A retreat dedicated to ADD/ADHD and hypersensitive people
Imagine the calm, the terrace, the deckchairs, the view of the sea...
Imagine having time for yourself, without obligations, outside of the usual context. In a quiet, privatized place, nestled among a few other houses, near a spring and small waterfalls, you will be able to soothe your restless mind and let your system rest, but also go for a run on the beach or go surfing if you want to.
This retreat is dedicated to you if you have ADD/ADHD and/or are hypersensitive (with or without a diagnosis) and feel the need to escape the usual chaos and refocus. Here, you can be surrounded by others with whom you can share what you feel, how you feel, and more generally, your experiences as a neurodivergent human being.
About us:
Didier Picamoles, 54, ADHD and hypersensitive, medium, is the initiator and organizer of this project in response to a lack of resources for ADHD and hypersensitive adults who are too often marginalized in a uniform and disconnected society. Through his life experience and his ability to sense energies and 'connect' to the invisible world, he guides men and women on their journey. His presence allows him to welcome what is and to create a safe space.
Leslie Taverney, 36, coach and therapist, is curious and loves exploring human nature through existential questions. She sees the potential for a fulfilled and coherent person in everyone, and her approach is integrative, taking into account the multiple dimensions of the human being. Her extensive training in hypnosis, coaching, and meditation enables her to provide professional support while being sensitive.

We'll take a break en route for some Moroccan food. Arrival at our 'cocoon' is scheduled for late afternoon.
We'll have time to settle into our rooms and get to know the place before meeting up again before dinner to get to know each other quickly and complete a few formalities before dinner.
This 1st day in Morocco will come to a peaceful close and everyone will be able to let off steam, spend some time on the terrace, get some rest or walk ut to the beach.
Day 2, Saturday 09.11.24
We start the day with a bit of exercise on the terrace to get the body moving.
After breakfast, we'll get to know each other a little better in a circle to establish a bond of trust between us, which is so important for people with ADD/ADHD.
We'll prepare a time-line together. Everyone will be photographed at the start of the retreat... and again at the end :)
This is beautiful way to see yourself transformed after a week in another “world”
The afternoon will be free-flowing, leaving plenty of time for socialising, walking around the hamlet, going to Sidi Kaouki and surf if possible (extra cost) or just enjoy the beach groove.
Day 3, Sunday 10.11.24
We start the day with a bit of exercise on the terrace to get the body moving.
We'll devote the morning to the subject that links us all: ADD/ADHD and Hypersensitivity
Who does what and how best to manage it, with what help.
What reading is advisable, which group or association, etc.
We will open the discussion and share what we normally may not want to or can with others.
The afternoon will be free.... and you will have a small task ;)
Day 4, Monday 11.11.24
We start the day with a bit of exercise on the terrace to get the body moving.
The morning will be devoted to shaping a day of co-creation, exchange and interaction.
Everyone's talents will be brought to the fore if wished :)
The aim here is to allow talented people who find it hard to show themselves to dare to propose something in a safe environment.
You will have the opportunity to prepare yourself for an "open stage." ADD/ADHD individuals are creative, so you'll be able to let your creativity flow and create a sketch, a story, a painting, a drawing, some music—whatever comes to mind
