A Primal Awakening Retreat

Mehdi & Adriana Zoutal ⏐

24 - 31 August 2025

Created for those ready to awaken to their inner power, this experience goes far beyond the traditional retreat format. It will transform how you see yourself, your capabilities, and your place in this world.

Over six immersive days, you’ll move, laugh, hike, sweat, connect, and remember who you truly are — guided by movement, nature, and conversations.

To ensure the highest quality experience for each participant, we limit attendance to 12 people.

During this 6-day immersive adventure, you'll:

  • Learn to read the silent stories of the wild

  • Sharpen your intuition and confidence

  • Shed old harmful patterns

  • Learn to face your fears safely and deal with them

  • Feel your body and soul fully nourished

  • Awaken your most primal and authentic self

  • Connect deeply with total strangers

  • Have more fun than you thought possible

Through daily movement practice, time in nature, quality of interactions, and experiences, you'll rediscover your primal essence. This journey goes beyond traditional retreats — it's a complete reset of how you view yourself and your place in the natural world. You'll leave with practical tools, renewed energy, and a clear roadmap for maintaining your primal power long after the retreat ends.

Can you accommodate my dietary restrictions?

Our food is primarily high-quality, animal-based and forms a pillar of our philosophy. All participants are encouraged to embrace this path for the week and possibly break their habitual eating patterns.

Of course, let us know about your allergies beforehand so we can adapt if needed.

What’s the cancellation policy?
