M'Barek Et Talmoudi
 

"It is my pleasure to share my experiences as a nomad and my culture with you." He spent his childhood in the desert. As nomads, they moved from oasis to oasis, living simply and close to nature. Not only the stories M'Barek tells and the traditional life you experience with him make you feel that M'Barek comes from another world. Around him you feel calm, relaxed and deep. During the retreat, M'Barek provides you with wonderful delicacies, guides you through the high dunes of Chegaga and listens to you if you want him to.

Anja Chrétien
 

"Yoga lets me arrive within myself. I share this experience with you." As a passionate gymnast, yoga found its way to Anja in 2010 and she has been practicing passionately ever since. After the three-month sadhana retreat [Hamneda / Sweden] in 2019, she started teaching yoga and has her own studio in Laufental / Switzerland since 2020. Highly motivated and full of joy, Anja passes on her experience and knowledge in classical yoga and hatha yoga to you. Hatha [ Ha: Sun / Tha: Moon ] allows you to find a healthy balance between activity and relaxation.

Jessica Bilali
 

"I love to capture people in their essence and to be in contact with them." Jessica has travelled a lot and met many people in her search for herself. This has enabled her to really perceive her joy in people. For it is only through the heartfelt listening of her counterpart that it becomes possible to see the world from a different perspective. With much understanding and devotion she also listens to you.

your week of transformation

When we are in silence, we are essence.

We want to discover this place of essence - of silence - together.

The power of the Sahara is unique and has an unbelievably deep effect. As empty and monotonous as it may seem, it is full of life and mysticism. Just like you. Your uniqueness, your being is as unique and precious as the Sahara. We give you and your being space. Space to be and space to rest. Because when you get in touch with yourself, you are completely in the now. And the now is pure peace. That is where we are going. With you.

To find the way into this stillness, we practise yoga twice a day. With our experienced yogini Anja, we experience individual sessions. Yoga is meant to help you release blockages and let you flow freely.

Spending time in the desert together with M'Barek is an incredible experience. He fascinates with his nature and his experience as a desert nomad and draws you into the spell of 1001 Nights.

So that your issues have space, the entire week is accompanied by the sensitive healer Jessica. Whenever you wish to be accompanied by her in your issues, she is there for you.

A unique, mystical week awaits you.

We are happy that you will follow your call and find your way to us.

Our retreat in detail

You arrive in Tagounite in the evening at 9 pm and are warmly welcomed by M'Barek, Anja and Jessica. We organise your luggage and transport to the Romana Garden project by tuktuk so that you can enjoy the beautiful starry sky. We get to know each other over a traditional dinner. You will soon fall into a magical sleep and wake up fresh the next morning.

After a wonderful night, a traditional breakfast with delicious tea awaits you. Because the journey to Tagounite is very long, there is a gentle arrival before we set off into the dunes. Because Romana Garden is a special project and it is worth giving something to this place. Jessica guides the group through Romana Garden and you get in touch with permaculture and learn what exactly Romana Garden does. The group gets closer through this shared activity and we experience our dynamics.
After lunch we come together for an extended round of introductions. Afterwards, there will be yoga with Anja for the first time and a delicious dinner.
All evenings are free to arrange. However, we offer to come together as a group and exchange ideas.

After your second restful night and morning yoga with a hearty breakfast, we set off for the high dunes. We make a few stops along the way. We enjoy lunch on the way and arrive at the dunes of Chegaga in the evening. You have plenty of time to arrive and explore the dunes. We meet again for dinner and offer being together around the campfire.

Directly after getting up we meet for yoga and a healthy breakfast together. Afterwards we set off with the camels into the dunes and set up camp there. We spend one night in Berber tents in the middle of the dunes. This experience is our highlight. Under the stars in the middle of the dunes like the old Berbers - and dune yoga.
M'Barek invites us to share stories from times gone by.

The next morning, after invigorating morning yoga and breakfast, we pack up our camp and ride the camels back to camp. Time to be. We come together again for lunch, dinner and yoga. In between you are free.

The last day in the dunes dawns and this day we dedicate to silence. M'Barek takes us into the dunes not far from the camp and gives each of us the opportunity to sit alone in the dunes for a few hours. He will pick you up again after about 2 hours. It is important that you do not leave your spot. It is difficult to orientate yourself in the dunes and it takes M'Barek's experience to find your way. You are free to participate in this experience. We will come back together for the evening yoga.

The last morning in the dunes dawns and after yoga + breakfast we start our return journey.
Once we arrive in Romana Garden, there are several options. A you go straight home and drive to Marrakech the same day. B You stay one night and go to Marrakech early in the morning. C You stay in the project after one night and stay until you catch your connection in the afternoon. D you stay two nights and go back on Sunday.

And we wish you all the best for your further journey and are overjoyed to have made your acquaintance.

Thank you <3
