In-Person Retreat
The Art of Aliveness
Agadir, Morocco
Free your inner artist and connect to more aliveness in all areas of your life through a soulful blend of art, movement, writing, creative play, and breathwork.
Surrounded by warm desert light and Morocco’s intoxicating colors, textures, and traditions, an unforgettable creative adventure awaits. I’m thrilled to collaborate once again with UpTrek for this retreat, this time at their most spectacular venue: an extraordinary eco-conscious fortress nestled in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains.
Across eight nourishing days, you’ll release perfectionism and rediscover your creative freedom through expressive painting, flow writing, breathwork, mindful movement, and meaningful community connection.
Between our creative sessions, there will be time to slow down, savor traditional Moroccan meals, relax by the pool, experience the restorative ritual of a hammam, and simply take in the beauty of our surroundings. We’ll also venture beyond our retreat home to experience the vibrant culture of southern Morocco, with journeys to Agadir and the ancient walled city of Taroudant, a traditional Moroccan tea ceremony, and an argan oil demonstration with local women.
This will be my fourth trip to Morocco, and I can’t imagine a more creatively alive place to gather, explore, and create together.

Cancellation & Transfer Policy
Retreats take months of planning, and when you say yes to a spot, we hold that space just for you. That's why our cancellation policy is built the way it is, and I want to be upfront with you about it before you commit.
Email teamlove@florabowley.com if you'd like to set up payments for your retreat spot.
- If you need to cancel
Please let us know in writing at teamlove@florabowley.com as soon as you know. We will do everything we can to fill your spot from our waitlist or through word of mouth. If we're able to fill your spot, you'll receive a refund of your retreat investment minus a $300 cancellation fee. Refunds will be issued once the replacement participant has registered and paid in full.
If we're not able to fill your spot, no refund will be issued, so please only book when you're genuinely able to attend.
- Transferring your spot
If you're unable to attend, you may request to transfer your spot to another person. Transfers must be approved by us in advance, and the new participant will need to complete all required registration forms and agree to the retreat terms and conditions.
Any exchange of payment between you and the person taking your spot is your responsibility. Please contact us as soon as possible if you'd like to request a transfer. Transfers may not be possible close to the retreat start date due to accommodations, transportation, dietary arrangements, or other logistical considerations.
- If we need to make changes or cancel
Life is unpredictable, and once in a while something bigger than any of us steps in—a natural disaster, public health concern, severe weather, government restrictions, or another circumstance beyond our control.
In these rare situations, we reserve the right to make reasonable changes to the retreat as needed, including shifting dates, adjusting the venue, or modifying the itinerary. We will communicate any changes as quickly as possible.
If we need to cancel the retreat entirely, you will receive a full refund of all retreat payments made to us, or you may choose to transfer those payments to another available retreat.
Please keep in mind that we are not responsible for airfare, transportation, accommodations booked outside of the retreat, or other travel-related expenses affected by a cancellation or change.
