Renew Yourself Soul Retreat

October 19 – 25, 2025

Morocco, Sahara Desert

The Activities

Creative Meditation,
Dance, Silence

This creative meditation and dance retreat is your space for renewal and reconnection to your essence. Ground yourself in the sands of the Sahara desert, let go of stories that no longer serve you, and reconnect witht the spark within.

Through the rhythm of the earth and daily mindfulness sessions you’ll connect deeper to yourself and others ~ coming back into the heart.

Activities include gentle as well as energizing session to move body, mind, and spirit, such as kundalini yoga, dance, creative meditation, and a new moon ceremony

The Excursions

Berber culture, Gnaoua Music, Souk

We’ll also go on excursions to learn more about the Berber culture, visit a place for traditional spiritual music, called Gnaoua, visit a nearby Souk for some Berber shopping, and find out about ancient times when the Sahara was an ocean.

Feel free to join any of the activities or just chill, in case you want to take time for yourself to „retreat“.

Most important is that you enjoy your time in the desert and that can magically unfold differently for everyone.

The Location

Traditional Riads & Nomad Tents

We’ll be staying in a typical Berber Riad built by a former nomad family at the footsteps of the dunes. The Riad has an inner courtyard with a pool, several terasses, and semi-luxurious rooms.

For 2 nights we will go into the heart of the Sahara to stay in nomad tents to truly disconnect to reconnect.

Part of the 2-day mini-trip will be no phones in the desert and half a day in silence for a full immersion into nomad life.
