Tuning into and deepening your relationship to the Wisdom of the Elements for personal guidance and healing. Working with the elements in nature is a great way to help us listen to the authentic knowledge from within and to engage in a practice of self-revelation.

We will be creating sacred space to release limiting beliefs and emotional blocks, remember our true purpose and dreams and recharge ourselves with light, inspiration, joy and courage to continue manifestation of our wishes. Through sacred ceremony we will connect actively to our self and our beautiful planet.

We will take you for an unforgettable exploration into the desert of Jordan in search of raw beauty, stillness and intuitive wisdom whilst visiting 3 world Heritage sites Wadi Rum, Petra and the Dead Sea

A unique journey that will shift your experience of life and encourage you to manifest your dreams. Lovingly guided and supported by Sjoukje and Sandra. Between them, they have decades of experience in holding groups of transformation, healing and letting go of that which is no longer serving our higher good.

FOOD

Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner are included

A group of 5 of us had an absolutely unique experience on our 3-day retreat in Wadi Rum organized and hosted by Sandra. Her energy and zest for life are contagious. The absolute highlight was our makeshift overnight camp in the desert, enjoying drinks and a delicious meal around the campfire followed by a night under the stars. The retreat offered an enjoyable introduction to yoga and more ‘new age-y’ stuff like chanting and constellations. To enjoy, keep an open mind, but few experiences match spending time with yourself and others in this magical place.

About The Host

Sandra is an artist, social entrepreneur, certified yoga teacher, and systemic coach with horses. She started exploring yoga in 2001 in Amsterdam. In 2009 - following her inner wish of living her passions for the arts and horses- she packed her brushes and yoga mat, put on her horse boots, and came for a sabbatical to Petra, Jordan. When her horse got pregnant she decided to stay and let the horses lead her way. It was the beginning of her adventure of discovering and expressing herself in the most authentic way.

Sandra works with her herd of Arab horses in Wadi Rum. Horses invite us to become fully present in the now, to face and accept our past, to show us where the life energy wants to take us, to let go of limiting beliefs, and to encourage us to stand in our truths. They take us on a loving soul journey for us to become whole. In this work, Sandra combines constellation work, visualization, bodywork, horse connection, and systemic coaching to guide you on your journey.

Sandra is a certified PSCYH-K facilitator, a certified equine assisted systemic coach (Netherlands), a Reiki master, a Peter Hess Sound Massage practitioner, and 200 HR certified yoga teacher Vinyasa Flow and Yoga Nidra (India). Next to that, she has followed three trainings on Shamanic Healing with Sandra Ingerman (Shift Network).

Her work has been featured in National Geographic, Lonely Planet, UK Independent, Vogue Arabia, Mojeh, and Fodor’s magazine.
