Details

New Year's Eve in Marrakech, built differently. This is for anyone coming out of a year that was genuinely hard — not just tired, but depleted — who wants more than rest. Six days of daily yoga and sound healing in Morocco to help you actually land back in your body, and real tools to learn how to navigate stress and exhaustion long after the retreat ends, not just switch off from them for a week. It's also for anyone who's lost their spark and wants it back. Evenings unfold slowly around the fire, and the week is built around guided excursions designed to spark something — the Ourika Valley, the Marrakesh medina, and on New Year's Eve, a guided sound healing and intention-setting ritual under the open sky of the Agafay Desert as the year turns. The pace is gentle and spacious by design, with room for both adventure and rest — every excursion is optional. Most guests come on their own, and this is exactly the kind of group where that works: no one here is performing wellness, everyone's just trying to feel something real and find their way back to themselves before the year turns. You'll leave with practical tools like breathwork and other, grounding practices, for navigating whatever the next year brings, and connection with people who crossed into it for the same reason you did.

Location

Marrakesh, Morocco

Marrakesh is a vibrant city in Morocco known for its historic medina, colorful souks, traditional riads, gardens, and distinctive architecture. Set against the backdrop of the Atlas Mountains, the city blends lively markets and cultural landmarks with peaceful courtyards, hammams, and tranquil resort areas. Its warm climate, rich heritage, and mix of energetic city life and relaxing wellness spaces make Marrakesh a popular destination for cultural, yoga, and wellbeing retreats.

Your home for the week is Fawakay Villas, an luxurious eco complex of nomad-chic style villas tucked into a secluded green sanctuary just outside Marrakech. It's only 15 minutes from the city centre, yet far enough from the hustle and bustle to feel like another world: quiet mornings, open sky and space to slow down. Between practices, the space is yours to enjoy: two swimming pools, a spa with a bio sauna and hammam, and a dedicated practice space for yoga and sound healing. Every room has its own en-suite bathroom with a bathtub, and there is wifi throughout for when you need it.

Meals

Meals provided

Brunch · Dinner

Diets catered

Organic · Halal · Kosher · Vegetarian

You'll be nourished with organic Moroccan cuisine and all its famous flavours: slow-cooked tagines, fluffy couscous, fresh seasonal salads and msemen, the soft, flaky Moroccan pancakes served warm with honey at breakfast. Meals are freshly prepared and shared around one table, the Moroccan way. Moroccan food is naturally kind to your body. Dishes are cooked slowly and gently, which makes them easy to digest. Warming spices such as cumin, ginger, turmeric and cinnamon have been used for generations to support digestion, while vegetables, pulses, olives and olive oil bring plenty of fibre and healthy fats to keep your gut happy. Mint tea after a meal does the rest. It is food that leaves you feeling light, grounded and full of energy for practice, rather than heavy and sleepy. Meat is a foundation of Moroccan cuisine, so most meals will include it. Vegetarian options are available at every meal, and vegan meals can be arranged upon request. Just let us know your dietary needs when you book.

Schedule

From the very first evening, a restorative practice and a sound bath help you leave the outside world behind and truly arrive. Each day balances movement, stillness and exploration. Mornings begin with energising yoga to wake up the body. Evenings are for slow, grounding flows and deep sound journeys. Sound is the heart of this retreat. Gongs, crystal bowls and live instruments, played by me and guest gong master Alex, create soundscapes that help the body soften and the mind go quiet. Throughout the week we work with one intention: let go of what no longer serves you and make space for what your heart truly desires. Between practices, there's time to enjoy the spa-like villa with mountain views, rest in the sun, or simply do nothing. Meals are freshly prepared, nourishing Moroccan cuisine. Beyond the villa, you'll explore Marrakech with a Marrakech-born guide, walk the trails of the Atlas Mountains, and enjoy a full spa day with a traditional hammam. On New Year's Eve, we close the year in the Agafay Desert with a sunset ceremony, dinner and a show under the open sky. You'll leave rested, clearer, and with a real sense of what you want your new year to hold.

Testimonials

info

I have now attended two yoga retreats with Gosia, and I can wholeheartedly recommend the experience to anyone considering joining her. Gosia has a truly special gift for bringing people together and creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere where everyone feels seen and included. She is attentive, caring, and incredibly thoughtful, always making sure each participant feels comfortable and supported throughout the retreat. Beyond being a wonderful yoga teacher, she brings such a positive, sunny energy that it is impossible not to feel uplifted in her presence. Every detail is carefully considered, allowing you to fully relax, reconnect with yourself, and enjoy the experience. Both retreats were beautiful, enriching experiences. If you have the opportunity to join one of Gosia’s retreats, don't hesitate, you will be in very good hands.

Veronique, Switzeland

Gosia is an amazing person, a wonderful yoga teacher, and a master of sound therapy. I had the great pleasure of participating in a multi-day retreat in a beautiful location in Tenerife, practicing yoga daily in an intimate setting, in a beautiful shala, and surrounded by stunning natural surroundings. A luxury for body and soul 🫶 …

Asia, Poland

I just returned from a 5-day yoga retreat with Gosia from Nadaflow, and I’m still vibrating with all the wonderful feminine energy we shared! It was a truly beautiful experience. The highlight for me was definitely the sound healing sessions with Tibetan bowls – it was absolutely enchanting. I also fell in love with Vinyasa (Biniasz) with Gosia; she is a fantastic teacher. I felt amazing after every session and found myself looking forward to them every single day. This retreat allowed me to fully recharge my batteries. I finally learned how to truly feel my body and, more importantly, how to disconnect from the outside world and just be. I highly, highly recommend it to anyone looking for peace and renewal. It was simply beautiful!

Natalia, Poland

I recently had the pleasure of attending a retreat with Gosia. She is truly a beam of sunshine. Gosia has very warm and positive energy and this transfers into her beautifully sequenced yoga classes. There’s a perfect balance of strength and ease and the dreamy sound baths she guides feels like the cherry on top! I would highly recommend attending a retreat with Gosia. I feel inspired and reset after 5 nights away. Thank you Gosia xxxx

Naoise, Ireland

I recently returned from a 6 day yoga and hiking retreat in Tenerife. Gosia was leading the retreat and our yoga teacher. Gosia is a wonderful inspiring person and excellent yoga teacher. I loved the experience! Gosia also provided an evening sound bath/healing session which was incredible. Thank you Gosia 🥰

Grace, Ireland

Gosia, where do I even start? ☺️ Gosia is very talented, got a great guiding (and singing) voice and she understands how to create connections. I’ve got to meet Gosia during her Yoga, Hike & Sound Bath retreat in Tenerife in January 2026. Her ability to guide you through strong and sweaty flows as well as quiet meditative parts of your practice is just simply amazing. The sound bath journeys I‘ve had with her were magical. I highly recommend her ❤️

Nadja, Germany

I would like to thank Gosia for leading a really lovely retreat which I have just attended in Morocco. She planned everything so well & there was a lovely balance of daily yoga & activities & beautiful restorative yin yoga & healing sound baths in the evenings. Gosia is a very talented, creative & generous person & she was very supportive to everyone. This retreat was such fun & I know that I will feel the benefits for a long time. Thank you Gosia 💗

Britta, Germany

I had the pleasure to be a part of this yoga practice during a retreat in Tenerife. It was a very mindful experience where the yoga included both strength and slow flows - with a theme of all the elements. I couldn’t recommend it enough and I’m so thankful for the experience 🙏🏼 …

Kornelja, Germany

This is more than 5 stars, Gosia is such a great yoga teacher and I absolutely loved meeting her on her retreat. Everything was amazing, very well thought out and made me feel supported and safe the whole time.
