Stille der Wüste Retreat​
Merzouga Oasis, Morocco | April 21-27, 2017
​
Yoga, Meditation, Healing and Spiritual Awakening, feat. Special Guest Sound Healer Larissa Israel
In silence you can hear your soul and discover its secrets and yearnings. When you see, honour and love our soul, its beautiful light will appear - pure, powerful and beautiful.
In the silence of the desert you will discover yourself on all dimensions of your being. You will come closer to your truth in an unforgettable way. In this beautiful space, free of judgement, full of love and trust you can fully open yourself for a deep look inside yourself. You will experience your connection to the universe in a completely new way. The spirit of the desert will touch you deeply and lead you to places of inner wisdom and clarity. In silence, we see what moves us and reconnect with parts of yourself that we deemed lost. We connect with ourselves in compassion and love. We become still and let go. We free our mind and heal our heart. Your true self will appear and you will experience yourself as the pure light you are. You will experience deep peace and pure bliss.
Let yourself fall into this new culture that you may have always know. The pure hearts of the Berbers will be present throughout your entire journey. Connect with the love and open hearts of these people. You will experience this connection with all your senses: through the delicious food, by feeling their endless friendliness and hospitality, through the drum sounds around the fire. Together, we will sing, dance, laugh and simply be.

More information on Larissa Israel
I invite you to become one with your essence in my individual sessions. My healing work happens from the heart and with the intention of full truth and clarity. The sacral sounds with their soft, yet powerful effect allow us to experience our inner health with its unique sound signature through stimulation, calming, and rebalancing. The holistic symphony of sounds, colorful silk, natural essence, light and healing hands is a multi-dimensional experience for the senses that will touch you on all dimensions of your being. My healing sessions are intuitive, guided by the divine and based on well-known systems such as acupuncture, TCM, five-element-teachings and the meridian and chakra system. This holistic approach helps us to remember that everything is already in us. Be harmony! Be music!
Sound healing meditation
Let all dimensions of your being be touched by the sound healing meditation, wrapped into the unique sound atmosphere of devotion. It will refine your consciousness, open the resonance spaces within your body so you can receive the healing effect of the sounds. You will experience your true self in total abundance. Acoustic instruments unite with the voice, healing songs and color frequencies to rebalance yourself and your surrounding. Your brain waves and body rhythm sync with the vibration of those sacral sounds and will bring you more vitality, regeneration, grounding and a feeling of being one. The sound healing meditations expand your consciousness. The special harmonies, rhythms and intervals will be synced in an intuitive and inspiring way and enhance the frequency of the entire group.
