"JOURNEY TO YOURSELF" ~ not just a trip to Egypt
A Journey of Self-Discovery
Join our transformative nature therapy retreat set in the stunning landscapes of Egypt. Over 8 days, we will journey through the desert and the sea, creating space to reconnect with your body, quiet your mind, and meet your soul.
This retreat has no rigid timetable; instead, it offers a self-discovery journey that follows the natural rhythm of life, letting each moment unfold as it should. It’s a flow. A slowing down to match the rhythm of nature, to be present in every moment. We embrace time, take what is needed, and deeply connect with the landscapes around us.
Daily sessions are designed to help you dive into what’s calling for your attention — whether it’s something already present in your life or something that arises along the way.
We open a space for:
what wants to be seen
what seeks to be understood
what needs to be released
Whether you call this journey a time-out, self-reflection, therapy, or healing, the name is yours to choose. It could be the beginning, or the continuation, of a spiritual path. Ultimately, it’s your journey.

The Landscape of the Desert & Sea as Our Natural Guides
Both landscapes, the desert and the sea, act as powerful mirrors and companions on this journey. Through the outer nature, we connect with our inner nature.
Our retreat begins in the DESERT.
As an Arabic proverb says:
"He who goes into the desert will not remain the same person he was before."
Quiet.
Vast horizons.
Star-lit clarity.
Your gaze softens and turns inward.
We move towards the essential,
releasing what is unnecessary.
What remains is filled with significance and power.
Then, we arrive at the SEA.
The sea, the origin of all life on Earth,
carries the qualities of a great mother.
It nurtures, devours, and rebirths.
Its waves embody
both the yearning for faraway places
and the longing for home.
This eternal restlessness mirrors
our ever-changing emotions,
helping us dive deep
into the richness of our inner world.
The Pillars of the Retreat
1. Connecting with Your Outer & Inner Nature
Our retreat offers a journey inward, where you can tap into your deeper wisdom and acknowledge what’s present.
2. Music & Movement
Let music touch you, and let movement free you. We’ll move through rhythms, liberating both body and heart.
3. Being in Community
Be part of a supportive community, where you'll be both challenged and held.
Cooking together forms an essential part of the experience—it’s a practice deeply rooted in togetherness, where we share, create, and nourish.
4. Process-Orientation
We move at a natural pace, letting each experience unfold as it should. There’s plenty of time for the process and ample space for yourself.
