More about the company

Welcome to the space between worlds — business and art, structure and soul. To be an outlier is not a flaw — it’s a frontier.

Ramla Jay

Founder & CEO

I grew up in the chaos and opportunity of post-revolutionary Czechoslovakia.
My parents built businesses from nothing — in a place where survival came before vision. I wanted to join them so badly, but was told not to take jobs from people who needed them more. So I learned to wait — and that waiting became fire. Later came literature, success, crisis, addiction — and, fortunately, return.

Every path I’ve walked — from business to burnout to the desert — shaped what Ramla Jay is today:
a place where the pragmatic meets the poetic, and where every transformation begins with truth.

Founder & CEO

A being between worlds — business and art, structure and soul. She grew up inside an engineering family company, learning how things are built — literally. Over the years she moved from managing projects and leading teams to guiding people through the invisible architecture of change. Ramla Jay grew out of that bridge: a space where strategy meets depth, and where the work of building expands from houses and companies to human lives.

What people have said about us

Read our clients testimonials. How their lives and pathways have changed throughout the time of working with us.

“In the Sahara, I touched a deep stillness — a grounding, and the joy of simply being in the present moment. My attention was drawn toward new landscapes, new angles of seeing.

I understood that I had set out on a path that will likely never end. At times it may be uncomfortable, even harsh, yet it will always be alive — exciting, shifting, full of change. Above all, it leads me to live more and more as myself. To be truly myself, to feel, to sense, to receive — that is the greatest gift.”

Katerina Zapletalova
Entrepreneur & Philantropist

The Sahara became a threshold in my life. It was there, with Elen’s guidance, that I finally found the courage to face myself fully — to walk into the depths, confront the anger and fear I had carried for too long, and to let them go.

In the desert, stripped of distraction, I met both my own vulnerability and my strength. I discovered that the two are not opposites, but companions. That realization changed me.

What I carry from the Sahara is more than memory — it is a foundation. A clearer heart, a steadier step, and the courage to claim my own manhood. When I later stood at the edge of Canada, beginning a new chapter, it was this desert initiation that held me upright.

Petr Pandy
Software Engineer & Adventurer

I bow in gratitude to the Sahara and to the women who guided me. The desert keeps revealing many paths — and they are not always easy. Yet my soul rises to the surface and grows. It is no longer hidden. Through the desert, my bond with nature, with my family, with those close to me, has been profoundly transformed. But most of all, I feel the change in my relationship with myself.

At times I still stumble. Yet the vow I made to the Sahara always holds me, lifts me, and allows me to walk my path with courage and fierce determination.
