Jordan
Traveling to Jordan is much like traveling back in history. Sand and stone blowing through the wind and between ancient ruins that have lasted the test of time. A timeless desert with night skies of infinite stars, where I'll guide you through magical yin yoga practices.
In April, the landscape is blooming with wildflowers coating the valleys and even the desert, creating a kaleidoscope of colour across the country. Temperatures are warm but not too hot and, thanks to winter's rain, the valleys and forests are lush.
Join me as I weave Ritual MAGIK into your journey of this mystical land!
Itinerary
Day 1
Welcome to Jordan! Settle in and get ready for an incredible week. We get to know each other with an opening circle and welcome Dinner at a local restaurant.
Overnight in Amman
Day 2
Rise and shine to your first full day in Jordan! Your journey in Jordan begins at the capital, Amman, a contemporary and cosmopolitan city yet a place steeped in tradition and historical beauty.
The day begins at the citadel where you walk through the ruins that sit at the highest hill of the city.
The journey through time continues as you’ll transfer out of the city and to the ancient ruins of Jerash. Jerash was once one of the grandest ancient Roman cities and today possesses some of the most impressive Greco-Roman ruins in the world.
Next up, the Dead Sea. At 1378 feet below sea level, the Dead Sea is the lowest point on Earth and because of the salinity and density of the water, there is no need to swim as your body will naturally float. During our Dead Sea excursion, I'll guide you through a journey of connecting with the water element so that you may fully take in all of the physical, emotional, and spiritual therapies of the sea and mineral-rich mud. Floating in the Dead Sea is an experience like no other and by connecting with the water element, you can allow its healing energies to flow through you even more. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to truly connect with the energy of this
Camping in Amman
Day 3
You will leave the city behind and head on a road trip to one of the most striking deserts in the world, Wadi Rum. At Wadi Rum, you will go on a jeep tour to explore the desert.
Once you arrive at the desert reserve of Wadi Rum, you will hop on a 4x4 and embark on a ½ day Desert Jeep Safari. Wadi Rum is full of weird and wonderful Martian-like rock formations, but with traces of ancient civilizations.
The evening brings luxurious Ritual MAGIK yin yoga under the stars, surrounded by the silence of the desert. The Wadi Rum desert, with its red sandstone mountains and the stunning night sky, is the perfect place to journey inward and explore your yoga practice. Whether you're a seasoned yogi or a complete beginner, evening yin yoga in the Wadi Rum desert is an experience you'll never forget.
Camping in Wadi Rum
Day 4
It is a full day in Wadi Rum desert where your guide will lead you on hike through the reserve.
Your hike will explore the vastness of the desert where you’ll admire bizarre rock formations, and enjoy the eeriness of the desert morning silence. You’ll scale a sand dune for extraordinary views of the valley where you will find that picture-perfect moment of the experience. Wadi Rum Desert Hike Distance: 8 miles / 5 hours / Difficulty: Moderate
After today's long desert hike, Ritual MAGIK yin yoga under the stars is the perfect way to honor the day. Journey with your breath and allow your body to sink into each pose. Listen to the desert night as you connect with your innermost self.
Overnight in Wadi Rum
Day 5
The day begins in the vastness of the landscape and the stillness of the air. As the sun rises, allow yourself to be transported on a journey within through a seated morning meditation.
Today, you will embark on a journey to explore the fabled Lost City of Petra. The great ancient city of Petra, a city carved into the stone cliffs, still remains half-hidden by sand and rocks.
To find this magical site, you will be guided through Al Siq, a mile-long narrow gorge of towering rocks that lead to the magnificent site. Your first glimpse through the path’s walls will be the treasury complex, an enormous and intricate building entrance hand-carved into the rock.
Overnight in Petra
Day 6
Enjoy a free day of self-discovery as you explore Petra on your own. The site is surprisingly big, so it is advised to choose your own route around the complex with the help of your local guide.
You can explore the old Roman road, the rock-hewn amphitheater, or hike up an hour up the steps of the secluded monastery. For those who are feeling a bit more active, there's the challenging but highly rewarding 1-hour walk up the steps to the secluded yet stunning Monastery.
Overnight in Petra
Day 7
Today you will travel on the ‘King’s Highway’ to Madaba. Along the way, you will stop at the crusader castle of Al Kerak and visit Mount Nebo, the site where Moses saw ‘the Promised Land' and also his possible burial site.
You will visit the crusader castle of Al Kerak, a castle that commandingly sits atop a cliff that overlooks Wadi Kerak and the Dead Sea.
Continue to Mount Nebo, the site where Moses saw ‘the Promised Land' and also his possible burial site. In the afternoon you will arrive in the Byzantine and Ottoman influenced city of Madaba.
Tonight we close our sacred circle at a farewell dinner in a local restaurant.
Overnight in Madaba
