Why in the Desert?• Up to 85% of us will live in cities by 2050, and will have little contact with nature.

• Provides us time to think and reflect.

• A place where mobile phones do not work; no doors, no masks to hide behind, a place to be ourselves, a place where fashion does not matter.

• A place where we are not in control, and sometimes, not top of the food chain.

• Good place for adventures and explorations.
