The CEO Reset

5 days. Sahara. Maximum 6 founders.

By application only

You have not slept properly in months.
Your calendar is full. Your energy is not.

Umnya Desert Camp|Umnya Desert Campis not a wellness retreat. It is not a networking event. There are no keynotes, no pitch decks, no morning routines to optimize.

It is five days in one of the most remote, silent places on earth, with a small group of people who are in exactly the same position as you, and the right people around you to make those five days count.

Arrival

4×4 from Marrakech

The journey into the desert begins in Marrakech. A private 4×4 transfer takes you through the Atlas Mountains, the Drâa Valley and into the silence of Erg Chegaga. The road is part of the programme.

Departure

Private Helicopter Return

You leave differently. A private helicopter lifts from the dunes and returns you to Marrakech in approx. 1h40, across the Atlas summits, over the Drâa basin. The contrast is intentional.

A note from UMNYA

"I have watched too many brilliant people arrive at the camp exhausted, not from the journey, but from years of operating at a frequency the human nervous system was not designed for. The desert does not care about your valuation. It has a way of returning people to themselves."

UMNYA, founder of Umnya Desert Camp

The Programme

We do not publish the full programme.

The structure, the intervenants, the sequence of days, all of this is shared privately with accepted applicants. What we can tell you is that it involves a medical specialist, an executive coach, a sound practitioner and a resident astronomer. And a day with nothing at all.

The full programme dossier is sent by email following your application.

Questions

Who is Umnya Desert Camp|Umnya Desert Campfor?

+
Founders and CEOs experiencing burnout, chronic sleep deprivation, or a growing disconnection between the company they are building and the person they are. Typically Series B to post-IPO. YPO and EO members are a natural fit.

Is this individual or group?

+
A small cohort of up to 6 founders. Specialist sessions are private and individual. Group moments, meals, stargazing, fire evenings, create peer connection without pressure. No presentations. No networking obligations.

Can I be reached during the 5 days?

+
Your phone enters the safe on arrival. Limited Wi-Fi is available for genuine emergencies. Most participants find the things they thought were emergencies are not. A protocol exists for board-level critical matters.

Why is the programme not published?

+
Umnya Desert Campis not a product. It is a confidential retreat. Sharing the full sequence publicly would reduce its integrity. The dossier, intervenants, day structure, what is included, is sent privately upon application review.

How is investment structured?

+
Specifics are discussed during the application call, not before. This is not evasiveness, it is to allow us to understand your situation, logistics and specific requirements before presenting a number.
