About this Retreat
I’m Jennifer Deiana, is the director of Solar Alegria, yoga teacher, life coach, and holistic practitioner with over 20 years of experience in business and product strategy. After spending years in the corporate world, including roles at LVMH, Collison, Charlotte Tilbury, and the Football Association, I realized that my true calling was in helping others achieve balance, happiness, and personal growth. This led me to transition into the world of yoga, meditation, Ayurveda, massages and personal development coaching.
In 2020, I created Solar Alegria, a retreat and holiday center nestled in the heart of Portugal. My vision for Solar Alegria was to provide a sanctuary where people could escape the stress of everyday life and reconnect with themselves. The center is a peaceful space where creativity, yoga, mindfulness, and nature come together to foster transformation. I focus on creating an environment centered around self development, with the goal of helping each individual awaken their full potential.
My work is all about embracing who we truly are, and at Solar Alegria, I create the space for people to explore Portuguese culture, their authentic selves and grow in harmony with the world around them.
Fátima Teixeira is a passionate sound healer, composer, pianist and conscious music producer dedicated to harnessing the transformative power of sound.
With over 20 years of experience in the music industry, she creates immersive sound experiences that promote healing, relaxation, and spiritual growth.
Through her unique approach, she guides individuals on a journey of self-discovery and well-being, empowering them to raise their vibration and connect deeply with their inner selves.
Her mission is to spread love, healing, and inspiration through the art of sound.
Details of this retreat
Sometimes, to truly connect with ourselves, we must first disconnect from the chaos of everyday life. Imagine stepping into a vast landscape where time slows down, the only sounds are the whispers of the wind, and the only light is the warmth of the sun. Welcome to The Desert Wisdom Awakening Retreat—an invitation to rediscover peace, stillness, and the ancient wisdom of the Sahara.
This is more than just a retreat; it’s a journey back to the essence of who you are. Set in the stunning vastness of Morocco’s Sahara Desert, our retreat offers an unforgettable experience that will awaken your spirit, refresh your mind, and transform your soul.
Inspired by the desert’s raw power and renewal, this retreat invites you to release what no longer serves and rise into a new version of yourself.
