The Samita Lab Mastermind heads to an immersive in-person experience in Marrakech. You’ll revisit vision boards, fine-tune the remaining weeks of the year, and celebrate your achievements.

Take the time to relax, recharge and reconnect with your core being. If your brain is always on, you’re living in a heightened, unsustainable state.  

Richard Branson has his best ideas when he disconnects from his smartphone for days at a time. Author and businessman Tony Schwartz credits disconnecting with rediscovering a deeper part of himself.

And the research on relaxation is clear: Giving your brain a break actually results in increased creativity and productivity and a sharper memory.

You are responsible for flight and hotel. All activities on the ground in Morocco are covered by your Samita Lab fee.

Dates are Sept 21-26th NYC >>Casablanca
