Return to Peace
Step away from the rush and noise of everyday life to find calm in a simpler, more authentic world. Let the stillness and warmth of nature embrace you as you rediscover what truly matters. Take time to breathe in the melodies of birdsong, let your creativity flow freely and uncover deeper meaning in the simplicity of Gambian village life.
About Us
Back to Basics is a retreat in the Gambia, close to the beach in a rural area, set in an eco lodge run by friendly, welcoming people. You wake up to birdsong and the sound of breaking waves, knowing that your day will be warm. Be in the moment and feel into your needs for the day. In one of the poorest countries in the world, you have to lower your standards and use your creative gifts. You might find it surprisingly liberating.
