A short, soulful immersion where ancient clay practices meet deep hospitality

Step into a world where craft, land, and lineage are inseparable. Nestled in a valley at the base of the Rif Mountains, this 3+ day journey offers a profound encounter with one of Morocco’s oldest living pottery traditions, passed through generations of women for over a thousand years.

Stay in a hillside homestay run by a family rooted in the land. Join Zhour, a traditional potter who forms, fires, and decorates her vessels entirely by hand using only the materials around her. This is not a demonstration; it’s an invitation to experience the ritual and rhythm of rural craft, its deep links to environment, community, and continuity.
