Summary

Please note: "This retreat is centered around inner connection, sisterhood, and conscious living. While yoga and meditation are an important part of the experience, they are completely optional – you’re welcome to join the journey in the way that feels right for you."

This is not a traditional yoga retreat – it’s a vibrant and empowering journey designed to reconnect you with nature, your inner strength, and a sense of joy and balance. Through healing practices, adventure, cultural exploration, and the energy of sisterhood, this retreat celebrates femininity in all its forms. Whether you join for movement, connection, or simple inspiration, you are warmly welcomed just as you are.

Retreat Itinerary – Marrakech & Essaouira Reconnect, Play, and Simply Be In our healing journeys, we often forget the importance of play, joy, and simply being. This retreat is a reminder to let go—not to work on yourself, not to strive, but to live, laugh, dance, and just be. All of this and more is waiting for you.

Destinations Marrakech is a vibrant feast for the senses. The historic Medina is a labyrinth of narrow alleys filled with colorful market stalls, aromatic spices, and charming local eateries. Whether you're in search of adventure, culture, or a touch of romance, Marrakech has it all—and it's the perfect setting for our retreat.

Essaouira, with its blue-and-white charm, offers a soothing contrast. Its laid-back vibe and spiritual energy invite deep relaxation. Stroll the calm streets, enjoy the sea breeze, and connect with the peaceful rhythm of this coastal gem. Retreat Pricing Triple Room: €1,380 per person Double Room: €1,550 per person
