Our Story
How Sunrise Senegal began…
For Maureen, it all started in 2014—with a deep longing to guide people toward the best version of themselves. For years, she worked with individuals, listening, reflecting, and creating space for growth. And quietly, a dream lived on: to host gatherings abroad—in a place where everything just feels right.
Her heart fell in love with Africa in 2016. The vibe, the roots, the raw purity.
And then in 2025, everything came together. Because everything is energy —what you radiate, will find you. That’s how she met Saikou. Very quickly, they discovered: we share the same dream. Two people, one vision.
Driven by passion, united by a shared desire to meet and guide others seeking depth, wisdom, and culture.
