Morocco
7 nights, 8 days
March 21 - 28, 2026
Taghazout, Morocco
You’ve been here before, and now you’re ready to take it one step deeper…
Depths of Discovery is a retreat exclusively for alumni. We created because of popular demand. It’s for those who have already begun the journey, and are now ready to take the next step.
Over the course of one week, we’ll return to the familiar foundations of ACT, while moving further into the terrain of the mind. We’ll explore what’s shaped us, how we relate to ourselves and others, and what it really means to move forward with clarity and intention.
You can expect more surfing and more rest, but the same depth that defines our work at Ripple. Together with familiar faces and new ones, you’ll be supported to stretch into the edges of your growth, build new insights, and root even more deeply into the tools and inner knowing you’ve already begun to cultivate.
This is Ripple 2.0. A deepening. A continuation. A place to land, expand, and move forward. The goal is to send you back home with even more clarity and tools to build the life that’s right for you.

What to Expect
The Ripple Approach: Mind, Body, and Connection
Our program is designed to help you get clear, feel grounded, and reconnect with what truly matters.
We do this through a combination of:
Therapy
We use ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), but will also incorporate elements of
Schema Therapy and somatic practice to help you deal with thoughts and emotions more
effectively. This program will have you leave with new tools to handle life’s challenges
and teach how to move forward with courage, clarity, and self-compassion.
Surfing
The power of the ocean is already something that you’re familiar with.
Whether it’s your second time, or your fiftieth, surfing will challenge you to stay present,
let go of control, and trust the process. In this retreat there will be more time to focus on improving
your surfing skills, with photo and video analysis and in-depth coaching.
Yoga & Mindfulness
Every day includes practices to help you slow down, connect with your body, and anchor
yourself in the present. We’ll bring you to the next level in mindfulness, and have you leave supple and relaxed.
Community
You’ll be surrounded by others who are also here to grow. This retreat attracts people who are open, curious, and ready for change. Many leave with deep friendships and a strong support network that continues long after the retreat ends. Join the creme de la creme of the Ripple Family!

A typical day at Ripple:
Our retreat unfolds on Morocco’s peaceful Atlantic coast, where rolling hills meet the sea and time seems to slow down. Just under one hour from Agadir airport, this hidden stretch of coastline offers a quiet, spacious setting that feels worlds away from the rush of everyday life.
We’ll be staying at a beautifully designed guesthouse owned by the national bodyboarding champion Brahim Iddouch. The space blends traditional Moroccan touches with modern comfort. Think warm, minimal interiors, handwoven textiles, and views that stretch endlessly out to sea. Rooms are simple and serene, and the shared spaces include peaceful terraces, cozy corners, and a pool with the sound of waves in the background.
Each day begins with the call of seabirds and a salty breeze drifting in from the Atlantic. There’s time for surf sessions on long, uncrowded beaches, and gentle movement to connect back into your body. Evenings bring slow dinners, meaningful group conversations, and the golden glow of sunset over the cliffs.
The surrounding coastline is raw and unspoiled, with long sandy beaches, quiet dunes, and small local villages nearby. It’s the kind of place that naturally invites introspection, grounding, and a deep exhale.
You’ll feel it the moment you arrive.

I’m in, how do I join?
We care deeply about the experience of each person who joins. To make sure Ripple is the right fit for you (and that you’re a good fit for the group), we ask everyone to apply through a short call. This helps us create the safest, most supportive space possible for deep work, real connection, and lasting change.
During the call, we’ll talk about where you’re at, what you’re hoping to get out of the retreat, and whether this program is aligned with what you need right now. You’ll also get the chance to ask any questions and feel out if Ripple feels right for you.
If you decide to join, a 20% deposit secures your spot. The full balance is due 30 days before the retreat—and if you need a payment plan or extra flexibility, just ask. We're happy to work with you.
Spaces are limited and the group stays small. Once it’s full, it’s full.
Meet your host
Hi, I’m Djai!
I’m a neuropsychologist, therapist, and the founder of Ripple Surf Therapy.
I started Ripple because I wanted to do things differently. I’ve spent years in therapy rooms helping people navigate anxiety, burnout, addiction, trauma and disconnection. All that time, I kept seeing the same thing: people don’t just need more insight. They need space. Movement. Real connection. And maybe most importantly: the chance to put what they learn into action, instead of just talking about it. Understanding is only one part of the puzzle, and it’s certainly not enough to make change happen.
I believe mental health work can be active, embodied, and even joyful.
That’s what Ripple is all about.
It’s a place where therapy meets the real world, where the work we do isn’t just talked about, but lived. Where psychology becomes practical, grounded, and relevant to your daily life. This program will remind you that the strength and clarity you need is already within you, sometimes buried under old patterns, but always there, ready to be uncovered. You’ll leave with with new insights that will stay with you forever.
I don’t do this alone. I work with a small, dedicated team of certified psychologists, each personally vetted and trained in ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy). They bring the same care, depth, and professionalism that Ripple stands for. Together, we’re here to make sure you receive the highest quality support throughout your journey.
We’ll be there to guide the group therapy sessions, lead the mindfulness work, and walk alongside you throughout the week. Whether that’s in session, over breakfast, or while watching the sunset after a surf.
I don’t say this lightly: this retreat changes lives. I’ve seen it again and again. When people step into this space with openness and courage, things happen. Fast.
If you’re ready for that kind of change, I’d love to see you in one of our retreats!
– Djai
