THE DESERT WISDOM: AWAKENING IN THE SAHARA

A 7-Day Cellular Reset in the Moroccan Sahara for the High-Functioning and the Decision-Fatigued. Exchange the noise of a “constant-on” life for the ancient silence of the dunes. This isn’t just a retreat; it’s a radical unplugging designed to return you to your baseline of peace.

Do you feel like you have 50 browser tabs open in your brain? You’ve tried the 1-hour yoga classes. You’ve tried the meditation apps. But the “background hum” of stress never truly leaves. To find yourself, you don’t need another “wellness activity”—you need a geographic and digital interruption. In the Sahara, there is no signal. There is no “to-do” list. There is only the vastness of the Erg Chebbi and the sound of your own breath.

The “Desert Wisdom” Journey: From Burnout to Brilliance

This is Not “Glamping.” This is Refined Primitivism.

Unlike commercial retreats, we prioritize immersion over decoration.

Ancestral Rhythms: Sleep in authentic bivouacs under a sky so dark you can see the edge of the galaxy. Eat chef-prepared meals infused with medicinal desert spices.

Frequency Healing: Facilitated by Fatima Teixeira, we use sound as a tool to bypass the logical mind and heal the body at a vibrational level.SHARE IT WITH A SMALL GROUP OF LIKEMINDED PEOPLE

True Silence: We venture 250km into the desert, far beyond the tourist tracks, to find the “Sound of Zero”—the literal absence of man-made noise.

YOUR INSTRUCTORS

YIN YOGA & PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT 

I am Jennifer, a Yoga instructor certified by YOGARENEW.

After being a director for many years, I witnessed firsthand the profound impact that modern life has on mental health. Both my team, colleagues, friends, and I dealt with stress, and I could see how it eroded our self-esteem and overall well-being. The demands of the workplace, combined with the fast pace of our personal lives, leave little room for true self-care.

Over the last year, I dedicated myself to exploring various techniques and methodologies to manage stress and strengthen self-confidence. I experimented with yoga, meditation, dietary adjustments, coaching practices, and travelled around the world. These experiences transformed my life, helping me achieve a sense of balance and renewed self-esteem. However, they also made me realise that human beings are complex, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution.

This journey inspired me to create MyShiftUp, a platform designed to unlock balance and well-being for all through simple and effective techniques and practices.
