Walking toward yourself
Trek & Kundalini Yoga Retreat, Introspective Writing in the Desert
May 8–15, 2027 – Mhamid El Ghizlane, Moroccan Sahara
Imagine yourself walking at the slow rhythm of the camels, surrounded by the immensity of golden dunes, with the silence of the desert as your only companion. Far from the noise of the world, you are invited to return to the essential: Who am I, truly?
This retreat weaves together the ancestral power of Kundalini Yoga (in the lineage of Yogi Bhajan) and creative exploration through introspective writing. Guided by Nathalie Fanja HAABY (Shanti Deva), you will journey with body, heart, and spirit to reconnect with your deepest essence.
Your guide
My name is Nathalie Fanja HAABY. Of Franco‑Malagasy origin, born and raised in Dakar, I am a clinical psychologist, psychotherapist, Kundalini Yoga teacher, and artist.
My path is one of profound interconnection — between body and mind, humans and nature, the sensitive and the sacred. After years of clinical psychology work (education, social work, disability, and healthcare) and an artistic practice nourished by visual arts, dance, writing, slam poetry, and music, Kundalini Yoga illuminated my life. Rooted in the spiritual path of Tantra, anchored in tradition yet joyful, accessible, and deeply human, it reconciles body and mind, shadow and light, feminine and masculine, humanity and divinity.
What will you experience
- Nomadic walking : Authentic trek with camels and nomadic guides (3h30–4h per day), bivouacs under the stars, traditional meals prepared by the team.
- Morning Kundalini Yoga practice (about 1h30) on the dunes at sunrise.
- Breathwork, meditation (30 minutes), and moments of silence to cultivate inner calm.
- Creative and introspective writing sessions (late afternoon or early evening): guided exercises on emotions, values, deep impulses, pleasure, self‑revelation, and clarifying priorities.
- Special evening : universal mantras and sacred chants to celebrate life and unity.
- Free time : personal integration, rest, kind‑hearted conversations around the fire, connection with nature and nomadic culture.
The desert becomes your teacher: its vastness reflects your potential, its silence amplifies your inner voice.
