Desert retreat in the Wadi Rum, Jordan

/ per person

(0 Reviews)

A retreat is there to withdraw for a while, often in a quiet place in nature. Just nothing, a pause to reflect. Step out of your everyday activities for a while. You are allowed to be there, in the here and now. There are no distractions, limited connection or wifi. It is about the meaning of your existence, about your personal expectations that are central to your life. This desert retreat is there for you, because you are the one who is most important now. Ingrained patterns in your life get a different dimension. You take this journey home with you and can return to it again and again later. Do you dare to give yourself a desert retreat as a gift?

Tour Plan

Arrival in the Wadi Rum desert, overnight stay in a Bedouin desert camp or "Wildflower of the Desert"

Welcome to a week-long stay in the desert, Wadi Rum. In the afternoon you will arrive in the Wadi Rum desert to first acclimatize, go out on your own, explore your surroundings and prepare for the retreat.

Dinner

Dinner in the evening is a foretaste of what awaits you in healthy delights during this journey. Prepared with love.

Overnight stay

You can choose to sleep in a Bedouin desert camp in a beautiful place in the desert. With your private bathroom in the "tent", which is solidly built. Embraced by rocks, a sand dune, with a view of a wide valley. Or you choose to spend the night at "Wildflower of the Desert", our place in the desert, surrounded by all the animals that have their own places. You have your own tent there with the communal large terrace in front of the tent, a private bathroom about 10 meters from your tent. The freedom to walk to the village or enjoy the desert. The varied meals are prepared with many vegetables and herbs freshly picked from our own garden. Most activities during the retreat take place here.

Retreat day 1, introduction and start of the retreat

Today you move to the rhythm of the desert.

Meditation

A relaxing meditation that often includes a thought for the day.

Insight card

Drawing an insight card as a start for where you are now, often an inspiration for exploring what is going on in you now. You will be amazed at how you usually choose the card with your energy that is so appropriate for the process you are in at that moment. There are various decks of cards available, sometimes with a catchy sentence that you take with you during the day, or decks of cards that are more extensive with even exercises that you can apply.

Energy Healing

As a common thread, you receive energy healing in different ways on every day of your retreat. Depending on your personal process, the choice is determined for the day. The only thing you are asked is to be open to these processes that are often received in your subconscious and do their work unconsciously. While you do notice the results in your conscious state of being.

How does energy healing work

Everything around you is energy, you are energy, even your words and thoughts are energy. If you wonder how it works, think in terms of using your smart- or i-phone. How is it possible that you can call someone on the other side of the world without wiring? Wifi? A small device with antennas and access point, often already a chip built into your phone or computer. The access point sends and receives data via radio waves through the air. With energy healing you tap into the worldwide available ether net. Invisible but still there. That is why energy healing works, even at a distance to the other side of the world. A natural process. How often does it happen that you think of someone who contacts you a little later. Telepathy? Or both present at the same time on the same energy frequency that makes this special connection possible.

Tapping into energy healing

You don't have to do much for it, the energy is already there, becoming aware of this energy and noticing what it brings you is enough to work with these energies. Maybe reluctantly at first, but soon, when you see what it brings you, you tap into this network more consciously. You determine how your life will change positively. Yes, you can develop this to make better to maximum use of this natural energy.

Introduction

Every day has a theme. Today we get to know each other. You will get to know energy healing and how you can use it, also in your further life. We make energy healing visible in different ways and resources.

Lunch

Fresh ingredients, usually supplemented with what grows in vegetables, herbs and wild harvest from the garden, the green oasis at "Wildflower of the desert" form the basis. It is a challenge to grow something in the desert. With permaculture and electroculture together with home-made compost in which the manure of horses and chickens is also processed, it is starting to become increasingly greener. Everything grows in a natural way, without using toxic substances. You know that what you eat is your medicine for a healthy energetic life.

Dinner and overnight stay

Depending on what you choose, in a Bedouin camp in the desert or "Wildflower of the Desert", you eat a delicious healthy and freshly made dinner and spend the night at the place of your choice. In between you can of course also change sleeping place.

Retreat day 2, the animal as a personal coach

Coaching by animals

The animals present at "Wildflower of the Desert" have a special added value. Besides the fact that the horses are there for the desert rides, the chickens lay fresh eggs, the dogs "guard" the place, the cats ensure that small vermin, unfortunately sometimes also a flying animal, keep the place free of unwanted visitors. They are also therapeutically knowledgeable to use their often ancestral wisdom, in the power of the herd in which they can accept you, in the retreat. You make contact with an animal that has already "chosen" you. To show you something, to let you feel or to pay attention to. The animals are able to heal you on an energy level. They scan you upon entering and "know" who you are and what you come for. They are energetic animals that, after their "remarks", immediately give you the right heart-to-heart energy to start your healing journey. Moreover, they quickly penetrate to the source of the reason why you want to follow this retreat. They are good at breaking through rigid patterns.

Totem animal

Which animal accompanies you on your journey, is it an animal that you have met before in your dreams, thoughts or is a new animal passing by many times? With the help of a meditation that will be about animals you will gain more insight. What is the meaning at soul level of this animal? In what can it guide you?

Energy of the animals

Do you have an animal yourself or do you think you have little to do with animals? Here you can experience what it does to you to be in their energy, and how you feel afterwards. From small animals to horses.

Playing with the animals and observing

Every animal, no matter how young or old, loves to be playful. And you? Do you still dare to play like a child, to wonder, to lose track of time, to do crazy things, no matter what age you are? Whether it is walking the dogs outside, or sitting in a spot with the chickens and pigeons in their house. Or playing together with the horses in their paddock. They will encourage you in their play. Do not forget to observe the animals. How do they interact with each other, the competitive element that comes up and how they interact with each other. In addition to playing carefree with each other, you will also learn a lot from the relationships between the animals. You can certainly recognize certain people in the animals with whom you have a lot to do.

Telepathy with animals

How do you make contact, how do you connect? How can you understand animals better? Do they understand you? Language is not a barrier, they understand you. That's how you can understand animals. In most cases telepathically. Yes, you can do that too.

Meals and accommodation

Of course you will receive a healthy lunch again, dinner awaits you in the desert camp or if you have decided to sleep near the animals, at "Wildflower of the Desert". Wherever you sleep.

Retreat day 3, creativity and movement

Creative expressions and movement of your body, a playful day. Everything is on the table such as paper, pencils, watercolors, wool, crochet hook and knitting needles to choose from. One prefers to write, the other draws or paints or works with wool. Or a mix. Do you have other wishes, ask for them.

Vision board

Creating a vision board can be very moving. We go into the desert to collect all sorts of things that you can use to bring your hopes, dreams, desires and goals together in a piece of art by your hand in the sand.

Music and dancing

It is wonderful to move to music, to loosen your body by dancing to music. Also bring your own suitable music. You are in an Arab country where everyone can belly dance. With some basic principles you can do this too. You are in a closed space to let yourself be completely absorbed by your movements.

Camel riding

Is also movement, the calm rocking movement of the camel can even bring you into a meditative state. The camels are connected to each other as in a caravan, the guide rides or walks in front to guide the camels.

Lunch, dinner and overnight stay

Every day in the desert these basic needs are present. The food is prepared with love. The overnight stay at the place of your choice.

Retreat day 4, with the Bedouins through the desert, overnight stay under the stars

On an expedition into the desert with the Bedouins

With the fully loaded jeep you travel with the Bedouins into the desert. Especially off the beaten tourist paths. At beautiful places you stop to climb a sand dune, walk a bit, enjoy the extensive viewpoints. To scramble on a rock that appeals to you. You are on the road all day.

Visit to authentically living Bedouins

An increasingly rare sight in the desert. Bedouins who still travel around the desert as nomads with their herd. Their tents where they temporarily live mark the place with the fence where the animals are housed. They are difficult to trace because there is not a connection everywhere. Often it is a further drive into the desert. We usually find them, they welcome the guests with a cup of tea. Their tent is only equipped with what is really necessary to live. Yet everything is there. Their animals are their life. The animals provide them with milk and milk can be used to make all kinds of things, such as yoghurt. It is wonderfully inspiring to see how these people have a happy life, living to the rhythm of the desert, with their herd. How they have a lot of movement in nature. It is a choice because most of them also have a house in the village.

Sand bath

Unique to experience this therapy far away in the warm sand of the desert. Bring light cotton clothing that you can sweat in. Afterwards there are a number of sun-warmed bottles of water ready to rinse you off in a private spot.

Lunch, dinner and overnight stay under the stars

For lunch, a special spot has been chosen to stay for a while. Lunch is freshly prepared for everyone, often with a magnificent view. Have you ever slept outside? Tonight you will sleep on a mattress under the stars, the moon, the Milky Way, the shooting stars that you can count. The Bedouins have chosen a nice place for dinner and the sleeping in nature. The wood has already been collected for the campfire. The camp that is specially prepared for this night has everything you need for a wonderful stay, a tasty traditional dinner and the night. Once you are under the covers and you feel the soft breeze on your face, you know that it is not a dream. You live the Bedouin life and feel the freedom of the nomad who decides for himself when it is time to move on.

Retreat day 5, bringing together all your experiences

After breakfast you return to your familiar spot at "Wildflower of the Desert" to continue your retreat. A shower to freshen up is available. Today an overview of all your experiences and where you are now. What still needs attention, what still comes up, what are your wishes.

Arabian Therapy

Adapted to your process. To connect your body, mind and soul. To form a unity again and be in balance.

Energy Healing

A journey through the gemstones. What do they mean to you, what does it release.

Lunch, dinner and overnight stay

As you are used to from the other days. Living in the rhythm of the desert.

Retreat day 6, wisdom and confirmation

The last day of your intensive retreat journey.

Wisdoms that you take with you

What wisdom do you take back home with you? What were the breakthroughs and what limiting beliefs have you left behind. Where have you grown, changed. What do you want to change in your life to be more yourself. How do you continue? Working on yourself is a lifelong process. During a time of change, processes are released that you may view again. Now you have everything in house to continue. Your loving self enables you to always heal where necessary.

Arabian therapy

Another wonderful wellness moment of loving touch by professional soft healing hands. To prepare you for your next journey back to your own life.

Festive day

Life is a party, you have to throw your own party. So also with the retreat, allow yourself that party. And know that if you ever run into something again, go for it, dive in because afterwards you can throw your own party again.

Lunch, dinner and last overnight stay in the desert

As in the rhythm of every day, but just a little bit different.

Departure from the desert

After breakfast you will continue your journey or go home. The driver will pick you up to take you to your destination. You have spent a week collecting experiences and adventures in the desert that you will take home with you to further develop, to remember. You have built a solid foundation that enriches your life.
