6 Days of Yoga and Local Soul: The Essence Retreat in Morocco

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.

Imlil is a sacred Amazigh (Berber) village nestled in the High Atlas Mountains, where the spirit of nature and tradition meet. Surrounded by breathtaking peaks and pure mountain air, Imlil offers a peaceful space for reflection, connection, and deep inner healing during your retreat journey.

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.
