Wabi Sabi Maroc

Welcome. I’m so glad you’re here.

​

I’m Sydney, the founder of Wabi Sabi Maroc, and my work lives at the intersection of philosophy, beauty, ethics, and the lived realities of modern life and business.

​

At heart, I've always trusted what feels lived-in over what feels finished - how we live with it, work with it, and sometimes learn to trust it. Long before I had language for wabi-sabi, I was drawn to the uniqueness of handcrafted objects, soft edges, layered histories, and spaces that felt deeply human rather than polished or performative.

​

That instinct eventually became both a personal compass and an academic one.

​

I hold a PhD in Conscious Business Ethics, where my doctoral research explored wabi-sabi as a metaphysical framework for ethical decision-making, particularly in solopreneurship, thought leadership, and value-driven work. In other words, this philosophy isn’t just aesthetic for me; it’s structural. It informs how I think, how I work, and how I help others navigate complexity with integrity.

​

My relationship with Morocco began as a journey and became a homecoming. The country’s devotion to craft, its reverence for age and patina, and its comfort with contrast — raw and refined, ornate and humble — gave living form to everything I had been studying and sensing for years. Morocco didn’t teach me wabi-sabi, but it transformed my interpretation of it by giving it texture, color, and soul. I share the story of my life-changing wabi-sabi journey in Morocco in this post, 

​

Wabi Sabi Maroc grew from that meeting place.

​

This is a space for women who are weary of rigid systems, perfection culture, and performative living, especially solopreneurs and creatives who crave a calmer, more humane way of working and being. Much of my writing is especially resonant for women navigating later-life transitions, neurodivergence, burnout, or a desire to build lives and businesses that feel sustainable rather than extractive.

​

Here, I write about:

​

• slow, intentional living

• beauty as a stabilizing force

• imperfection as wisdom

• home as sanctuary

• attention, energy, and care

• conscious entrepreneurship and ethical decision-making

• and the quiet practices that help us live inside our lives instead of constantly managing them
   

Think of this space as a place to exhale — a room where philosophy meets lived experience, and where beauty is allowed to be useful.

​

If you’re seeking permission to move more slowly, build more gently, and trust what is already unfolding — you’re in the right place.

With warmth,
