From the longing for silence

A journey begins with longing. It usually comes creeping or is suddenly just there.

Eckhard Tolle once said: If you lose touch with the inner silence, you will lose contact with yourself.

This is exactly what a desert trip is about . To get in touch again.
Get out a week from the overstimulation of our usual world and into your greatest adventure, encountering you!

Follow the call of the desert

If the desert calls, you have the need for change, for silence. It is the reputation of the soul, which is particularly noticeable in personal upheaval times. The desert calls you to finally pay attention to your injured, repressed share. It invites you to let go of an old, used up and make you sensitive to magic, your rays and your lust for life. The real luxury is in the simple things. The rhythms of Africa, the blues of the Sahara every moment is magic. It is transmitted. Everything that is no longer part of you dissolves. Step by step in this infinite vastness of the sand -colored and gentle hills up to the horizon.

But first of all: the way is the goal

Yalla, it starts. A group of women has decided to pull their nomads and me through the desert and get involved in an adventure. Sitting alone on a camel and watching the world rocking from so high up is an experience!

Before we start we got a desert outfit. In the Sahara sometimes winds come up and we need a cloth at least 5 to 9 meters long to protect ourselves against wind and sand.

From now on there are no more distractions. With our caravan of women, men, the nomads of the desert, tents, pots, food and camels, we go to the heart of the Sahara for 6 days, where we move from place to place and dissolve fears and we open up to new ideas and visions in life.

Rituals give support and help us acquire new habits.

The wonderful women's era begins. From now on, we accompany us every day every day that lead us to our inner strength resources and our physical and mental connection. All secrets of female power are in the pool. Too often this access to the lap space is blocked!
Due to the exercises from mind, breathing, breathing, yoga, qi gong and dance into femininity , we come to our primal archaic force. These are my Magic Tools with which I accompany desert retreats.
The meaning of the dance into femininity is to feel completely comfortable again in your own body:
when the woman experiences her shine, her magic has developed a magnetic attraction that enchants. Her inner queen awakens and she begins to feel like this and to behave more and more. She knows how to set limits. She is calm and cheerful and her charisma is enormous!

That is what we want to strengthen here in our women's group in the desert.
On all levels. Inside and outside. This development takes some time and the right exercise set.
For development, patience and trust is always needed!

The dear patience, a virtue that people have naturally from the desert.

We can learn so much from you!
Because it is not her head that leads her. It is your caution, your understanding of adaptation of the situation that can change in this impressive and indomitable nature at any time.
Sometimes a sandstorm comes and then it means waiting.

It is said that the nomads feel the direction in the soles of the feet.

On a desert trip I have already seen some of them with their ego fights. Including mine!

A nomade asked someone: do you think of God?
No! the man said.
The nomade replied:
If you move through the desert and have no water, believe me, either God speaks to you or you to God.

The desert has always been a place for visionaries

We ride on camels or run. We have water to drink and wash it. I am enough to wash and feel completely clean a half liter! We learn to get by with so little and pay attention to little things.

When the moon rises, the stars in the sky have taken their place, the drums begin to speak and we connect to Africa's rhythm!

The spirituality is so connected to the desert

The desert heals us. It heals our disease -causing and rigid ideas of how something has to be, opens our horizon and shows us a new way. Sometimes uncomfortable, sometimes demanding.
Here is space for knowledge, processes, cleaning and connection, community.

• We give the desert our mindfulness and it helps us to feel.
• Mindfulness meditation with every step. Preferably barefoot.
• If there is nothing more that could distract you, only you stay.
• Who are you?
• What thoughts do you have?
• What prevents you from bravely going your own way?

Magic, energy, meditating and inner lights

I love traveling through the desert with women because we can take an “intimate space” here and strengthen each other.

Experience in a caravan with the authentic desert wagons of the Sahara to pull through the desert
is an adventure for everyone and will remain unforgettable!
By experiencing your way of life, we learn what we are looking for so long.

Amenokal Alhavi wrote about the wisdom of his people, the desert residents of Africa. Here is a small excerpt
that I think describes exactly what we are looking for on the way to happiness:

you are hardly sitting, you get up again.
You chew the first bite and already think of the end of your meal.
You start and want to be at the destination.
You only know the hurry and not the value of waiting.

How do you want to enjoy, look at and understand in peace?

The desert harbors a treasure

In the morning, before the sun opens and the sand still hides its coolness of the night, we sit on a sand hill and watch the rising sun on the horizon. A natural spectacle.

Look at your head cinema with your luggage, which you brought with you in this wonderful great inspiration room desert. Connect yourself to the vastness of the landscape and heart.

After meditation, we give our body the attention for grounding, energy and the sacred movements of femininity.

Then a happy breakfast time.
We plowed wildly growing arugula on the way, which we eat with string cheese, tomatoes and fresh bread, which was baked in the hot sand and ash.
While we sit on a blanket on the floor and still drink Nescafé or a tea, our caring companions put everything back onto the camels before our caravan moves on, in order to download everything from the camels in a few hours, cook tea and cook for lunch.

I used to think where is the goal? When do we arrive? Until I finally understood that we have long been our goal ...

I take off my shoes again, cover myself in my 9 meter long cloth and choose to walk today. Go in silence for a few hours in the morning, feel the earth and sand. Being barefoot is such a powerful grounding . My horizon expands every day. It gets lights and lighter. Euphoria spreads, my words in my diary gallop! Ideas appear. Visions, feelings of happiness! If something is empty, what can fill up.

Can you feel the earth?

Can you trust your steps?

New ways only arise by going.

We don't know where the new paths will lead us. You need courage to find your own truth. But it's worth it for me. At the end of my time here on the beautiful earth, I would like to be able to say: Yes, I lived everything, yes, I gave myself, yes, I was really brave !

In my job I see myself as a companion. A companion who helps people with body and consciousness exercises, wisdom and 30 years of professional experience:

• to recognize their potential

• Developing love and joie de vivre,

• Want to encourage their stumbling blocks into lucky stones!

After the adventure

If after our desert adventure we cuddle again freshly in our bed for the first time, we will dream of this intensive time together. A few more days in the riad on the edge of the desert, relaxation and hammam, conversations, laughter, a little culture on the way and time to digest before we go back to Marrakech via the Atlas. 

The eyes of all rays…. And I'm just happy! Happy and grateful for this common women in the Sahara! It's time for magic!

My desert trips I call longing for origin. Because that's exactly what it is for me! The longing for a happy being and the appropriation of a deep trust that everything is right! And it is very simple that

• Sleep under the starry sky,
• Running on the sand, riding on camels,
• Food on carpets
• and dance by the fire
• fulfilled me with an immense childlike joy and brings me to "my origin".
