SUMMARY:MEN’S RETREAT IN THE DESERT
DESCRIPTION:April 19 – april 26, 2026\n\nBedouin Camp Mousa, Saint Catherine, Egypt\nby Ton van der Kroon and Eran Markose\n\nWe invite you to this powerful men’s week in the desert, hosted by the bedouins in camp Mousa, at the foot of one of the most mythological mountains in the world: mount Sinai. Learn from the wisdom of the desert, join the circle of men from different cultures, nationalities and religions, and discover your own sacred warrior, your inner leader, hero or healer. And most important: Learn how to follow your soul.\n.\nPROGRAM\nWe’ll work with the format of Open Space, in which we’ll create the program together on the spot. Dance, music, meditation, encounter and exploration helps us to walk the inner labyrinth. In the heart of it we feel the power of our soul, the silence of the universe pulsing through our own being.\n.\nDATESOpening Circle April 19th, 20:00 after dinner in Dahab, hotel Bedouin Moon. The closing ceremony is April 26th, 11:00 after lunch in Camp Mousa.\n.\n\nOUR TEAM\nTon is a long time pioneer of men’s work and has been giving men’s workhops in the Netherlands, Belgium, Russia, Israel and Gaza. He wrote the bestseller ‘The Return of the King, being a man in the 21st century.’ Eran is a healer from Jerusalem and an ex- soldier of the Israeli army.  They came together in 2021 in the Sinai, in a wish to bring men from three cultures/religions together: Israeli/Jewish, Arab/Muslim and Western/Christian. But of course men from all background are welcome.\n.\n\nCOSTSThe costs of this retreat are  € 1450. This price includes 3 meals & accommodation in a shared double room with a private bathroom in the Bedouin camp. It also includes one excursion and the night on Mt Sinai.

We will move the next day from the sea to Saint Catherine in the desert. The Bedouin camp where we will stay is led by Mohammed Mousa. The camp has simple yet comfortable two person rooms.

The schedule is based on meeting twice a day in a circle (morning and evening) and we create the rest of the daily program together depending on what’s alive in each moment .\nThe Open Space principles are:\n\nThe people who are there, are the right people\nWhatever happens, is the right thing to happen\nWhen it begins, it begins\nWhen it is over, it is over\nFollow the Law of Two Feet\nExpect the unexpected\n\n.\nINSPIRATION\nRead ‘The Return of the king, a book about men.’\n.\nAGREEMENTSAll participants are present from beginning till end. You can only participate for the whole event. The conference starts with dinner and the opening ceremony on the first night, and ends on the last morning with a closing ceremony.\n\nNo drugs of any sort are permitted, and we like you to limit alcohol, coffee and meat.\nYour participation is at your own responsibility. Of course we will do anything possible to make your stay as safe and comfortable as possible, but we can’t take any responsability for your safety, nor for your emotional, physical or financial well being.\nMake sure you have a valid passport and travel insurance.\nWe are guests in another country, another culture and maybe for some of us another religion. Please respect the local customs, rules, dresscode and formalities.\nNote that the main language spoken on the conference will be in English.\nWe will be using Open Space, a way to give space to that what wants to reveal itself and to connect to that what resonates inside of you. Open Space gives the possibility to expect the unexpected, out of your own inspiration, out of the group, out of the moment. It is a sometimes discomforting method but one that can reveal magic beyond our imagination – or so we discovered.\nThe main intention of our work is personal healing and growth. So the fuller you personally engage in the process, the more it might bring to you. We encourage your preparation and devotion to this work by tuning in the months and weeks before, by asking a few questions to yourself: what is my intention? What do I want to achieve? What is my pitfall or my shadow? How can I prepare myself?\nAs for the context and content of this week, personal healing, no children –nor animals –are allowed.\nTo be clear about expectations; In our work we like to unite people of all ages, all faiths, all backgrounds. We do not believe in a dark government, illuminati or any conspiracy theories. We like to focus on the heart, not the mind.\n\n\nPLEASE READ OUR GENERAL CONDITIONS attentively before booking.\n \n\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n
