More About Celebrate Life

Celebrate Life is an international lifestyle gathering that takes place for the first time in Jordan and continues every year in September.

In these days of increased global unrest reflected in so many ways both in nature and socially, it is time for us all to reconnect to our true roots, turn away from the modern hustle  reembrace  nature and our soul. What better place to do this than in the magnificent Wadi Rum, a truly  timeless, quite magical area. Here you can re-connect with those  latent energies stirring your soul and mind respecting the spectacular nature around us which for so many of us  has become lost , forgotten or unbalanced.

Our gathering to “Celebrate Life” is a chance for us all to  renew our latent energies, giving back respect and  refinding  awareness for everything around us.The unparalleled setting and energies of Wadi Rum together with world renown teachers and healers are a superb opportunity to do so.

As a group we can  unite our energies to create and  spread  further awareness to all our communities to show how  to live in harmony with nature and Mother Earth and her children, the animal, plants, minerals and each other.

At your base of Bait Ali ( www.baitali.com) drinking water will be provided . For those without a water bottle or container of sorts; ”first” bottles  may be bought but we request that this container or others are reused where possible , together with any  other implements such as dishes ,bowls ,cutlery ( bring your own) thereby reducing  ( plastic) our footprint on the world around us . We at Bait Ali regularly pick up refuse from the surrounding areas and encourage the  local community to do the same.  Our energy at Bait Ali is all from solar energy , we also have a small  established permaculture  farm  that provides organic vegetables, fruits in season, together with organic “Berhi”dates from  the many  palms. Healthy food being one way in which to respect life more fully . In turn Bait Ali has over the years tried to embrace this philosophy not only by reducing waste as much as possible , recycling both water resources and waste products where possible .The architecture, layout was such that the “camp” would be the least intrusive to the area with colors , shapes and materials used reflecting not only local tradition but that of the sand, rocks and mountain shapes around it. This together with plenty of greenery , the many date palms give the outward impression of a desert oasis and a warm atmosphere.

So join us at this first annual Celebrate Life Gathering  and learn about ”family networking” (and how this can help release blocking behavior patterns, inherited from generation to generation). How to pamper your soul and how this in turn helps us to undertake ourselves as we were truly created. How mantras can help with overcoming hard times and give energy to you. Healthy eating and not only how it affects us but how in turn makes us respect and appreciate life in all its diversity.  Dancing and its expression through” Capoeira” is yet another way to learn to live with joy this  ‘soul dance’ can  teach us to understand our bodies message. Massage and crystal therapy are yet more ways to help our bodies relax and help reduce  pain in all its forms, helping us to  tune in to our  energy fields that are so often lost in the “noise’ and stress of today's societies .  Lastly the wonder of art in our quest to find our way in life, you will see on display a number of works by the well known Czech artist.

Samples of her powerful work can be seen( and purchased) hanging in the reception area. Her work is inspired spiritually - perhaps in layman's terms,  her work aims to focus positive, strong  energies  which reflect in kind on their surroundings– much like crystals are known to do  - many of her works have been commissioned for and are found in hospices and children's hospitals and of course  within the homes of people who not only wish  to appreciate their ongoing  beauty  but to benefit from  the very special energies that they attract and impart to everything around them

Finally we take a jeep tour to see the spectacular nature designed rock art formations, then we carry on for a quiet walk in the desert, a  pilgrimage  to our inner self to hear our souls message in the silence of this timeless powerful  landscape ,by tuning into the nature in guided meditation we create together a loving energy that embraces everyone.

 Let us all  truly appreciate and Celebrate Life that we can each in our own way and  help others do the same!
