Escape to the stunning shores of Taghazout, Morocco, where young adventurers gather to create lasting friendships, connect with nature, and embrace the ultimate retreat experience. Perched above the Atlantic Ocean, at the foot of the majestic Atlas Mountains, Taghazout is a vibrant blend of unspoiled beaches, surf culture, and authentic Berber charm. Perfect for those seeking a balance of relaxation and adventure, this retreat offers the ideal setting to unwind, explore, and thrive.
What to Expect
Join us for four unforgettable days where connection and community take centre stage. Whether you're catching waves, practicing Qigong on the beach, or sharing stories under the stars, this retreat is designed to help you build meaningful friendships with like-minded people.
Morning Qigong Sessions:
Start your day with the 'Shibashi' series—a flowing set of 18 Qigong movements that awaken your body and mind, performed right on the beach as the sun rises over the Atlantic.
Traditional Chinese Medicine Insights:
Delve into TCM theory with sessions that explore how each Qigong move benefits your organs, along with practical tips on diet and sleep for holistic well-being.
Surfing and Adventure:
Your afternoons are yours to explore. Whether you’re riding the waves with optional surf lessons, hiking the rugged trails, or lounging on the beach, you’ll find plenty of ways to enjoy the beauty of Taghazout.
Evening Wind-Down:
As the day winds down, reconnect with your inner peace through mantra meditation, yin yoga, and the soothing sounds of singing bowls, all set against the backdrop of the ocean.
Special Excursion to Paradise Valley:
Mid-retreat, we’ll venture to Paradise Valley, a breathtaking gorge lined with palm trees, serene pools, and waterfalls. It’s a chance to bond with your new friends in one of Morocco’s most beautiful natural settings.
Closing Ceremony
On Sunday, March 2, we’ll come together for a reflective sharing circle, celebrating our journey and the connections we’ve made. There’s ample time to wrap up for those catching an evening flight.
