10 places max.
Step away from the day-to-day and give yourself the space to think, connect and reset. A small-group business retreat and networking escape in Marrakech for founders who want to come back clearer.
About the Retreat
Stop working in your business.
Start thinking about it.
Running a business means you’re constantly making decisions, solving problems and keeping everything moving.
But when was the last time you actually stepped back and gave yourself proper space to think?
Business Beyond the Office: Moroccan Edition is a small-group business retreat and networking escape in Marrakech, created for founders and business owners who need time away from the day-to-day.
Across five days, you’ll join a carefully curated group of like-minded business owners for rooftop conversations, cultural experiences, relaxed networking and space to reconnect with what matters most.
This isn’t a conference. It isn’t a packed workshop. And it definitely isn’t forced networking in a beige meeting room.
It’s a chance to step away from the noise, gain fresh perspective and come back with clarity.
What to Expect
An experience designed for business owners who need space to think
Guided Reflection
Gently structured moments woven throughout the experience - giving your ideas, thoughts and next steps the room to surface naturally.
Small Group
A deliberately limited group of like-minded business owners. Real conversations, real connection and no filler.
Curated Marrakech
Riad courtyards, rooftop conversations, medina moments, mountain views and Moroccan hospitality. A setting designed to help you slow down and think differently.
Space to Think
No back-to-back agenda. No endless PowerPoints. Just the time, environment and conversations to reflect on what you actually want to build.
This probably isn’t for you if you’re looking for a rigid training programme, a speaker-led conference or a quick-fix formula.
This is about space, connection and clarity - not cramming more into your calendar.
Who This Is For
This is for you if…
This retreat is designed for established business owners, founders and entrepreneurs who need space to step back, think clearly and reconnect with what matters - not another course, not another to-do list.
You want to connect with other founders who get it - without forced networking or surface-level conversations
You’re ready to invest in yourself and your business - not just your workload
You’re running a business but feel like you’re always in it, never above it
You know what you should be doing — you just haven’t had the time to think it through
Why Morocco?
A place that slows you down in the best way
Morocco offers a completely different pace of life. From peaceful riad courtyards to rooftop conversations and the energy of the medina, the environment naturally encourages slower conversations and deeper thinking.
Marrakech is vivid, sensory and alive — yet surprisingly peaceful when you step away from the bustle. It’s a city that sparks creativity just by existing.
Expect:
Boutique riad accommodation
Rooftop business and networking time
Hidden corners of the Marrakech medina
Atlas Mountains and Imlil discovery day
Lunch with locals and Berber bread-making
Authentic Moroccan cultural experiences
How It's Run
Hosted, relaxed and intentionally different
This experience will be gently hosted throughout, with space for both structured reflection and natural conversation.
You won’t be sitting through presentations or being “taught”. Instead, you’ll be given the time, setting and prompts to step back, think differently and gain clarity on what really matters in your business.
I’ll be there throughout the experience to bring the group together, guide conversations and make sure the details are taken care of - so you can be fully present.
It’s about creating the right environment — the kind that allows ideas, conversations and next steps to surface naturally.
