THE SAHARA IS CALLING YOU
Embark on a life-changing journey with Atelier Du Mon's Sahara Retreat in Morocco, from March 2nd to 9th. We begin in Marrakech, where you'll spend your first and last nights in a charming Riad, soaking in the city's vibrant atmosphere.
​
The retreat then takes you into the heart of the Sahara, where daily yoga and meditation sessions under the expansive desert sky will guide you toward your truest self. Experience the profound silence of the desert—a silence that is pure, transformative, and perfect for deep self-discovery.
​
Our retreat is about going back to basics, shedding the layers of daily roles, and reconnecting with your most authentic self. In the vast desert, you’ll find the space to let go, breathe deeply, and come home to who you truly are.
​
Each day includes two to three hours of guided trekking with local nomads, who will reveal the desert’s hidden secrets and provide all necessary comforts, including meals, drinks, and cozy tents. Embrace the simplicity, beauty, and peace of the Sahara, and let this adventure be your path to profound self-discovery.
