Location

Marrakesh-Safi, Morocco

Marrakesh-Safi is a vibrant region in Morocco known for its rich cultural heritage, stunning landscapes, and bustling urban centers. At its heart is Marrakesh, a city famed for its historic medina, where winding alleyways lead to bustling souks filled with spices, textiles, and traditional crafts. The city's architectural marvels, such as the Koutoubia Mosque and Bahia Palace, offer a glimpse into its storied past. Marrakesh is also home to the lively Djemaa el-Fna square, a UNESCO World Heritage site that comes alive with performers, food stalls, and artisans. Beyond Marrakesh, the region extends to the Atlantic coast with the city of Safi, known for its pottery and fishing port. The surrounding landscapes range from the majestic Atlas Mountains, ideal for trekking and exploring Berber villages, to the serene beaches along the coast. The region's cuisine is a highlight, featuring flavorful tagines, couscous, and fresh seafood. With its blend of history, culture, and natural beauty, Marrakesh-Safi offers a captivating experience for travelers seeking both adventure and relaxation in Morocco.

Schedule

We don’t follow a rigid retreat schedule — we follow you. Your body. Your nervous system. Your unfolding. Each day begins slowly, with quiet mornings and nourishing food. We move with intention but without rush, letting the energy of the group guide the flow. Throughout the day, we weave in a mix of modalities to support deep regulation and transformation: - Somatic movement and breathwork to ground and awaken the body - Guided meditations to soften the mind and access subconscious shifts - Embodiment practices to return to presence and truth - EMDR, hypnotherapy, and parts work to bring clarity and healing to old patterns - Energy work and rest to integrate what's moving - Water therapy, optional, to explore play and trust in the unknown. There is space for group processing and time for solitude. A time to laugh, cry, and exhale. Time to be witnessed. Time to simply be. Evenings are spacious — sometimes shared in circle, sometimes in stillness. You are always invited, never required. This isn’t about performing your healing. It’s about remembering your rhythm — and letting it lead.

Testimonials

info

Loes and Hanna create such a special container that emanates belonging, authenticity, care and deep attunement. I appreciate ease, laughter and play being incorporated into their transformational method. In a world that can feel harsh, rigid and masculine, the warmth and gentle nature of their hearts melt walls and dissolve stories, creating deeper connection and trust to yourself and others. My nervous system craves more RYMEing!

A profound transformation that changed my life. It’s hard to put into words how grateful I am for the retreat I experienced. What started as a search for more calm and balance unfolded into one of the most profound and life-changing experiences I’ve ever had. Hanna, Loes and the incredible women on this retreat have created a magical space where I felt safe and supported. The gifts of both Hanna and Loes are indescribable; they intuitively know what you need and guide you with so much love and wisdom through your process. What I experienced during the retreat touched deep layers within me that I didn’t even know existed. I’m still in the midst of the transformation that has been set in motion, and every day I feel how I’m connecting more deeply with myself. For the first time, I’m beginning to understand what it means to be comfortable with being alone, without needing approval from others. The insights and experiences I’ve gained here continue to resonate and give me the strength to stand more fully in my own space and make choices that truly come from within. This retreat brought me closer not only to myself but also to a life that flows more truly. I am immensely grateful for everything Hanna and Loes have shared with me. Their guidance has opened me in ways I’ve never experienced before, and I’m certain this transformation will last.

Where do I begin. The RYME Duo, Hanna and Loes have changed my life for the absolute better. And there’s no end to that. It began with signing up and showing up in Portugal for my first (7 day) retreat. I came into it moving fast, anxious, not breathing, not taking the time to breathe and move and be and reflect in the ways that I know I thrive. By day two Hanna looked at me and said, “you look different”. That’s when I knew I was back to the most real me. It doesn’t take long to get there when you are in the environment and space that only Hanna and Loes can create. Hanna with body movement and breath work, and Loes with mind and soul work are pure magic. Don’t expect this to be like any other retreat you’ve been on. You are going to do DEEP WORK. And it’s going to WORK for you. I also went in feeling very alone in life and left and continue to have a community and friends for life from these experiences. Six months later I was on my second (3 day) retreat. I continue to listen to the “Let’s RYME baby” podcasts and “RYME Trust Recordings” to stay inspired and grounded. I feel calm and happy in my heart and soul to have Hanna & Loes guide me with full trust. (which did not come easily before meeting them) Take the leap! Or the baby step.
