Dear Inner Waves, I feel my heart went to the gym today! After these days with you, my inner cup got filled and it feels great inside now. I feel peace, and like a cookie taken out from the oven, ready for the world! Thank you for such a beautiful experience. Each day brought me a meaningful experience and awareness moments.

From my heart,

Beyond Retreats, a roller coaster that takes you to the core of your shadows, helps you bring them to the light, embrace them, balm them, and befriend them. All in the loving presence of an easy-going, all-in-flow team of guides.

I joined this retreat, because there was so much on offer: surf, circles, Morocco, music. It sounded perfect to me, but as the title says, this is so much more than a retreat! I found myself connected with myself in new ways, the connection with the group, with the ocean. With the sand and the sun & moon… The container you guys hold is precious, and from that, such abundance comes… Much gratitude for how gently and heartfelt and beautifully co-created this week was.

Thank you,

Dear Iunia, Amalia, Uwe and Sabin,

Thank you for this retreat beyond retreats! I came to Morocco with fears for being a woman in an arab, muslim country and for knowing just one other person from a group of 20. I am now leaving with a place in my heart for the new friends I’ve made. During the 6 days, we’ve shared the the challenges and the joys of surfing – both the inner and the ocean waves. Many heartwarming memories to be grateful for: the day in the desert with the fun of sandsurfing, the dinner under the full moon and the peace of chanting around the fire; the trekking in Paradise Valley, the yoga, the music, the sunsets, the laughter, the poems, the stories and the delicious home-made Morrocan food that we shared. Darsurf hostel in Taghazout quickly became a space for feeling at home with good friends. Thank you for hosting such an uplifting event!

Until next time,

I’d like to send my heartfelt thanks to you, Iunia, Amalia, Sabin and Uwe for hosting us this week in Morocco. It was an extraordinary week of love, laughter, music, sharing and, of course(!!), surfing. I am especially grateful for the opportunity you gave us to meet and to spend time with such a beautiful group of people in a way that allowed us to be held and to learn about each other and about ourselves. The organisation, variety of activities and the beautiful setting combined to make this a special week and I look forward to joining you at many future gatherings

With love,

Dear Beyond Retreats, your beautiful energy has enabled me to continue my personal growth in ways I had not expected. During these days at the Inner Waze retreat, my soul has expanded, my heart felt full, and I found and explored the power of my voice, inspired by Sabin and Uwe’s beautiful music. Thank you for this amazing opportunity to connect with you all, with the participants, the ocean the desert, the Wadi, and myself. 

Thank you from the bottom of my heart,
