Beauty   lies   in   the   eyes 
of   the   beholder.

Love      Opens      You
September   9th  —  13th

This retreat is a deep call to dive into the quintessence that is within you and your unique beauty.

A sacred space for self-love to enter as you come into harmony with your frequency.

This is your time to slow down and let yourself simply be. Observe life through widened doors of perception. Drink in the mystery through the pores of your being.

A lot of mint tea too.

We have put together a 5-day itinerary that interweaves Kundalini Yoga with an artistic residency—an experience designed to usher in positive personal transformation.

“The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or touched, they are felt with the heart." 

- Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

We will be coming together to support each other in a field of energy that is incredibly regenerative. 

For five days, will be will be living nestled in the hollow of the arid lands of the dunes of Agafay, in a breath-taking desert oasis. An environment of peace, serenity and magic.

Imagine beautiful simplicity and earthly wholeness, over the moon-like landscapes, sun beds, creative freedom, feeling warmth, dipping into the swimming pool and seeing lushness all around.

ACCOMMODATION

La Pause is a captivating immersion, concealed within the heart of nature's playground, cradled amidst the rocky dunes.

Our bivouac's tents extend an invitation to truly break free and reconnect with the natural world in an unspoiled environment, delivering an authentic, private, and stylish glamping experience.

An expansiveness that will transport your mind worlds away.

Each tent is thoughtfully equipped with its own bathroom and an outdoor Berber lounge, ensuring your comfort and privacy as you immerse yourself in a world of serenity.

This retreat will weave together Kundalini Yoga classes guided by Akal Anand and artistic workshops led by Anna-Alexandra.

We’ve focused on creating an open schedule that invites simplicity, creativity, wildness, freedom and flow.

TO SEE YOU.

YOUR OWN RAW BEAUTY.
THE WHOLE YOU.

SAMPLE ITINERARY

BY AKAL ANAND

Akal Anand is a cosmic alchemist, a palm tree offering sweetness in an oasis, walking barefoot on desert earth. Her service to this world is rooted in truth and bliss, honoring the awakening into our deathless nature through human form. With Kundalini Yoga and Breathwork as her mediums, she shares from personal experience—simple yet profound. Her teaching is infused with presence, fun, and care, elevating heart-to-heart connection. 

ARTIST IN RESIDENCY

Anna-Alexandra

Painting by communicating with the body in search of Human Nature.

Art has always perceived mythology as part of its aesthetic language. The inexhaustible reserve of themes, metaphors and symbols found in myths have lived in artists and poets across time with an endless source of inspiration, as well as with the challenge to not simply illustrate myths, but also to recreate them in an original light and through an individual language – responding to notions of man and the world.

Anna-Alexandra (1990) is part of this living tradition in contemporary art. She is a visual artist, poet, model, and muse, inspired by mythology, philosophy, and anthropology, which form the basis of her artistic explorations and performances. Her interest in cultures is rooted in her academic background in ancient languages and cultures, as well as in her understanding of the essence of life and of her own identity as a continuous act of creation.

An author and participant in multiple artistic projects related to poetry, fine art, visual performance and movies, Anna-Alexandra envelops her identity and art with the timeless and mysterious aura of the philosophical and aesthetic female origin.

Anna Alexandra’s work is cinematographic and dynamic, exploring the intersection between dreams and reality, thought and emotion, revelation and enigma. Her projects, paintings, masks, and photo sessions form a transitional space, a series of compositions that unfold from within one another. Fragmentary at a first sight, her work is consolidated on the one hand by texts – through poetry and citations that guide our attention to the intellectual and philosophical conceptions that inspire her – and on the other hand, by the palpable presence of the artist who never stirs away from the female origin and the pursuit of beauty, harmony, and coherence. Through her sizeable canvas paintings, she converts her body into part of her artistic apparatus. Through the interaction between body, material, colours and context, Anna-Alexandra re-interprets the ancient conceptions beauty, the magic of female nature and the connection with earth and eternity.

  • “I can’t even begin to explain how incredible this experience was. No phone, no electricity—just pure presence. My heart expanded in awe and gratitude, serving as a profound reminder of the vast depths and limitless potential of women. Our essence embodies beauty, resilience, and creativity, resonating with divine energy.

    Each moment revealed the multifaceted roles women play—mothers, daughters, sisters, partners, healers, and creators—illuminating the precious gift we are to humanity. It was a beautiful week of healing, connection, and reclamation of femininity and sensuality. I’ve left this retreat with a deepened reverence for the intricate tapestry of womanhood and our interconnectedness.

    Thank you BOY for guiding us and creating this container. And thank you to all the beautiful women I was lucky enough to share this experience with.”

  • “What a gentle and feminine experience it was for me in the desert of Morocco. This carefully chosen location felt like coming home after a long journey, allowing me to tune into nature and flow with life. Akal Anand and Sophie created a sanctuary where I could truly be myself, embracing my feminine power and opening up to the beauty of the women around me. I am eagerly looking forward to being part of the next retreat!"

    — Claudia

  • “It took me almost a month to process what happened in the Agafay desert—no electricity, no internet, just surrounded by the beauty of Mother Earth. The days I spent with BOY were full of inner work, awakenings, realizations, peace, spirituality, and genuine connections between women from all over the world. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to experience such magical moments. And thank you Akal Anand and Sophie for making everything even more special!”

    — Federica

  • “Spending a week in the mystical Agafay Desert with BOY was a profound journey of self-discovery. No electricity, no connection to the outside world—just the raw beauty of nature. With the backdrop of Morocco’s final days of Ramadan and an approaching eclipse, I found solace in the simplicity of desert life and the wisdom it imparts. Under the starlit sky, I uncovered the true essence of spirituality—not bound by walls or scriptures, but rooted in the rhythms of the earth and our souls. These days in the desert were transformative, a journey of awakening and empowerment. Thank you, Morocco, La Pause, and my special little fairies Akal Anand and Sophie Sou—you ladies are pure magic.”

  • In early September, the weather in the Agafay Desert in Morocco is warm and sunny, with daytime temperatures ranging from 30 to 40°C (86 to 104°F). But don’t worry, there’s plenty of shade and pool areas to keep you comfortable during the heat. Nights are much cooler, with temperatures dropping to around 20°C (68°F), making it a pleasant time to relax under the stars.

    For your wardrobe, lightweight and breathable fabrics like cotton or linen are perfect to stay cool during the day. Be sure to pack a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun. Even though it cools down at night, it’s a good idea to bring along a light jacket or sweater for the evening chill.

  • No electricity. No air conditioning.
