Roots & Renewal – A Slow Living Retreat of Movement, Food & Moroccan Culture
Sidi Kaouki, Morocco
9 nights : April 28th – May 7th 2027
This special trip is so much more than a holiday, and more than a retreat.
It’s an invitation into a way of life.
Rather than observing Morocco from the outside, you will experience it from within—through connection with the land, food, friendships, stories, traditions and everyday moments that cannot be found in a guidebook.
It is a chance to truly slow down and discover how simplicity, nature, movement and conscious nourishment can gently transform the way we live.
Experience this wild coastal area of Morocco at a gentle pace. Drop into the rhythm of the raw, rugged and earthy landscape. Let the elemental beauty expand your perception and offer an opportunity to perceive life through a different lens.
Create & Collaborate
This trip is curated with my dear friend Nadine who has lived in Morocco for over 25 years.
I have long been inspired by Nadine’s story – how she has embraced and integrated into her community, her deep love for Berber culture and being a fluent speaker of the native language, how she has woven her life, beyond being an ex pat, into the very fabric and heart of Moroccan life.
This is what makes this trip so unique and special.
This is what will take us beyond a tourist trip, into a felt and embodied experience of slow living, in this wild and unspoilt area of Morocco.
Our collaboration brings together a mutual passion for living a nourishing connected life; for returning to essence, source, origin and simplicity. We will weave together culture, tradition, movement, food, daily ritual and expand our sense of time.
Nourished by Land, Culture & Tradition
Be held in the elemental beauty of this landscape positioned between sweeping wild coastline, peaceful countryside and village life.
Throughout the retreat you will have time to;
walk the beaches and dunes
spend time at Nadine’s home The Wild Garden
visit a truly authentic souk
enjoy lunch at a family run permaculture farm
learn how argan oil is really made and listen to stories of its tradition in this area
join the local fisherman on the beach for a sunset supper
Nourished by Food & Inspiring Cooking Classes
All meals will be focused around local seasonal ingredients as much as possible, carefully sourced to support small scale producers in the area. Myself, Nadine & a local chef will prepare the food for the retreat and we include cooking classes……….
Nourished by Movement & daily ritual
Every day we will move our bodies together to unwind the stresses and tensions of modern life and allow the experience to sink a little deeper into the body…..
