A magical time in the middle of the dunes in Merzouga Desert.
Fantastic local musicians and guest musicians from Europe.
A privileged movement journey to integrate 2024 and open space and clarity for 2025.
We will be welcomed in a little traditional camp set 18 years ago for the first retreat Guillaume organised with local Berber friends.
Merzouga Desert is filled with magertuous stary sky and the high dunes are amazing dance and play grounds for our explorations.
The black rock desert is also a stunning place for one very special session and expand until the high cliffs that creats the natural borders with the Algerian Sahara Desert.
Our host are generous and friendly, experienced in welcoming us for almost 20 years and keen to share the dance and music with us for this special time of celebration.
If you wish to expand your stay in Morocco, Guillaume will as well recommand a dear friends, professional montain guide that organise 2 to 10 days hikes in the Atlas valleys and mountains, a perfect way to start you stay in Morocco before the retreat or to integrate the intensity of our time together. Little groups usualy expand their stay to go hiking together enjoying silent walks and warm sharings with Berber families.
Other tips can be shared with participants wishing to spend time by the Ocean before or after this immersion in the heart of the Desert.
