Let yourself be held by yoga, meditation, and beauty in one of the world’s most vibrant corners.
This retreat is a soft journey inward—an invitation to come back to yourself while surrounded by the rich textures, spices, and colours of Marrakesh.
We’ll weave together slow, grounding yoga practices with moments of silence, nourishing food, deep rest, and connection. There will be time to move, to be still, to wander, and to simply breathe. This is a retreat where you can listen closely to what your body and soul are asking for.
Our home for the week is a peaceful, magnificent riad with views of the Atlas mountains—a place of warmth and calm, where the sound of birds greets you at sunrise and the scent of spices lingers in the air. Each detail is curated with care: from the nourishing homemade meals to the intimate group setting that invites connection and ease.
To deepen your experience of this beautiful land, we’ll also venture out together: we’ll visit the lively old medina of Marrakesh, hike through the majestic Atlas mountains and get to know some local berber villages.
This will be our last retreat of 2025, and it holds something quietly special. A chance to close the year with presence and grace. To land in yourself before the next chapter begins.
The Venue
Just outside Marrakesh, at the edge of the Atlas Mountains, there is a quiet oasis where time slows down.
Between olive groves, clay paths, and fragrant gardens, everything invites rest and simplicity. The architecture blends with the land—natural tones, open courtyards, shaded terraces—creating an atmosphere that is both grounding and expansive.
Each room is unique, calm, and carefully designed to offer comfort without excess. We’ll practice in an open, peaceful shala surrounded by nature, and spend time outdoors—in silence, in movement, or simply being.
Meals are vegetarian, local, and prepared with care by an expert Moroccan chef: colourful, nourishing, and full of flavour. Much of what we eat comes from the garden itself or nearby producers.
You’ll also have time to enjoy the outdoor pool, traditional hammam, and restorative argan oil massages. This is a true invitation to slow down and care for your body.
There is wifi access in the reception area, but not in the rooms—something that often helps guests disconnect from their phones and reconnect more deeply with the natural surroundings.
A space to breathe, slow down, and reconnect with what truly matters. A pause in the warmth of Morocco, between earth, light, and stillness.
How to get there
Most major European cities offer direct flights to Marrakesh.
The retreat center is located approximately 50 minutes from the airport, and round-trip transportation is included in the price of the retreat to make your arrival and departure as smooth as possible.
Just send us your flight details, and a member of the retreat center staff will be waiting to welcome you at Marrakesh Airport.
We recommend booking a flight that arrives before 3:00 PM on November 1 and departs after 2:30 PM on November 7, to align comfortably with the retreat schedule.
Check-in for rooms begins at 4:00 PM, and check-out is at 11:00 AM. If you arrive earlier or leave later, you’re welcome to rest or have lunch at the retreat center while you wait.
When planning your trip, please consider the start and end times of the retreat program so you can be fully present for the welcome ceremony and the closing circle—we’d truly appreciate it!
