Journey To The Heart : Sahara Desert Retreat 2022

May 1, 2022

“When a person really desires something, all the universe conspires to help that person to realize his dream.” -The Alchemist, Paul Coelho

Dear Guest,

Leo Cosendai is taking a handful of “explorers” on a journey inspired by Paul Coelho’s The Alchemist, to discover the wild Sahara desert in November 2022.

We are cordially inviting you to explore the stillness in the sand, the dance of the wind, the magic of omens, the buried dreams & treasures, the potency of leaving the past behind and moving forward, and the sound of silence and the unparalleled beauty of the land.

You will experience the transformative power of sound, kundalini yoga, breathwork and chanting at the best time of the year: you will uncover a desert that has inspired many to open their heart, tune into their intuition, and make the changes their life has been asking for.

BELOW YOU WILL FIND AN OUTLINE OF YOUR STORY IN THE SAHARA DESERT:
IT STARTS IN MARRAKECH AND ENDS SOMEWHERE ON YOUR LONG FORGOTTEN TREASURE MAP…

“The secret is here in the present. If you pay attention to the present, you can improve upon it. And, if you improve on the present, what comes later will also be better.” -The Alchemist, Paul Coelho

“Learn to recognize omens, and follow them” -The Alchemist, Paul Coelho

“Don’t think about what you’ve left behind” The alchemist said to the boy as they began to ride across the sands of the desert. “If what one finds is made of pure matter, it will never spoil. And one can always come back. If what you had found was only a moment of light, like the explosion of a star, you would find nothing on your return.” -The Alchemist, Paul Coelho

I have watched the caravan as it crossed the desert,” he said. “The caravan and the desert speak the same language, and it’s for that reason that the desert allows the crossing. It’s going to test the caravan’s every step to see if it’s in time, and, if it is, we will make it to the oasis. -The Alchemist, Paul Coelho

“Why do we have to listen to our hearts?” the boy asked.
“Because, wherever your heart is, that is where you will find your treasure.” -The Alchemist, Paul Coelho

“Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own.” -The Alchemist, Paul Coelho

“The secret of happiness is to see all the marvels of the world, and never to forget the drops of oil on the spoon.” -The Alchemist, Paul Coelho

“Everyone on earth has a treasure that awaits him.” -The Alchemist, Paul Coelho

“Never stop dreaming.” -The Alchemist, Paul Coelho

“Why don’t people’s hearts tell them to continue following their dreams?” the boy asked the alchemist.

“Because that’s what makes a heart suffer most, and hearts don’t like to suffer.”

From then on, the boy understood his heart. He asked it, please, never to stop speaking to him. He asked that, when he wandered far from his dreams, his heart press him and sound the alarm. The boy swore that, every time he heard the alarm, he would heed its message.” -The Alchemist, Paul Coelho

“I’m an adventurer, looking for treasure” -The Alchemist, Paul Coelho

“Show me where there is life out in the desert. Only those who can see such signs of life are able to find treasure.” -The Alchemist, Paul Coelho

“Death is not the greatest loss in life; the greatest loss is what dies inside while you’re still alive.” -The Alchemist, Paul Coelho

“To realize one’s destiny is a person’s only obligation.” -The Alchemist, Paul Coelho
