‘IMMERSION INTO THE LIVING EARTH’

From mineral mountains, through oases and ancient kasbahs, into the vastness of the Sahara

26nd of March – 3rd of April 2027 | Marocco

For a while now, I have had this idea of going to Morocco together. Eight days, starting in Marrakech and slowly travelling south: from the mountains, through an oasis, and eventually into the vastness of the Sahara.

What really drew me in was discovering a place in the Atlas Mountains where crystals and minerals occur naturally throughout the landscape. You don’t go there to look at crystals; you walk among them, in the earth where they were formed. There is something about being among stones formed long before us that changes the scale of things.

This is what I want this journey to be about: not stepping away from life, but stepping far enough outside our usual surroundings to experience it differently.

EXPLORE THE JOURNEY

The Journey

Marrakech

We begin our journey in Marrakech.

For some of you, this may be your first encounter with Morocco: the colours, the smells, the food, the markets, the movement, and the unfamiliarity of being somewhere completely different.

We walk, eat, explore, wander through the souks and spend time together. Being somewhere unfamiliar asks something simple of us: to look again, to listen, to find our way without relying entirely on what we already know.

The next morning, we leave the city behind and drive towards the Atlas. The streets gradually give way to open land, and the mountains begin to appear.

Reviews

Section 2

– Dhawli 34, Immersion –

“This immersion gave me the space to finally see how much I had been holding myself back. Through the rituals, the connection with other women and the depth of the work, old patterns of self-suppression began to surface and soften. I feel more free to be myself, to trust my feelings and to speak what I truly want. What touched me most was discovering that my inner strength does not have to be loud or forceful, it can be soft, grounded and deeply powerful.”

The desert revealed how past experiences had shaped the way I muted both difficult and joyful emotions. During the journey, I released the need to keep pretending to be someone I wasn’t.

I feel lighter now. People around me have noticed a new warmth in me. I think more before I speak, and I no longer feel the need to say things that don’t feel true. I notice that I judge less and meet life with greater openness.

This journey brought moments of challenge, sorrow, connection, ecstatic joy, and deep love. It changed the way I relate to myself and to others.

Section 1

— Paul 42, Immersion —

“This is certainly not an abstract concept, but literally an immersion into deeper layers of yourself, where it becomes difficult to hide behind the familiar roles and behaviours of everyday life.

The support from Florine, the team, the group, and the setting created a space that felt safe enough to be radically honest with myself.

The journey gave me more self-confidence, greater flexibility in navigating life’s uncertainties, and a deeper trust in my own experience. It continues to unfold long after returning home.”

“The Immersion was for me, all about meeting my boundaries and softening them. We climbed and connected with the highest mountain of Egypt. We slept under the stars, under the bright moon, and I saw the most magnificent sunrises. I laughed, I surrendered, I shared, and I felt utter despair and ecstatic joy. It was all there, intertwined into one journey that has brought me humility, gratitude, and infinite gifts that still echo within.”

Section 2

— Rita 44, Immersion —

“The sea embraced me with softness and love. The mountains invited me to see beyond the human experience and remember that everything is connected through one heartbeat. The desert, my home, revealed an infinite space of silence and the depth of my own heart, where wisdom and magic unfold.

I feel more softness in the way I move through life, speak, and relate to others. The rest continues to unfold.”

“The Immersion into the Self was, for me, all about meeting my boundaries and softening them. We climbed and connected with the highest mountain of Egypt. We slept under the stars, under the bright moon, and I saw the most magnificent sunrises. I laughed, I cried, I sang, I danced, and I felt utter despair and ecstatic joy. It was all there, intertwined into one journey that has brought me humility, gratitude, and infinite gifts that still echo within.”

The mountains

We enter a landscape in which the earth is not simply the background to the journey, but part of the experience itself. Minerals and crystals occur naturally throughout the landscape, formed by geological forces long before us. You don’t go there to look at crystals; you walk through the landscape in which they were formed.

You walk, you look, you explore. You pick up a stone because something about it catches your eye. You turn it over in your hands. You may find a crystal. You may recognise something immediately. There is something wonderfully compelling about not knowing what the ground will reveal.

We spend several days here. There will be long walks, time outside, time alone and time together, and space for deeper facilitated work through embodiment and systemic constellations. But the days are not filled with exercises or explanations. There is room for the mountains, the stones, the silence and the time itself.

And from here, we continue south.

The oasis

From the mountains we continue south towards the oasis. The landscape changes again: palms, water, earth, old kasbahs and small villages.

We spend one night here. There is time to walk around, see some of the local crafts, eat, talk, explore and simply experience another part of Morocco.

The desert

The further south we travel, the more the landscape opens. The mountains fall away, the roads narrow, and eventually the Sahara opens before us.

We stay for two nights. The first evening is about arriving: walking into the dunes, watching the light change, eating together and sitting around the fire as the sky becomes dark. The following day, you step away from the others and spend time alone in the desert.

What is life asking of me now?

There is a long human tradition of stepping away from ordinary life and spending time alone in nature. Across many Indigenous traditions, solitude and prayer have been part of a deeper relationship with the land, the spiritual world and the community. What is received is not simply a personal insight to take home. It can carry responsibility, something to see, understand, carry or do.

What is life asking of me now?

You take the question with you into the vastness of the Sahara. For a while, there is nothing to attend to but the land, your own body and what is present in you. You stay with the question without trying to force an answer, and allow whatever is there to become known in its own time.

From the mineral mountains to the oasis and into the vastness of the Sahara. The landscape keeps changing and with it, the ways in which you meet yourself.

After the desert, we travel back towards the mountains and spend one final night there before making our way to the airport.

Rather than going straight from the desert to the airport, there is time to sleep, eat, walk, talk and be together again. The landscape becomes familiar again, and slowly so does the rhythm of ordinary life.

The following day, we leave the mountains and make our way towards the airport for the journey home.

And then we go back to our lives. To the people we love, the work we do, the choices we make, and the things that were already waiting for us before we left. What has been seen, felt or understood along the way comes with us.

RESERVE YOUR PLACE

GET TO KNOW

Florine Gabriel

For as long as I can remember, I have experienced life through a sensitivity that felt both natural and difficult to explain. As a child, I sensed things before I understood them. What moved beneath words, what remained unspoken, and the deeper currents shaping people, relationships and life itself.

Like many people, I learned to trust what could be explained more than what could be sensed. Over time, that deeper knowing became impossible to ignore. It changed the way I work and the way I understand transformation: clarity is rarely something we create.

For many years, I have worked with embodiment, systemic constellations, breathwork, energetic awareness, mindfulness and relational inquiry, both in individual work and in intimate group immersions.

More often, it becomes visible when we stop moving away from what we already know. What matters to me is not the method itself, but the quality of attention we bring to what is actually happening.

This is part of why Morocco feels so right for this journey.

I wanted to create an experience where the work is not separate from the place we are in. Where we can walk among ancient mountains and minerals, move through palm-filled oases, and eventually arrive in the vastness of the Sahara. There will be facilitated work, but also long stretches of simply being there, looking, walking, listening and experiencing what is in front of us.

My role is to hold the group and the space with care, and to know when to guide and when to step back.

The rest belongs to the journey.

TRANSPORT & TRAVEL

The journey begins and ends in Marrakech.

You make your own way to Marrakech, and from there all transport during the immersion is arranged for you. From the Atlas Mountains through the Draa Valley and into the Sahara, and back to Marrakech for the journey home.

Full practical information, including arrival details and what to bring, will be shared after registration.

‘Transformation rarely happens through a single insight. More often, it unfolds through the way new awareness is integrated into everyday life.’

WHAT THIS IMMERSION INCLUDES

Eight days in Morocco, travelling from Marrakech through the mineral mountains, the Draa Valley and into the Sahara.

The journey combines time in the landscape with carefully placed moments of systemic, energy and embodied work. There are long walks, exploration, time alone, shared meals and time together. Some days will hold more facilitated work; others will be shaped by walking, being outdoors, solitude or simply experiencing where we are.

The work is responsive to what is present rather than organised around a fixed programme. What matters is staying close to what is actually happening, in the body, in the group and in the landscape.

Preparations before the journey

Before departure, you will receive all practical information for the journey, including what to bring and what to expect from the mountain and desert days. You will also have access to a live online gathering where we connect as a group, set intentions and begin preparing for the immersion together.

Accommodation

We spend seven nights across very different landscapes: in the vibrance of Marrakech, in the Atlas Mountains, in the Draa Valley oasis and in the Sahara.

We stay in a riad, a mountain guesthouse, an oasis setting and a remote desert camp. Room arrangements and accommodation details will be shared after registration.

Nourishing vegetarian meals

Vegetarian breakfast, lunch and dinner are included throughout the journey.

Fresh daily meals are prepared locally and shared together along the way, offering simple, nourishing food throughout the immersion.

Transport & travel

You make your own way to Marrakech. From there, all transport during the immersion is arranged for you, with the group travelling together between the different locations.

Full arrival and departure information will be shared after registration.

Integration & continuity

The process does not end when the immersion concludes. A post-immersion integration call supports the transition back into daily life and the continued unfolding of what has been experienced.

Ongoing community connection

Participants remain connected through a private community space before and after the immersion. This offers a space to share reflections, ask questions and stay in contact with fellow participants as the journey continues to unfold.

An inspiring gift to take home

Each participant receives a meaningful gift as a reminder of the journey, supporting continued connection with what has been recognised and lived during the immersion.

Participation & investment

This immersion is offered through a sliding scale as an expression of trust, responsibility, and collective support. Rather than applying one fixed fee to everyone, the scale invites you to choose the contribution that reflects your current financial capacity.

The immersion itself is the same at every level. Your contribution helps sustain the journey and the space we create together, while the higher levels make it possible to offer supported places to those who need them.

Three contribution levels

Each level offers a different way of contributing to the same immersion.

All contributions include accommodation, food, transport and facilitation throughout the journey. Accommodation is shared, with an ensuite bathroom where available. The Abundant contribution also includes a private room, subject to availability.
