ABOUT THIS RETREAT

Four nights of ancient ritual, fire, and the kind of stillness only the desert knows.

There is a reason humans have gathered in ceremony for thousands of years. Not for transformation as a concept, but for transformation as a felt experience — witnessed by others, held by fire, marked by the body. The Desert Ceremony is four nights in a private riad on the edge of Marrakech, drawing on North African healing traditions, somatic ritual and the particular quality of attention that only candlelight and open sky seem to produce. This is not a yoga retreat. There are no schedules printed on paper. Each evening builds on the last, and by the final night, something in you will have shifted — quietly, irrevocably, and entirely on your own terms.

WHAT AWAITS YOU

Four evenings of ceremony, held in the oldest healing tradition of all — gathering.

Days are slow and unstructured. The riad, the hammam, the souks at dawn if you want them. But as the sun drops each evening, the group comes together — and something changes in the air. Guided by Maya Alves, each ceremony draws on a different element: water, earth, fire, air. The somatic work is gentle but precise. You won't be performing anything. You'll simply be present while something moves through you.

YOUR GUIDE

Maya Alves.

Somatic Therapist · Retreat Lead · 12 Years Practice

Maya has spent twelve years working at the intersection of somatic therapy and contemplative practice — first as a trauma-informed bodyworker in Lisbon, later as a retreat lead across Bali, Costa Rica and the Scottish Highlands. She doesn't teach healing. She creates the conditions for it. Her sessions are quiet, precise, and deeply felt.

SUPPORTING GUIDE

Daniel Osei.

Sound Healer · Breathwork Facilitator

Daniel came to sound healing through music, not wellness — a decade as a percussionist before a personal crisis sent him looking for something quieter. What he found changed everything. He now works with Tibetan bowls, gongs and the breath to guide people into states of deep nervous system rest. His sessions are unhurried, intuitive, and often wordless. Participants frequently describe them as the most profound hour of a retreat.

  • The Bali retreat gave me something no amount of therapy had — a direct encounter with my own silence. I came back changed.
