A spiritual retreat in the Sahara desert is not only transformational, but also a good starting point to find back home to yourself. If you are feeling lost, stressed, disconnected, and unsure of the future, a spiritual retreat in the Sahara desert in Morocco will help you to reconnect to yourself and revive your Soul.
Life in the Sahara desert is much slower than in our Western culture. People take time to shake hands, drink tea together and to laugh. Food is cooked over the fire for hours, the bread is baked in the earth oven, water is picked up at the well next to the community gardens.
In ancient times, the nomads would read the stars and know their way through the communication with the stars and the earth. They’d collect herbs from the desert to heal illnesses, and tell stories around the camp fire.
Simply by stepping foot on this land, your Soul starts to remember its deep connection to the earth and the whole Universe. It’s ancient memories in the cells of our bodies, that get revived each time in the Sahara desert.
What makes a Spiritual Retreat in the Sahara Desert special?
The desert is still a place of magic and wonder. People have preserved their ancient traditions and use Wifi to a minimal extend. Some of the Berber that work at a nomad camp in the Sahara walk back to the village for two hours, if there is no transport. Life is very connected to nature and the seasons, withstanding cold in winter and extreme heat in the summer.
The circumstances are harsh, yet the Soul feels a deep welcoming here. When I asked a guy who works at a camp why he prefers the desert over his city (Errachidia) he said: „It’s better here, more peaceful.“ That’s not just because of the silence of the desert, but also, the more people connect to the earth, the more relaxed they become.
Furthermore, there is a village close to dunes where ancient spiritual music that originated in the South of Africa is still preserved and played to this day. Men dress in white and chant and play the Guembri, metal castagnettes, and drums for healing.
Spirituality is nothing external here, it’s the inner remembering of peace when all that is different is removed or simply falls away.
The desert helps you remember that.
Peace.
Love.
Abundance.
Friendliness.
Beauty.
Your inner sanctuary.
