After the desert

It 's the question most frequently asked to me: what happens after returning from a trip in the desert? Sometimes it is difficult to explain to those who we have never been in a desert, how it feels when you return. Everybody reacts in different ways: personally for a few days I'm still there, between the dunes and I try to keep as long as possible the feeling that physically and mentally this place can induce. Then inevitably everyday life with all its problems tends to seize every moment of the day and then the thought comes back from the sand and sky, a reminder that life can be lived in a different way, trying to contain our worries and problems, without allowing them to dominate and take over. It is true that one can not ignore these, but we can give them their rightful place within a day. The desert can help carve out a space only for us, where we can take shelter in difficult times and give us the energy and the calm necessary to tackle what lies ahead. This happens to me but also to all the friends who have traveled up to date with Desert Therapy: delivered daily by their testimonies that confirm the benefits that this experience has left in their soul. I will publish soon some of them: so also those who have not yet met the Desert, can realize how the encounter with this amazing place can improve lives.
