New Gaze - New World

"New Gaze" training center

The caravan of ten 4x4s arrived at the meeting point around 4 pm. A light snack of tea and dates awaited the travellers. After Pierre Duchemin had shared his vision and described the role that each person would play if they so wished.Saïda Ayari took the floor."Perhaps you are looking for the walls of your training centre, or perhaps you are waiting for someone to show you your rooms so that you can drop off your luggage."Saida turned to the right and continued, "On this side you have the biggest training centre you could imagine."She turned to the left, "And on this side, you will have the freedom to choose the location and size of your room, in each room you will find the highest ceiling imaginable.Saida continued, "And unlike any training centre you have ever known, this one moves to a different location every day.In their wildest projections, none of the trainees had imagined this, most of them having never even slept under the stars.Rumours were starting to spread, Saida knew that here and there the disapproval was rising, no trainee had ever volunteered to spend 3 weeks in the middle of the desert without even the minimum of privacy or hygiene.Saida resumed "Don't worry, we will answer all your questions, doubts or worries in a moment.But before that, I would like to introduce you to the people you can rely on during your stay. They will be your teachers, your confidants and your guides.Saida invited a man in his forties to come forward and gave him the microphone.The man was about six feet tall, his face was tinted by the sun, and his khaki trousers and large hat looked like Indiana Jones."I am Liam Dardel, I am of Quebec origin, as a doctor, I will take care of your little injuries, don't worry, we have already accompanied many promotions in the desert and we are experienced in everything that could happen. We take a very complete pharmacy with us and we are able to provide first aid. I am also equipped with a satellite phone and we are able to contact help at any time if needed.I will also be one of your teachers.Liam passed the microphone to an older woman. Much shorter and stockier than Liam, she wore loose sand-coloured clothing, her hair white and her glasses gold-rimmed."I'm Sophie Clément, I'm from Paris and a personal development coach. A year ago I was in your shoes, I still remember my fears, not to say my terror at the idea of spending several weeks in such basic conditions. In the end, the experience was a true discovery of myself. Since then, I divide my life between my Parisian practice and teaching at the "New Look" training centre. You are my fifth class and it is with great impatience that I am waiting to discover you. I will be at your service at any time.Sophie took a step back and let a tall man come forward, he was dressed in a loose dark tunic in the style of the nomads, his head was covered with a Chech, but his soft face was burnt by the desert sun. He spoke with a slight local accent."I am Aziz Bayram, during your stay I will be your guide, my family is nomadic from generation to generation and already as a child I travelled this desert.I will lead this caravan of forty dromedaries and ten camel drivers. It is we who will set up camp each morning and install it each evening, it is also we who will prepare your meals, and it is also we who will look after your well-being and pass on to you the knowledge that we hope will make you love this desert which is our home.Aziz bowed, his hand on his heart.Already the assembly seemed less tense. The presence of this experienced team of more than fifteen people reassured them.Louis Willems was even excited about this adventure that was being offered to him. He felt confident.The sun was declining and would soon be setting.
