Details

Have you ever wished for a sacred space to combine adventure and inspiration with healing and transformation? This 9-day Morocco retreat combines the culture and stunning landscapes of Morocco with rejuvenating movement and personal development. Our route starts in Marrakech, teeming with souks in the ancient medina. We then head across the Atlas Mountains and into the Sahara Desert, complete with a camel ride, oasis excursion, and music under the stars. En route back to Marrakech, we visit the UNESCO-protected village of Aït Ben Haddou and stop at Berber women’s textile co-op to learn about how their artisan craftsmanship shapes their community. Throughout the trip, you’ll have daily workshops with experienced Retreat Leader Kim Jeffs while gaining a deep understanding of traditions within the Moroccan way of life. Kim's toolbox of somatic practices and grounding techniques creates resiliency and growth to flourish and shine.

This retreat starts in Marrakech and ends in Tangier. 6 nights’ boutique hotel stay in a riad and kasbah style accommodations. 2 nights desert camping in permanent structure tents with real beds. Other cities/regions: Agdz, Erg Chegaga, Ourzazate Caveat on "my own room": You'll be paired with a roommate unless you request your own room. Note that during the two nights in the desert, all bookings will be double occupancy (paired by gender) due to the limited number of structured tents in our camp. You’ll be in clean, comfortable, and rustic Kasbah-style accommodations outside the city and on the way to the Sahara. In the desert, we’ll be in permanent structure tents with real beds (think: glamping!), complete with lighting but no other electricity, so bring a portable charger. There will be shared camping-style bathrooms with sinks, toilets, and showers. You’ll have extra warm bedding during the winter desert stays; you’ll be kept warm and cozy. The experience is rustic but also one of the most memorable ones you’ll have of the trip! Back in Marrakech, you’ll be in traditional-style riad guesthouses with a Moroccan central courtyard and flourishes (think: mosaics, tiles, fabrics, metal works) in the old city, or medina. The trickiest part about staying in the medina is that cars are not allowed inside the city walls, so be prepared to walk 5-10 minutes with your luggage to get to the hotel.

Testimonials

info

Combined with the experience of traveling through Morocco, this was a transformative journey for personal growth, reflection, and connection.

Lora, Italy

The flow and structure were very good, exceeding my expectations. I felt completely safe at all times and in good hands. We just adored our driver. They also had great attitudes and were totally accommodating. Adil is all that you'd want in a guide. I also loved the Berber Women's Co-op. Three of the four in my group bought several rugs! I loved learning how they were made, what different symbols meant, and knowing the time and effort that went into them.
