What to expect

Day 1 - Arrival, Connection & Desert Calm
Saturday, 27 December, from 3:00 PM

Your journey begins after the sun starts to move and the shade from the mountain welcomes us.
We gather in the quiet sand paddock with the horses under the ghaf tree for grounding practices and a gentle introduction to the horses as well as first connecting exercises, reflecting on where we are right now - in this space, but also in our life. 

Highlights of Day 1

  • Welcome circle & grounding meditation
  • Equine connection session – slowing down through mindful interaction with horses
  • Horse-guided reflection on what you want to release before entering 2026
  • Time to wander, journal, breathe, and enjoy the desert silence
  • Dinner under the stars
  • A calm, technology-free evening with storytelling and guided stargazing

Sleep in the luxurious 5 star glamping set up surrounded by the peaceful stillness of the desert - one of the most healing environments for the nervous system.

Day 2  Visioning, Alignment & Creating Your 2026
Sunday 28 December, until 12:30 PM

Wake up to soft desert light and a new sense of clarity.
If you feel like it, join our sunrise meditation, or stay tugged under the blanket and get the rest you need.
This morning is dedicated to alignment, imagination, and creation.

Highlights of Day 2

  • Sunrise meditation & intention setting (if you want)
  • Horse-guided empowerment session – connecting intuition with embodied leadership
  • Closing ceremony with the herd to visualize your next chapter, draw your dreams, and map your intentions
  • Pack your tent and move to the archeological site for late breakfast 
  • Vision Board Creation for 2026
  • Manifestation Circle – aligning your vision with emotion, clarity, and grounded actions

Leave the desert with your personalized vision board, a renewed sense of direction, and a calm inner foundation for the new year.

Why horses?

Horses reflect our inner world with honesty, softness, and presence.
They help us:

  • Slow down and come back into our bodies

They are powerful guides when stepping into a new beginning.
