SCHEDULE EXAMPLE:
A typical day at Jaliya Camp might look like this:
Morning Yoga (7:30 - 8:30): Start your day with grounding movement and breath.
Breakfast (8:30 - 9:30): Enjoy a simple and nourishing Senegalese-style breakfast.
Dancing (10:00 - 11:00): Move with joy and energy in expressive West African dance with focus on the traditional dances from Casamance.
Drumming (11:15 - 12:15): Explore the rich world of West African polyrhythms in a vibrant group setting, accompanied by a live drum ensemble. These sessions often include singing and offer a powerful, embodied musical experience.
Free Time (12:15 - 13:30): Rest, journal, swim, practice, or simply take in the surroundings.
Lunch (13:30 - 14:30): Enjoy the rich flavors of traditional Senegalese cuisine.
Afternoon Workshops (17:30-18.30): The kora & singing workshop combines instrument and voice in alternating sessions. Learning the kora supports neural development through its unique patterns, while the singing focuses on vocal technique and traditional kora songs, offering a deep connection to the griot tradition.
Sunset (18.30-19.15) A time to slow down, reflect, and enjoy the view over the Atlantic Ocean.
Dinner (19:30 - 20:30): Share stories and good food in a relaxed setting.
Evenings: Gather around the fire for music and jam sessions, dive into deep conversations, or just relax and gaze at the starlit sky. Whether playing games or hanging out, each evening offers a chance to create lasting memories.
Note: Times are guidelines and may vary based on group preferences, weather, or other factors. We aim to create a flexible schedule that accommodates everyone's needs.
