Mystical Morocco Retreat: A Journey of Beauty, Sisterhood & Soul

Day 1
Arrival in Marrakech | Welcome and opening Circle


Your journey begins the moment you arrive in Marrakech. From the airport, you’ll be warmly greeted and transported to our serene riad or private villa, where you can settle in, unpack, and gently arrive into the rhythm of Morocco.
This first day is intentionally spacious. There is no rushing, just time to land, rest, shower, and take in your surroundings. You may choose to relax by the pool, sip mint tea, or simply enjoy a quiet moment to yourself after travel.

As evening approaches, we gather for a welcome dinner featuring nourishing Moroccan cuisine, aromatic spices, and soothing herbal teas. This shared meal is our first taste of the culture, warm, flavorful, and deeply comforting.

We come together for an opening circle. This is a gentle, grounding space to connect in sisterhood, set intentions for the journey, and begin weaving the energy of the group.

This first night is about feeling safe, welcomed, and held, knowing you’ve arrived exactly where you’re meant to be.

Day 2
Exploring the Medina & Moroccan Beauty Rituals

We begin the day immersed in the magic of the historic Marrakech Medina with a local guide. Wandering vibrant souks, ancient alleyways, and hidden corners filled with color, scent, and life. This is a exploration, guided and supported, allowing you to experience the heart of the city in a way that feels easeful and enriching.
As part of our time in the Medina, you’ll also learn about Moroccan market culture, including how to browse, ask questions, and bargain in a relaxed, respectful, and playful way. You’ll be shown how locals engage in this age-old exchange so you can shop with curiosity and confidence, rather than pressure.

In the afternoon, you’ll be introduced to Moroccan beauty rituals and natural healing traditions passed down through generations. You’ll learn about sacred ingredients such as argan oil, herbs, clays, and botanical infusions, and how they’ve long been used by Moroccan women as rituals of care, protection, and radiance.

These practices are rooted in the belief that beauty is not just something you apply, it is something you cultivate from within.
This day invites you to reconnect with self-care as a sacred, nourishing practice that supports both outer glow and inner harmony.

This day is about connection to culture, to beauty, and to your own confidence, exploring, learning, and enjoying at a pace that feels grounded and joyful.

Day 3
Hammam Ritual & Sacred Beauty Workshop
After breakfast, we travel to a nearby village to experience a traditional Moroccan hammam a centuries-old ritual of purification, rest, and renewal.
The hammam is more than a spa treatment; it is a sacred cleansing ceremony deeply rooted in Moroccan culture. Through warm steam, exfoliation, and rhythmic care, the body is softened, toxins are released, and the nervous system naturally unwinds. This ritual supports circulation, skin renewal, and deep relaxation leaving you feeling lighter, clearer, and refreshed.

We gather for a Sacred Beauty Ritual Workshop, where you’ll be guided to create your own custom face and body treatments using natural, time honored ingredients. You’ll learn how Moroccan women have used beauty as a form of healing, self-care, and devotion tending not only to the skin, but to the spirit within.

A nourishing lunch is included, followed by spacious time to rest, integrate, journal, or simply be. You may choose to relax poolside, wander through the surrounding village, or enjoy quiet moments in nature as your body and energy settle.

This day is about softness, care, and allowing yourself to fully receive, without rushing, without expectation. You'll leave feeling cleansed, radiant and deeply nurtured inside and out.

Day 4
Journey Into the Desert Gateway to the Sahara
Today, we leave the sun kissed city of Marrakech and begin our journey into the vast, mystical landscapes leading toward the Great Sahara.

As we travel, the scenery slowly shifts, mountains, open roads, and ancient lands unfolding before us. Our first stop is Ouarzazate, often called the gateway to the desert, where history, cinema, and desert culture meet.

We then visit Ait Benhaddou, a breathtaking UNESCO World Heritage site and ancient fortified village. This sacred place has stood for centuries, holding the stories of caravans, nomads, and travelers who once crossed these lands. You’ll have time to explore, take photos, and feel the quiet power of this timeless place.

As the day softens, we arrive at our desert lodge in Skoura, nestled among palm groves and oasis energy. The pace slows here. The air feels different, calmer, quieter, expansive.

Day 5
Sahara Magic | Camel Ride & Gnawa Music

After breakfast, we begin the day by exploring a nearby desert oasis, where lush greenery offer a gentle contrast to the vast Sahara ahead. This time allows the body and nervous system to soften, preparing us for the depth and magic of the desert.
In the late afternoon, we arrive at the moment many have been waiting for, entering the Sahara Desert. We embark on a sunset camel ride across the golden dunes, moving slowly and rhythmically with the land. As the sun lowers, the desert glows in soft shades of gold, rose, and amber. Time feels suspended. This is one of those moments that stays with you forever.

As night falls, we gather at our luxury desert camp beneath a sky filled with stars. Dinner is shared around the fire, warm and nourishing, followed by an evening of traditional Gnawa music.

Gnawa music is an ancient ceremonial rhythm known for its trance-like, heart-opening experience. The steady drums, chanting, and movement invite deep grounding, release, and joy. Some may feel called to sway, dance, laugh, or simply sit by the fire and receive the rhythm. It is both healing and celebratory, a reminder that joy itself is medicine.

Day 6
Sunrise Ceremony, Nomadic Life & Somatic Circle

We rise early to greet the day with a sunrise ceremony on the dunes where breath, movement, and body awareness invite deeper embodiment. This practice is designed to feel safe, grounding, and intuitive, helping you reconnect with your body, release stored tension, and ignite your inner fire in a way that feels natural and supported.
Later, we journey by 4x4 to experience nomadic Berber life, spending time learning about desert traditions, ancestral wisdom, and ways of living that honor simplicity, resilience, and a deep connection to nature. This cultural exchange is both humbling and enriching offering insight into a way of life guided by rhythm, land, and community.

As evening approaches, we return to the dunes to witness another breathtaking Sahara sunset, allowing the experiences of the day to gently settle and integrate.

Day 7
Return to Marrakech | Integration & Rest


Today, we begin our journey back to Marrakech, traveling through the breathtaking Atlas Mountains. Along the way, we make several scenic stops, moments to stretch, take photos, enjoy the views, and simply breathe in the beauty of the land.
We arrive in Marrakech in the late afternoon, where the remainder of the day is intentionally free and spacious. You may choose to rest at the riad, journal, receive a massage, explore nearby cafés, or enjoy quiet time integrating the journey.

This day offers a gentle return from the vast stillness of the desert back into the rhythm of the city with plenty of room to rest, recalibrate, and land softly.

Day 8
Moroccan Cooking Class & Farewell Dinner

After breakfast, we join a Moroccan cooking class in a local family home, where you’ll learn to prepare traditional dishes with love and intention. You’ll also discover the healing magic of Moroccan teas how herbs, spices, and ritual are woven into everyday nourishment. This experience offers an intimate glimpse into local life, hospitality, and the beauty of gathering around food.
We also share a henna ceremony a sacred and celebratory tradition symbolizing beauty, blessings, and transition. Henna marks this moment as a rite of passage, honoring the journey you’ve walked and the woman you’re returning home as.

Following the class, enjoy free time to shop in the Medina, wander at your own pace, relax at the riad, or enjoy spa time if you wish. This space allows you to savor your final moments in Marrakech in whatever way feels best for you.

As evening arrives, we prepare for a celebration night. We gather for a farewell dinner in the New Medina, possibly at a traditional Moroccan restaurant filled with music, movement, and joy. There may be belly dancing, laughter, and a lively atmosphere.
