This Christmas, we invite you to join us for an intimate and relaxed gathering in the desert — a space to slow down, reflect, and celebrate the season in a conscious, heart-led way.

We’ll come together in the open desert for guided meditation with Sundar and Elena, followed by a gentle sharing circle. As the evening unfolds, we’ll gather around the bonfire for Christmas carols led by Sulochana and Mark from Shanti Sounds, enjoying music, warmth, and community.

A casual potluck dinner will be part of the evening, where everyone is welcome to bring a dish to share. For those who feel called to stay longer, overnight camping is optional — a beautiful way to experience the stillness of the desert night and wake up surrounded by nature.

This gathering is about simplicity, presence, and togetherness — meeting each other as we are, under the vast desert sky, and celebrating Christmas in a grounded and meaningful way.

The location is Al Khatim Desert, accessible by sedan. Guests are encouraged to arrive together or carpool where possible.
