The Collaboration
Kindred Spirits
X Ride Into Infinity
From the very beginning, there was a recognition - a sense that their paths were woven together, even if life would take them in different directions.
Terry and Abbas have always stayed in touch, sharing visions of what’s possible when horses, yoga, and nature come together.
Their work together is rooted in integrity, respect for the land, and an unwavering commitment to ethical horsemanship. As the idea of a Morocco retreat emerged, Abbas set out on an in-depth exploration of the country, spending weeks riding with Berber horsemen, meeting families who have lived with horses for generations, and seeking out partners who care for their animals with the same devotion that defines Kindred Spirits.
He travelled through kasbahs, oases, valleys, and remote desert routes, ensuring that every element of this retreat, from the horses to the landscapes to the cultural experiences, would be authentic, responsible, and rooted in real connection.

Yes the retreat is thoughtfully paced and includes moments of free time throughout the journey.
That said, this is a traveling odyssey, not a stay-in-one-place retreat. Our days are shaped by riding, moving between landscapes, shared meals, and rest, which means free time appears naturally rather than as long open blocks.
You can expect:
Quiet time at lodgings in the afternoons or evenings
Space to rest, journal, walk, or simply be
Occasional optional walks or short explorations near where we stay
