The full story​
"Hadra" in Arabic (Øضرة) means "Presence". Etymologically, it refers to the collective trance practiced during ceremonies of Moroccan religious brotherhoods, such as the "Issawas" and "Gnaoua", and is also a significant element in the rituals of the mystical "Sufi orders".
​
Additionally, Hadra signifies being "Present in the moment". The Arabic term literally translates to "Divine Presence", with the human experience of this presence known as "Hudur".
​
The Hadra project aims to provide participants with an experience of collective consciousness and inner presence, aligning with our purpose of returning to our true essence through music.
​
This project is designed for those who wish to leave the external world behind and return to their purest form, detoxifying and cleansing their soul, mind, and spirit.
​
Disconnect to truly reconnect with nature and your surroundings, so you can return to the outside world stronger and more peaceful.

Mission
Hadra is a non-profit project born from Maison Soleil, created with the intention of reconnecting humanity to the essence of presence, community, and healing.
​
Rooted in the sacred landscapes of the Moroccan desert and carried across the world, Hadra is not a festival, it is a soul gathering, a living ritual where music, art, and ceremony become pathways to remembrance.
​
Our mission is to create spaces of deep connection, where modern distractions are left behind, and each participant is guided through a sonic healing journey into the NOW.
Over several transformative days, we attune to higher states of awareness through sound, movement, poetry, and contemplation, fostering mental, physical, and spiritual healing.
​
Hadra is also an act of reciprocity: a bridge between cultures, honoring the wisdom of Morocco, supporting the nomadic communities of Merzouga, and offering opportunities to their children.
​
Every edition of Hadra is an invitation to:
- Awaken from habitual patterns
- Reconnect with nature, tribe, and self
- Co-create in joy and truth
- Remember what it means to live fully present
​
Hadra is our prayer made real, a sanctuary for those who seek depth, beauty, and belonging, and a collective offering to the spirit of humanity.
