PILGRIMAGE OF THE HEART
A five day retreat through the Atlas Mountains with Kate White and Katie Abbott
21st October to 25th October 2025
This is an immersive journey, an opportunity to discover the wonder of the desert with a group of fiends. There will be travel and exploration alongside deep silence and healing rest. We will be supported by each other, held by the spirit of this special land.
Meeting in Marrakesh, we will travel together through the Atlas Foundation to arrive at our destination – Mhamid – a small oasis town in the Zagora Provence.
Here we will have four nights in the desert – under the stars, in the wild peace of this mystical landscape.
We are deeply honoured to be joined by our friend and guide Aissa who will be with us throughout. Visiting the souks, the locals and the places he has known since birth.
This is a rare opportunity to visit Morocco authentically.
This is a rare opportunity to return to the bare earth, to feel the wonder of life and the simplicity of the Heart…and every detail of this experience will reflect this.
Both Kate and Katie share a love of silence and beauty and the evocative fire and mystery of the Beloved. And there is no greater place to bring the unfolding of your own awakening to life.
The Pilgrimage of the Heart is a journey we all must make. If not now, when.
