LETTERS
Also
this time the participants of the second edition of desert therapy wanted
to write a few words of good wishes to our new travellers. A wonderful
tradition that we carry on and that happens naturally. Striking phrases,
rich testimonies of sentiment and affection that enrich those who write
them and also those who receive them.
Dear new friends ,
To be well, go to the desert and concentrate on the sensations and everything
that is around you.
Feel the essence of emotions and magically you will find that the concerns
you came with have gone. Watch the wonder of the stars, listen to the
breath of silence, the shine of things and thoughts that in this context
will seem to be a dream; but the truth is that you're calm, because
you can be yourself, and you realize that even negative things can be
tackled with a smile and heart.
Best wishes to who is celebrating their birthday, the date will certainly
be remembered.
A hug to all
Graziella
Dear friends,
I think that by the time you read these messages ... you won't really
need them.
This trip is giving you everything you desired and hoped for, and also
something more. You live for a few days in an environment that you would
have difficulty to arrive at alone. You are surrounded by the heat during
the day and the colors of sand, rocks, sun and sky; at night you have
the silence, the stars and the moon, like a big cradle. You walk without
much effort (I hope!) and think, remember, speak, I hope you laugh,
get to know yourself, friends and new friends in a lighter way, because
during these days you do not need masks, you are, and that's it. A few
tears of emotion, a sign of peace and an inner reunification. And you
will be so glad to have decided to make this trip, and be grateful to
Carla, Lauren and Max for the practical aspects, for the company and
for discretion. I wont say anything about how you feel afterwards, at
home, the surprise continues.
See
you soon,
Giovanna
Infinity. Friends. Water. Food. Usual terms, worn out from everyday
life. Then comes Carla who helps you discover the deepest value of these
terms. She cleans them, renewing the essence and surrounding it in a
magnificent setting: desert, Lauren and Max, Arabs and camels, cooks
and drivers etc. I truly think that this symphony of emotions has shattered
my everyday life in small pieces and put these emotions in front of
me violently in order to see that a little outside of my garden, there
is a unimaginable reality that is wonderful and exciting to discover.
THANK YOU! Little, immense Carla.
with love

To our new friends, who are about to take the same path, I wish you
the same emotions that are still alive in the memory, I believe, of
all us "veterans".
It's a unique experience from all points of view: the wild places of
unimaginable beauty, peace and silence that lets you get away from everyday
problems and invites you to look inside yourself, which often you are
not able to do in your city life.
They are precious moments that remain inside a long time, perhaps forever.
Carla, Lauren and Max will offer expertise, availability, attention,
friendship and sympathy as you will rarely experience during other travels.

The fatigue of the journey will be largely offset by the unique landscape
and the arrival at camp with the benefit of shade from the tent- restaurant-lounge-
relaxation area which will gratify you more than arriving at a great
hotel. Here you will appreciate the simple and tasty cuisine of a local
chef, the jokes of Max, the delicate tea infusions of Lauren and fascinating
stories Carla.
And also the other members of the group (drivers, cammellieri, cooks,
guides, and camels included) will help to make you appreciate the simplicity
and essentiality of living fully in nature, with their slow, measured
gestures, respect and love of "their" environment.
Have a good Therapy Desert! ... and when you return, tell me if it's
not just too small what I tried to summarize in these lines.
