artistry in leather: a journey of craftsmanship, creativity and inspiration
by Naila Charkoui from Oumaäti
Step into the world of leather crafting in this exclusive creative session workshop. Participants will explore the elegance of leather, to create their own personalized leather keep-sake.
Led by Oumaäti's co-founder Naila, this engaging session invites participants to uncover the secrets of leather's art, and discover the enchantment woven within this exceptional material. The session introduces participants to the allure of leather: a timeless material that resonates with elegance and heritage. It offers a hands-on experience with leather, merging traditional craftsmanship with modern design techniques to create a leather keep-sake.
naiive art: painting
by Rawan Salama
Let’s free our hands and minds from all known restrictions and logic. In this creative session, participants will embark on a journey of self-expression through painting, embracing spontaneity and intuition. Whether using bold strokes or intricate details, this experience encourages letting go of control and allowing emotions to flow freely. Through this transformative process, participants will discover new ways to communicate, create, and connect with their inner creativity.
solar blueprints: cyanotype photography
by Sally Ghaly
This creative session allows participants to explore the art of cyanotype, an early photographic technique that uses sunlight to create stunning blueprints. Participants will learn to compose and develop images using natural objects and stencils, all exposed to sunlight and transformed into vibrant, one-of-a-kind prints.
beyond the frame: an artistic exploration of contemporary morocco
The session offers participants a unique opportunity to explore the contemporary art scene of Morocco. This interactive experience offers a tour through JAJJAH, a dynamic gallery & tea house owned by renowned Moroccan artist Hassan Hajjaj, and an interactive discussion over Moroccan cuisine. Participants will intimately explore the amalgamation of tradition and modernity in Moroccan art, providing them with an understanding of the local art scene and its global significance.
safe & sound: the harmony of music and flow, a transformative writing session
Discover the magic that happens when melody meets the written word. In this session, participants will explore the deep connection between music and flow writing—a practice that invites creativity, intuition, and self-discovery. Music has the power to bypass our busy minds, helping us tune into our thoughts and emotions on a deeper level. By pairing music with free-flow writing, participants let the rhythm guide, unlocking ideas and insights that might otherwise stay hidden.
This isn’t about perfection—it’s about presence. Together, we’ll create a safe space to let go of judgment and simply write, inspired by the melodies around us.

The ceremony is crafted to weave threads of connection, serenity, and gratitude. A meditation guide participants to a tranquil center, grounding them in the present moment. Within this sacred space, participants are gently urged to articulate their gratitude through both written and spoken word. It's a multifaceted journey—one that resonates with the introspective chords of the individual soul and the collective heartbeat of the community.
