Your Guide
Kurdish-Iranian storyteller, retreat creator and creative producer based in London. Shaho has spent over a decade designing experiences that blend nature, culture, and the inner journey.
His retreats are not tours. They are invitations into landscapes that hold ancient memory — and into conversations with parts of yourself you may have long since forgotten.

“The landscape always knows what the mind has forgotten.”
— Shaho
2026 — 2027

From Those Who Have Journeyed

I arrived searching for rest. I left carrying something I can only describe as remembrance — of who I was before the noise of the world got too loud. Shaho doesn't guide you through a landscape. He guides you back to yourself.

Objects of Memory
Each retreat is paired with a symbolic carpet — hand-selected and woven with the colours, patterns and textures of that specific landscape and culture.
A carpet is not a souvenir. It is a woven memory of where you were, who you became, and what you chose to carry forward.

Earth & Silence
Sorme-ye Khak
The ancient valley woven in ochre and stone

The Rising Flame
Phoenix Retreat
Fire, transformation, and the courage to begin again

The River Weave
Tasian
Water's memory, carried from mountain to plain
Carpets are available exclusively through each retreat page. Each piece is tied to a specific journey and comes with its story.
