I’ll guide you to turn your ideas from your head and heart into visual art.

This is for you if you are missing the space in your life to fully set out on your urge to create. Dedicate seven days to art and be surprised by what you are able to make with your hands and mind.

We’ll go outside for watercolor sketching in nature and to local architecture, observing and translating what we see. The light, landscape, rich colors, and patterns of Morocco are just overwhelmingly beautyful. We will also visit towns and artisan markets to get inspired and emerge in the culture.

In mentoring sessions and community circles, we’ll speak about challenges, ideas, and goals; to feel connected with like-minded people and share our work with peers. In the daily art lessons, you’ll learn applyable techniques for watercolor, acrylics, and water-mixable oils. I will teach you my personal workflow and knowledeg about materials.We will use mixed media and collage as a first step to create an original and personal painting. By blending different techniques and media, you can discover and develop your own artistic voice.

All within our studio space, designed for focused work in a calm, professional setting. The mountains and the ocean are always in view and just a short walk away, inviting moments of rest and reflection. Your week is rounded by a guided ocean experience at secret coves, with the option to explore surfing in a discovery lesson. We will also discover the beauty ancient argan trees, collect shells and seatreasures and climb a mountain for best views.

For the final project, you’ll create a large, multi-layered painting on canvas based on your own subject and dialogue with the place. It will be rollable so that you can easily take it home. You’ll receive personal 1:1 guidance and feedback to support your growth as a creative character. The focus is on idea development, concept, composition, color building, and expressing meaning through your work.

Your individual style and artistic personality are at the center. I’m holding the space to mentor you in bringing that to life. You will take home your collected treasures and a new creative routine that you can integrate into your daily life.

But what about food?

Clean eating at Bamah.

Eating clean is all about whole foods. Real ingredients from nature, that are simply healthy by their full range of components without industrial processing.

Brunch

During our surf sessions / creative workshops we will cook some tea on the fire.

There will also be the option to buy a coffee or juice from local sellers at the beach or souq.

Lunch

For lunch, we will most of the time share a picnic-style gathering in nature, with an international fusion kitchen of very fresh and healthy ingredients to lightly recharge during sessions.

Think of colourful salads with carbs, proteins, seeds, fruits and exotic toppings, rice or quinoa bowls with tuna, summer rolls with an Asian touch, avocado and egg sandwiches… All inspired by our melting pot of cultures and travels to French, Indonesian, Israeli, Russian and Kyrgyz cuisine. If we take lunch at a local café during excursion days, the expenses for one dish per Person are included.

Dinner

The highlight of truly authentic Moroccan cuisine (which counts as one of the most flavourful in the world) will be our family-style dinners on our rooftop terrace.

You will try a variety of new Moroccan flavours with different spices, such as Harira, tomato-based lentil soup for starters, Zalouuk, a caramelized aubergine salad and pil pil, fresh shrimps in a chili and lime sauce. Couscous with cooked pumpkin and vegetables in a broth is traditionally served on Fridays. Tajine is the typical clay pot dish with different recipes, featuring chicken, lemon, potatoes and vegetables or beef, sweet plums and almonds cooked for hours over fire. We will also fire up our charcoal barbecue and host a good dinner party with local meat specialties like chicken skewers and fresh fish from local fishermen under the clear starry Moroccan sky.
