Mind and Monkey

„ARRIVE WITHIN“ is something for you, if you are in the mood for:

A CHILLED ISLAND VIBE  
Djerba is considered the sunny island of North Africa and is a wonderful destination in June, which invites you to „active idleness“: in the form of relaxing hours near the sea, a walk through the traditional bazaar in the old town of Houmt Souk or while watching a fiery red sunset over the rooftops of the typical white houses of the region. You will encounter the Arabian lifestyle in both its original and modern forms and you can look forward to an exciting experience of the local culture during our organized excursions or your free time.

  YOGA and AYURVEDA
Whether you practice yoga regularly or are simply curious to get to know the yogic philosophy: With Mind and Monkey Yoga, everyBODY will find their place. Our style is described by ourselves as a lovingly shaken „Indo-German cocktail“. We connect the cultures of our two home countries Germany and India and invite you to go on a journey of discovery between both worlds. We follow the Ayurvedic teachings of a largely vegetarian-sattvic diet. Wholesome meals with local and fresh products, which we buy as unprocessed as possible. Look forward to culinary excursions between the worlds and the opportunity to contribute yourself with delicious ideas and keep us company in the kitchen.
Our daily yoga practice frame our days. In the meantime, there will be space for workshops, mantra and sound explorations and time for good and deep talks. 

ARRIVING 
Our recommendation: Reach Djerba Zarzis International Airport by direct flight from various German cities, such Frankfurt and Berlin, in about 3 hours. Please note that the flights are not included in the price. You can make the booking yourself through the internet.

You can reach our retreat space with our taxi transfer pre-arranged for you. After booking your flight, do share your arrival time on the island.

Let’s go! Our OASIS YOGA RETREAT starts on Saturday, June 15th. We will welcome you at the Oasis Kite Villa in Midoune with a delicious dinner and a traditional Indian welcome ritual. Close to the Mediterranean sea, the villa is located in a quieter zone in the backyard and offers a magnificent view over the white houses. A perfect place to relax, away from larger hotels and other tourists. 

PROGRAM
„WHEREVER YOU GO, THERE YOU ARE“. Meet yourself and your fellow human beings on this inward journey between turquoise blue sea and oriental sun. A colorful mix of active yoga sessions, hours in pure silence with yourself and satvic meals together will bring your resilience and full strength back.
