Back to you
A transformational retreat: Breathwork, Movement, Music and Connection in the desert.
A retreat to
come back to you
BACK TO YOU is a Breathwork and Active Meditation experience in the desert.
A journey to step out of your head, return to your body and allow yourself to feel more honestly what is alive in you.
Over six nights, the silence of the dunes, the breath, the movement, the music and the energy of the group will create a space to shed layers, reconnect with your essence and remember a truer way of being with yourself.
We do not come to the desert to escape life.
We come to hear it with less noise.
The experience
Imagine five full days in which time opens up. The desert is not only a landscape: it is a space that holds you while you breathe, move and listen to yourself again.
Active Meditation
We begin the day on the dunes. With headphones, music created by Emmanuel for each session, movement and connection.
Each morning works with the theme of the day we are living, so no session is like the one before.
Morning or evening
Depending on the energy of the group and the techniques we explore, the Breathwork sessions will take place in the morning or at sunset. Every day we explore a different technique.
Opening what has been held inside and letting it move without judgement.
Lowering the activation of the nervous system and feeling the body as home again.
Dynamic breathing to switch the body on and gain clarity.
Mobility and Animal Flow
Waking up the body and reconnecting with natural movement.
Personal development work
Spaces for reflection where what emerges is integrated together.
Meditations at sunrise and under the stars
Stillness at both ends of the day, when the desert speaks in silence.
Dancing around the fire
A night of Berber music to let go and celebrate as a group.
Daily integration rituals
Small closings that help leave the old behind and receive the new.
A day of Silence
A full day to walk, breathe and let everything settle.
Holotropic · 2h under the stars
A special night session, guided by Emmanuel's music. The deepest practice of the retreat.
A spacious rhythm,
not a packed one
This is not a retreat filled with activities from morning to night. The desert needs space.
So although each day will have two main practices, Active Meditation in the morning and Breathwork in the morning or at sunset, there will also be plenty of time for silence, rest and integration.
We do not want to fill every hour. We want to leave space for the body to process, to walk, breathe, look at the dunes, sleep, write or simply be.
Sometimes the most transformative thing does not happen during a practice.
It happens afterwards, when you do nothing and something inside begins to settle.

Hello, we are
Melissa and Emmanuel
We are Breathwork and Active Meditation facilitators, and we have been working together for several years, guiding groups of people in these practices every week.
In that time we have seen how breath, movement, music and connection can open very deep spaces of transformation.
We have also travelled to the desert several times, and for us it has been a deeply transformative place. A space where the noise drops, the body speaks more clearly and something inside starts to order itself differently.
That is why this experience exists: because we want to bring what we share every week to one of the most silent and immense places in the world.
Two halves face to face, mirroring each other.
Said out loud, EMME carries the sound of aime, the French word for love.
That is what this work is: two people, face to face, building a space where you can meet yourself.
Melissa Sapmaz
Life coach, physical trainer and master in Frequency Medicine. Her work brings together body, mind, energy and personal development to accompany processes of transformation from a deep, practical and human place.

BACK TO YOU is an invitation to return to the body, turn down the noise and remember a truer way of being with yourself.
Not to become someone else.
But to come back to you.
