Desert Soul Awakening: Yoga, Horse Alchemy & Breathwork Retreat in Wadi Rum

The Soul Spark Transformation Retreat is a multidimensional journey designed to attune you to your truth, the mystery of the desert, and a deeper sense of who you truly are. The retreat is rooted in the Soul Spark living field, a philosophy that draws from yoga, shamanic practices, systemic constellation work, and equine-assisted coaching. It is a holistic approach that honors the mind-body-spirit connection and facilitates deep personal transformation in a safe and supportive environment.

Each day is an invitation to embody the elements—earth, fire, water, air—through a variety of practices. Mornings begin with Vinyasa flow yoga sessions that connect movement to breath, creating balance, peace, and energy. Afternoons may include meditative omen walks through the desert, where you’ll ground yourself in the vastness of the landscape. Evenings bring rituals such as shamanic sound journeys, drum circles, and a transformative fire ceremony where limiting beliefs are released and intentions are sent to the universe.

The highlight of the retreat is the Horse Alchemy session, a systemic coaching experience with Sandra’s herd of Arab horses. The horses intuitively mirror your state of being, offering powerful insights into your patterns, attachments, and authentic self. Through constellation work in the paddock, you’ll clarify the patterns in your life, release what no longer serves you, and step forward with courage and renewed energy. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to connect with these majestic animals and experience their healing presence.

Sandra Jelly is an artist, social entrepreneur, certified yoga and breathwork teacher, shamanic practitioner, and systemic coach with horses. Her journey began in Amsterdam, but her passion for horses and the arts led her to Jordan in 2009. She has been guiding guests ever since, blending her diverse training in Vinyasa Flow, Yoga Nidra, breathwork, shamanic healing, and equine-assisted systemic coaching. Her work has been featured in National Geographic, Lonely Planet, and Vogue Arabia, among others. With her gentle guidance, you’ll feel supported to explore new depths of awareness and transformation.
