Wellness
& Meeting with the Locals
The oldest wellness practice on earth is still alive in Morocco. We will take you to it.
Marrakech · Morocco
リトリート
Slow down enough
to meet the people.
Most retreats take you to Morocco and give you Morocco as a backdrop. This one takes you to the people who live here. Three days in Marrakech: yoga, medina walks, a morning with Berber women in the cooperatives, the hammam as it has been practiced for five hundred years. Two days in the High Atlas: walking with nomadic shepherds in the mountain valleys, lunching in a Berber household, understanding what the land provides.
Three nights in the Sahara at Umnya Dune Camp: evening fires with the camp's Sahrawi team, walking at dawn in the silence before the heat, a cooking session using only what the desert edge provides. Eight days of yoga, culture and human connection. No agenda beyond the day in front of you.

お待ちしているもの
Yoga and movement
Daily morning yoga in Marrakech, the Atlas and the Sahara. Each setting changes what the practice means. The same postures, three different skies.
Walking with nomads
Two-day walk with Sahrawi nomadic shepherds in the valleys around Erg Chigaga. Understanding the routes, the water sources, the seasonal rhythms of desert life.
Meeting with Berbers
A morning with an Atlas Berber family: their household, their livestock, their argan cooperative, their food. Not a tour - a visit.
Cultural visits
Medina walk in Marrakech with a local guide who grew up here. Pottery cooperatives, spice merchants, the tanneries, the hammam. The city at its own pace.
Pottery workshop
A half-day in a Marrakech pottery studio with a master craftsman. The oldest craft in Morocco, practiced in the same workshops for centuries.
Hammam and cooking
Traditional hammam ceremony mid-retreat. A cooking class with a Marrakech chef: the spices, the tagine, the slow food of a thousand years of Moroccan hospitality.
