A Horse-Guided Odyssey Across Morocco
2026 SPRING May
2026 FALL September
Heart lead retreats, finding connections with horse lovers across the world, while taking in breath taking landscapes.
The Collaboration
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.
Morocco, Ride Into Infinity Retreat
An Odyssey Across Kasbahs, Oases & the Golden Sands of Morocco’s Sahara
Travel through ancient Berber routes, palm oases, starlit deserts and timeless kasbahs on a transformative, horse-guided journey grounded in authenticity and ethical connection. Shaped by Abbas’s deep research and relationships with Berber horsemen, this odyssey offers a meaningful, soul-led experience.
For those who feel the call of the desert - riders, yogis and seekers -the landscapes of Ouarzazate, Aït Ben Haddou, Oued Noujoum, the Palmeraie, the Valley of Roses, the Dades Gorge, Erfoud, Merzouga and Gnaoua villages become guides on a return to self.
