Reconnect with yourself where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Moroccan coast. Spend seven nights immersed in a setting shaped by ocean, movement, culture, connection, and intentional therapeutic work.
At the heart of the retreat is clinician-led EMDR therapy, psychoeducation, mindfulness, and guided reflection, complemented by surfing, yoga, Pilates, and other somatic experiences designed to support mind-body connection.
Two individual pre-retreat clinical sessions •
Group EMDR therapy • Psychoeducation •
Mindfulness & reflection • Post-retreat integration
Your experience begins before you arrive and continues after you return home, creating space to prepare, engage deeply in the work, and integrate what you take from the week.
Surfing • Pilates • Yoga • Breathwork • Meditation • Therapeutic movement
Movement and mindfulness are offered as complementary somatic experiences alongside the EMDR process, giving you opportunities to connect with your body, practice presence and regulation, challenge yourself, play, and experience something new.
Surfing is one of the signature experiences of our Morocco retreat. With experienced local instructors, you’ll have the opportunity to learn, build confidence, challenge yourself, and experience the Atlantic in an entirely new way.
Beyond the adventure, surfing offers a uniquely embodied experience, bringing together movement, breath, balance, attention, resilience, and presence in real time. It’s one of the ways we take the mind-body work of the retreat beyond the therapy room and into lived experience.
Instruction is appropriate for complete beginners through experienced surfers and is adapted to each participant’s comfort, ability, and experience level.
Mind Body Align PDX will be partnering with Alignment Collective to provide clinical expertise and EMDR therapy in Morocco.

Set along Morocco’s Atlantic coast, Taghazout Bay is a laid-back surf destination where ocean, mountains, and Moroccan culture come together. Spend time exploring local cafés and shops, watching the sunset, or simply enjoying the slower pace of coastal life.
Getting Here: Agadir–Al Massira Airport (AGA) is approximately 45 minutes away. Marrakech Menara Airport (RAK) is about 3.5 hours away by private transfer and offers additional international flight options.
For the week, we’ll call The Yogi Surfer Villa home. Reserved exclusively for our retreat guests, this traditional Moroccan villa blends modern comfort with local charm.
Spacious ensuite bedrooms, Atlantic-view rooftop terraces, a swimming pool, and peaceful indoor and outdoor spaces create plenty of room to relax and connect. Dedicated spaces for clinical sessions, EMDR, Pilates, and yoga allow the retreat to unfold naturally throughout the property.
Experience Morocco through its food, traditions, and everyday rhythms. Throughout the week, you’ll enjoy fresh Moroccan cuisine, local flavors, and thoughtfully curated cultural experiences that offer a deeper connection to the place you’ve traveled to.
You’ll also have time to slow down with a traditional hammam experience and restorative massage; an opportunity to rest, reset, and simply receive after days filled with therapy, movement, exploration, and connection.
