DESERT · BACK TO WHAT MATTERS RETREATS
Time and Space
In the hush of a Moroccan riad, time slows to the pace of mint tea and the call to prayer. Palais Sebban becomes our base for a retreat built entirely around spaciousness — in the day, and in the mind.
Five days built around spaciousness — arrival, reflection, the open desert, and the particular quiet of watching a city wake up from above. Nothing here is rushed. The days have shape, but plenty of room in them too.
The Programme
Day One — Monday
Arrival & Settling In
Focus: arrive, slow down, and let the riad’s quiet take over.
- Fly into Marrakesh and transfer to Palais Sebban, in the heart of the medina.
- Settle into your room, then meet the group over mint tea in the courtyard.
- A short welcome circle — introductions, and setting intentions for the days ahead.
- Dinner on the terrace as the call to prayer drifts over the rooftops.
Day Two — Tuesday
Stillness & Reflection
Focus: the Kyashar programme — reflection, journaling, and real space to think.
- A morning session in the riad’s shaded courtyard, opening the week’s work.
- Guided journaling — naming what you’ve been carrying, and what you’re ready to put down.
- A quiet afternoon to rest, read, or wander the medina at your own pace.
- An evening session, closing the day gently.
Day Three — Wednesday
Into the Desert
Focus: leaving the city behind, meeting the stillness of the open desert.
- Depart Palais Sebban for the desert beyond the city.
- An afternoon away from walls and schedules — space, silence, sky.
- Watch the sunset settle over the dunes together.
- Return to the riad for a late, easy dinner.
Day Four — Thursday
Sunrise Above the Dunes
Focus: an early rise, and a different way of seeing the day begin.
- A pre-dawn start, driving out while the city still sleeps.
- A hot air balloon flight at sunrise, the desert unfolding beneath you.
- Breakfast together once your feet are back on the ground.
- A free afternoon back at Palais Sebban, before a closing circle in the evening.
Day Five — Friday
Departure
Focus: a last, unhurried morning before the journey home.
- A final breakfast together on the terrace.
- A closing circle — what you’re carrying back with you.
- Check out and transfer to the airport.
- Fly home, at your own pace.
