Experience House 5

15 DAYS | March 18 - April 2,2023 | Marrakech, Morocco

Welcome to Morocco

As the plane hovers over the Red City, a city older than time, a glance through your window reveals a whirlwind of colour; pyramids of spices, locals in richly woven fabrics, and a thousand other exotic goods turn the market below into a living kaleidoscope.

You are one of 30 exceptional minds converging to create an international tribe hellbent on accelerating ambitious and emergent visions in the realm of human connection.

You may not know yet but, as you enter your home for the coming month, you are met by the very hearts and minds that will propel you into your next level.

You look around the room and can’t help but wonder…

What elements of your vision will come to life in this container?
What will feel more alive in your mission?
What will feel more alive in you?

There’s only one way to find out.

Welcome to Experience House Morocco.

OUR SANCTUARY

Only 20 minutes outside or Marrakech, our venue is an oasis in every sense of the word. Designed for artists and creators, consider this your sandbox. Complete with a recording studio, an amphitheater fit for Plato, 4 pools, Turkish hammam, yoga shala, co-working spaces with fiber-optic internet, and the most decadent private rooms—you’ll never want to leave.

AMENITIES

WELLNESS

You can count on daily classes at the Yoga Shala & plenty of downtime spent at the Spa. A timeless temple, readily available to refine & declutter the mind, body & spirit.

MUSIC

From live concerts and full-on festivals to improvised jam sessions and intimate evenings. Our venue is a well known sanctuary among creatives where they gather to compose, exchange, gain inspiration and co-create throughout their stay. Artists from all walks of life have claimed this space, where they allowed themselves to be irresistibly invaded by a powerful, creative & rare energy.

NATURE

Think: Garden of Eden, where the aromatic herbs dance about the flowers and abundant vegetation. The venue is surrounded by 2 hectares of flowers, olive trees and rose bushes, offering a multitude of perspectives, scents and colours.

FOOD

Chef prepared meals using seasonal produce that is sourced from organic, local and fresh farmlands, some of which are freshly picked and prepared from the permaculture vegetable garden! Our menu is curated to nourish our attendees and ensure they feel their absolute best, while experiencing local culinary culture throughout the wide variety of Moroccan flavors.

Your Chamber

Moroccan design is already world renowned. Add the inspiration of artists like Queen, Bob Marley, and Jimmy Hendrix, and you have a truly unique place to stay. Better yet, they all come with private work space, several have private pools, and a few are world class in luxury. Whichever room you choose, you have a space to call your own, but are only seconds away from the action.

PROGRAMMING

The majority of programming at XH is attendee-led, which provides a platform to experiment, leads to a deeply giving and generous culture, and results in unexpected experiences and moments we could never plan for.

XH IS A SANDBOX

To give you a sense of what’s in store, here’s some of the highlights from a previous program in Guatemala:

mastermind sessions, where the collective brainpower, resources, and connections of 20+ housemates were used to solve each other’s greatest challenges

meditation, yoga, acroyoga, breathwork, and workout classes taught by expert attendees

daily silk and acrobat classes hosted by one of Brookly’s finest circus performers

writing workshops held by an award winning poet

an “Amazing Race” around the colonial city of Antigua that ended in a mixology competition

a sunset dance party on the summit of a 13,000 ft active volcano

an extravagant Arabian dinner involving 4+ days of food preparation, Aladdin-style costumes, an aerial silk performance, walking on broken glass, and a dance party

TED-style talks (dubbed “Fuego Talks”) where attendees shared their vision of how we gather and connect in a post-COVID world

an epic closing party that went until sunrise, featuring some of Guatemala’s top DJs

Of course, no XH will ever be the same. And that’s part of the magic. ✨

Sophia Babb

ENTREPRENEUR | SINGER-SONGWRITER | BUSINESS OWNER | EFFECTIVE ALTRUIST | SPEAKER

When Sophia was 13, her father took his own life. Her chapter of childhood quickly closed, and she was thrust into a harsher reality. In an attempt to cope, she picked up a guitar and started writing songs. What started as a salve to her grief quickly grew into an obsession of perfecting her craft. And not just the music — the business of it, too. Picking up on things like marketing, sales, and product market fit, she loved to tinker with the inputs and outputs that create a business.

She took this knowledge and created a nationally-touring indie folk band called Companion with her identical twin sister, writing songs about grief, healing, and all the life that happens in between.

Her success in the music industry naturally led her into marketing, where she went fully freelance in 2019 as a consultant, helping e-commerce startups grow into multimillion dollar companies. Today she lives in Fort Collins, Colorado, dividing her time between writing music, running her marketing business, and nurturing a cohousing community called the Neighbormune with nine other residents.

Yasmina Zriouil

ARCHITECT | CREATIVE DIRECTOR

After a first license of Architecture in Paris, I set out on a journey to further understand the world that I inhabit, grabbed my rucksack, and hit the road. For more than a year and a half, my home had become mobile, and I became a nomad. Although without a fixed habitat, I said I never felt as much “at home” as I did not possess “home” material.

It was after crossing rivers, seas, and mountains that I decided to return to Europe, and continued my master’s degree at the National School of Architecture in Lisbon.

After obtaining my diploma, I left for Mexico to work for Roth Architecture, which inspired me to continue on this path of neo-vernacular architecture and opened her own atelier.

Today I live between Mexico City and Marrakech, and besides her architecture, I develop Yedder World, a brand that highlights Moroccan vintage, kaftans that have been forgotten.
In 2018, after a first meeting with the Burning man community, Steven Raspah wrote to me: “May the experience make you more yourself and give you proof that anything is possible.”

In this regard, being fully aware of the richness of my country, my co-founder and I created a Moroccan camp in Black Rock City to share its artistic culture but also its nomadic tradition, which we believe could inspire our new way of living as Digital Nomads.

FAQS

What's the work setup?

This is a “work hard play hard” culture where you can continue to do your normal work throughout the month, but in an incredible environment with other like-minded creators. We’ll have dedicated workspaces, rooms for private video calls, designated work times, and possibly even facilitated work sprints.

How much structure/programming will there be?

This is a co-created gathering, which means a majority of programmed events will be attendee-led. This is a unique opportunity for you to share your gifts, collaborate, and experiment in a safe environment with people who will both love on you and challenge you to improve. You can expect things like opening and closing ceremonies, attendee-led talks and workshops, meditation, yoga, breathwork, dance classes, jam sessions, recorded “fire talks”, nightly family dinners, co-created experiential events, and anything else the group decides to create.

Will there be an extension?

At every Experience House so far attendees have wanted to extend the experience (half of the attendees at XH1 didn’t want the month to end and stayed for a 2-week extension!) Given this, we’re facilitating a 1-week integration & decompression experience for those interested in an extra week of bonding and integration. Book a flexible ticket in the case you choose to extend your stay!

Are there scholarships available?

We strive to make Experience House accessible to amazing humans for whom pricing may be an obstacle. For that reason we’ve created a limited number of partial scholarships to support humans we’d like to bet on.

Filmmaker & Photographer’s Scholarship

Do you want an opportunity to make amazing content and work with our fantastic team? Mention this in your application!

Local’s Scholarship

We look for locals with a deep familiarity of the area and are able to open doors tourists don’t typically have access to. You know your way around and love to share that with others? We want you!

XH Artist Grant

Awarded to extraordinarily talented up-and-coming artists who wouldn’t otherwise be able to attend. The availability of this scholarship depends on the level of financial contribution we receive from alumni + other attendees.

Am I able to move freely in and out of the space?

Yes, you can leave and return freely during your time with us.

Do I need travel insurance to participate?

All attendees must have travel health insurance. We recommend World Nomads or Safety Wing. By joining our program you acknowledge that this is a requirement, and neglecting to do so waves us of any claims or liability.

What's the cancelation and refund policy?

A deposit is required to confirm your spot and is non-refundable
The remaining amount is due one month prior to the start of the program, and can be refunded up to 50% in the case of a cancellation.
