Dispatch From Marrakech

Somatic Psychotherapy in the Palmeraie

Greetings from Marrakech. In January, after my last visit, I wrote about asking bigger questions while in the desert and my entire life changed after that. Ironically, I’m now here for a “fulfillment retreat” guided by a somatic psychotherapist at her remarkably beautiful property. I’ve never been on a retreat before, and this one promised deeper self-knowing, so I will report back on the whole experience over on YOLO Journal, who kindly sends me on these health-related journeys (I tried biohacking in June).

Inner work is important for everyone. And that doesn’t mean an expensive therapist or a trip to Morocco. Regardless of the approach, it takes more than a few days to sift through our ever-changing experiences—but making time to ask questions and reflect is important. Especially right now, with the state of the world and our need to shape our place within it, there’s a lot to sort out at any age or life stage.
