The practice

While the specific tradition is not stated, Desedua emphasizes 'gentle practices' and 'soul work' aimed at self-reconnection and healing. Participants can expect activities designed to foster introspection, emotional release, and a deeper understanding of their inner selves, all within a supportive and non-judgmental environment.

Meals featuring Moroccan cuisine would be a highlight, providing nourishment and a taste of local culture.

Accommodation

The retreats are designed as an 11-day journey, with accommodation provided across 5 different locations, suggesting a dynamic and varied experience rather than a single fixed venue. Details on the specific types of lodging are not provided.
