It all began in Palm Springs, California, as Sahra Sound Healing in 2022…..
Over time, it expanded into Sahra Healings, bringing together sound healing, meditation, mindful travel, and more, all woven into one lifestyle. The name "Sahra" itself comes from the Arabic word for "desert," reflecting a connection to the Arab tradition and embracing the desert’s powerful, serene energy. Palm Springs and Joshua Tree, both part of the Mojave Desert, became the perfect places for this vision to unfold.
The Mojave Desert, with its vast and awe-inspiring landscapes, has long been regarded as sacred by Native American tribes. The desert’s raw beauty and profound stillness have made it a spiritual destination for those seeking clarity and peace. Joshua Tree, in particular, is known for its deep spiritual significance, drawing visitors from all over the world who are looking for a place to connect with themselves and nature. It felt right to establish Sahra Healings in these places, where the energy of the land mirrors the inner journey of healing and mindfulness.
Through Sahra Healings, we blend the desert's spiritual essence with practices that encourage balance and a deeper connection to the world. It’s more than just an offering; it’s a lifestyle rooted in the peaceful rhythms of the desert.
As time went on, Sahra Healings evolved and expanded beyond Joshua Tree and Palm Springs. It grew into an online platform, reaching people from all around the world. Through online meditation classes, virtual sound baths, mindful travel guidance, and more, it’s been able to offer support for a balanced, mindful lifestyle – regardless of location. The peaceful energy of the desert is now accessible to all, allowing anyone, anywhere to experience healing and find inner balance on their own terms.
I’m Karim, the founder of Sahra Healings, born in Palestine. My journey into meditation and mindfulness started after a trip to Nepal in 2017 that completely changed my perspective. Back then, I found myself stuck in a routine of travel and partying, without any deeper meaning. But all of that shifted when I experienced a Himalayan sound bath. It was one of those moments that opened my eyes to holistic practices in a way I hadn’t experienced before.
I’ve always had a deep love for travel; it’s more than just a hobby, it’s a part of who I am. That passion has guided many chapters of my life. Manifesting that curiosity and openness allowed me to earn a scholarship to study abroad, to explore the world in ways I had only dreamed of as a child. It eventually led me to become a flight attendant for one of the most prestigious airlines, and along the way, I fulfilled another dream by becoming a U.S. citizen. Travel has always been my bridge to growth, connection, and self-discovery.
Over the years, I’ve lived in places like Scotland, Turkey, the UAE, Texas, Iowa, California, Vietnam & Thailand. Every place brought something new to my life, and at some point, I started thinking of the world as my home. That’s when I embraced a nomadic lifestyle, moving at my own pace, practicing slow travel, and seeing myself as a “citizen of the world,” with a special connection between Southeast Asia and Southern California.
But even with all the incredible places I’d been, there was always something missing: spirituality. After a big wake-up call, I remembered that moment in Nepal and felt called to dive deeper into meditation. I started practicing every day, reconnecting to that clarity I had felt before. I also took courses in meditation, sound healing, and other holistic practices, learning from some amazing teachers along the way.
That’s when everything clicked. My travels had shaped who I was, but meditation brought a whole new depth to my life. It gave me peace and mindfulness in a way I hadn’t realized I needed. I began to understand that everything is about balance, harmony between the inner and outer world, stillness and movement, grounding and exploring. Meditation became the perfect companion to my nomadic life.
This journey eventually led me to create Sahra, a space dedicated to sound healing and meditation. It’s been a beautiful way to offer private events, corporate gatherings, and community workshops, helping others discover peace and healing in their own lives.
Looking back, this journey has transformed me. I’ve found a minimalist, joyful way of living, one that’s all about being present, aligning with my purpose, and embracing the freedom and growth that comes from following your passions. Travel, meditation, and mindfulness have all intertwined to create a life of curiosity, presence, and meaning.
