design your own life dreams and not to keep chasing the ideas of others constantly and being hunted, exhausted and lived by life at this permanent latest screams?
Welcome back to your world full of possibilities!
Using your own common sense and listening to the unfiltered heart
makes us happy, self -determined, authentic people with visions.
The creativity can come back into the river.
I speak from experience. I have made countless trips to different deserts for 30 years.
And I am convinced that we need this experience, away from cell phones and influencing the network,
more than ever!
4. Can I trust a trip where there is no written schedule?
If you want to live, heart connection and adventure, then a plan will not give you what you need.
Because with me and my nomad team there is no plan that you should know.
We know the plan!
And because we know the plan, we know that the desert looks at wind with every planning and crosses our plans.
Not knowing everything is not just adventure! But it trains our western -oriented ticking head!
If I don't know what the next step will be and not really know what to expect, I am only surprised.
Therefore we will not tell you beforehand where we will be in the evening and where our goal is!
This is part of the concept to lure you out of your mind and to experience life in its maximum sensuality. And it is an important part of the desert. We have to adapt to nature and not nature to us!
The desert does your job! Maddo always says that, our desert leader.
has been accompanying the desert with a Swiss organization
for several years A month at a time. You can probably imagine how these young people come back after this adventure desert? Change happens!
Design people have incredible patience and acceptance.
You can wait without having to smell and you know that the desert helps people
find their own way.
We don't sell a tourist shamanism. We are traveling with authentic people who once lived in the desert
and share their experiences and life performances with us. Since the people with whom we are on the road are also my friends, you will see this trip as a trip with friends.
Therefore, this question is whether you are willing to get on a trip that deals with trust, a very important attitude that you should bring before you start!
You will definitely be rewarded for it! Be it that you reveal illusions or notice how you stand in the way of yourself.
5. May I get involved in silence, music, dance and hiking?
You need to know that when your heart opens, your laugh opens. Some have real salmon venues and begin to feel the lust for life and joie de vivre in all their cells. Then there is no one who then ensures night's sleep and says as a guide at 10 p.m., but now is calm!
And even if we experience silence a day, the night is sometimes loud (not all night, of course!).
The nomads love to drum and sing in the evening. Not always. And sometimes it is silent early. You can't say when that or Jens will occur. So here, too, does not give the plan of today's singing and tomorrow the night's chest is early!
However, I accompany the women every morning with Qigong exercises and Tai Chi. These slow movements invite us with a lot of energy and we then hike off. On the dromedar or on foot.
In the afternoon I practice the circle of femininity.
So this has a regularity on the trip. A rhythm that can be based on.
Everything else remains in the field of possibilities.
You should ask yourself all of these questions before you want to go with me and my team!
