What your retreat price covers — and what you arrange separately.
The Reconnect experience
Not a rushed tour. Not a rigid course. A carefully held week where art becomes a way to be present.
Expert teaching, distinctive places and small groups. Guidance when you need it and space when you do not.
Atmospheric watercolour tuition from Jurga Vilimaite, with personal attention for mixed levels.
Marrakech is not a backdrop. Its colour, craft, architecture and daily rhythm shape the work.
Accommodation, materials, core experiences and transfers are organised so you can arrive calmly.
Around 10–12 guests creates more support, stronger connection and less pressure.
Four focused painting days sit alongside cultural exploration, rest and unhurried observation.
Continued unlimited feedback on your work for up to one year by Jurga.
