The Road Junky Sahara Retreat For Travelers February 6-11 2012

30 travelers walk out into the sand dunes of the Sahara for 6 days.
Last year’s Sahara Retreat was just awesome.
Everyone came so close together in just a few days and have stayed in touch as the friendships made on the retreat last way beyond it. Finding ourselves in an enchanting environment with all the time in the world to think, meet new people and reflect on where we’re going with our lives – it was bound to bring us all together.
This year we’ve extended the retreat to make it 6 days in the desert and we have 2 teachers coming to teach yoga in the mornings, aikido and dance in the afternoons. The usual quality of musicians will keep us dancing and singing around the camp fire and we climb the biggest dune at sunset to meditate in silence.
