Nomadic Itinerance
5 to 12 March 2025
This itinerant journey offers us a path through the desert. An unknown road that opens up to us, a path that we take and on which our eyes will marvel. Accept the unknown, live in the moment and discover, plunge into the heart of nature.
Walking gives us the opportunity to adopt a natural rhythm, to contemplate, but also, as we walk, to escape, to get out of our heads and into nature. To walk through space and time is to walk within oneself. The path always brings us back to ourselves, and in this inner state of contemplation and reflection, profound realizations may take place.
Encounters and sharing along the way will be opportunities to connect. Receiving all that is offered to us, creating bonds of friendship, letting ourselves be surprised by the looks in people's eyes, rediscovering the joy of the child who is amused by everything and nothing. To feel nomadic is to feel at home everywhere. And that's an extraordinary experience.
For whom is this walking adventure in the heart of the desert and for yourself?
Welcome to the spellbinding world of desert walking, an adventure designed for intrepid spirits and souls in search of discovery. The ideal participants are people who enthusiastically embrace the unknown, ready to abandon the comforts of modern life to explore the virgin lands and expanses of the desert, but also to explore themselves and discover new spaces within themselves. It's good to have an adventurous spirit and a tolerance for change, because desert walking is an encounter with nature in its rawest form. If you don't have them, you'll develop them with us!
A love of silence, because the desert offers infinite tranquillity, interrupted only by the whisper of the wind and the song of the birds. Have a deep respect for the environment, because every step we take in the sand forms our footprint on this ancient and fragile land. No waste will be left in nature and no damage will be done to the environment.
