The wild doesn’t pamper. It burns, it freezes, it breaks, and then it gives you back what you lost. Twice a year. Together.
The wild doesn’t pamper. It burns, it freezes, it breaks, and then it gives you back what you lost. Twice a year. Together.
You walk away from your roles, your habits, your devices. The desert does not ask what you do for a living, or how many people report to you. It does not flatter. It does not care. It strips you bare.
Exile was always reserved for those whose very existence was inconvenient , the ones too untamed to fit. Not rebels waving flags, but outlaws whose presence alone unsettled.
The day you trade comfort for fire, wind, and vastness.
Dunes that erase every footprint by dawn. A land where nothing remembers you.
Exile isn’t a crowd. Intimacy sharpens; anonymity breaks the mask.
Clarity costs less than confusion. A currency exchange: your illusions for truth.
Exile works because nothing hides here. Silence, strangeness, clarity, strength—each comes when comfort is gone.

The season of Aquarius is the perfect time to step out — free, unfiltered, into the wild.To feel that dome of stars above you, the pulse of life within you, and the pull toward your own truth. Once you’ve touched that connection — with yourself and with nature — you start seeking that wildness everywhere, even in the ordinary days. Because once you’ve known it, there’s simply no way back.
Walking the Sahara is, for me, a journey back to myself. In the silence and simplicity of the desert, what’s been hidden often comes to light — our values, our strengths, our quiet power.This journey is an invitation to meet life as it is: raw, honest, unadorned. And somewhere in that bare encounter, a new sense of peace, acceptance, and direction begins to emerge.
On our desert journeys, I take care of everything that happens on the ground. The camels, the kitchen, the route through the dunes, the safety of the group — that’s my world.I was born into a Bedouin family that has lived with the desert for generations. The knowledge of winds, stars, and hidden wells was passed to me as a child — just as it was to my father and his father before him. And sometimes, around the fire, I share the stories that belong to the Sahara itself.

“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.”
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.
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.
