The Moroccan Muse Retreat

MARRAKECH
MARCH 5th -10th / 6 Days & 5 Nights

Limited to just a small group of women looking for more in the way they travel and the way they create. Women looking for possibility, adventure, fun and experiences that will contribute to an extraordinary life.

I invite you to step outside your comfort zone and over-scheduled life to a retreat filled with possibility and creative activities that will help you discover the feelings that live inside you waiting to be shared. Come create memories, not to do lists, and experience a city shrouded in mystery and magic with an abundance of art, culture, food, color, creativity and inspiration.

THIS IS PERFECT FOR YOU IF…….
You love creativity, culture, and are curious. We will have intriguing activities, visit local artisans and shops that aren't found on the typical tourist maps, visit museums, the medina and other areas that are culturally interesting. You may experience things you have never done before like ride a camel in the desert (no promises) or get a traditional hamman! The group will be limited to ten women because I love the intimacy of a small group so that we can share in deep meaningful conversations and a community of friendship.

Morocco is one of the most beautiful and fascinating places I've ever been and I can't wait to share it with people who appreciate travel and discovery as much as I do.
