When did you last explore a completely different culture?

Revel in the new scents, tastes, sights, sounds? Allow your senses to feast, taking over your experience?

Generations of travelers have been fascinated by the North African culture of Morocco. Soon, you'll have a chance to explore this safe and fascinating country with like-minded explorers.

 

Explore the famed medina, the centuries-old hub of the city of marrakech.

The smells alone could hold your attention for days. As you soak it all in – colors, sounds, smells – you'll also experience the welcoming hospitality of the locals, who are delighted to share their fascinating culture with visitors. We'll have a local guide, who can show us the secrets that most travelers miss.

Eating in the medina will be an unforgettable experience. If you're so inclined, you're sure to find treasures to take home, which you'll treasure for a lifetime as reminders of the time you spent in this jewel of a place.

Around the medina, we'll explore the architecture of the area. Intricately tiled and beautiful, each building is a work of art.

ENJOY YOUR STAY IN AN AWARD-WINNING ARTISANAL RETREAT CENTER LOCATED IN A TRANQUIL AND BEAUTIFUL AREA.

We'll be staying at Peacock Pavilions, a lovely and intimate retreat center located in an olive grove outside of Marrakech. This family-run space will allow us to provide the perfect balance of tranquility and adventure. Beautifully designed in true Moroccan style, this award-winning space has been featured in dozens of travel magazines and shows.

Morocco offers a feast for the senses, and you want to dive in. From the intricate tiled patterns of the architecture, to the abundance of smells in the medina, you're ready for a truly exotic sensory adventure. Sharing it with like-minded explorers will enhance and elevate the experience, as you make new friendships that you'll keep for life.

experience the best of what morocco has to offer.

We'll also explore beyond the medina. We'll spend a day in the famed Atlas Mountains, enjoying the beauty and scenery. We'll have a Moroccan cooking class, so you can go home with the ability to recreate some of that incredible food! We'll have a henna party with a local Moroccan henna artist. Henna is a plant-based substance used to create temporary designs on the skin – getting henna designs will be optional, though highly recommended! We'll enjoy a Moroccan-themed dinner party with belly dancers and flamenco guitarists. So many incredible experiences await you!

Balance all of these new experiences with exploration of your inner world.

When you feel completely filled up with all of these sensory impressions, you'll have a break for some mint tea out on the terrace. We'll allow plenty of time for soaking in and integrating all of the adventures. Whether you choose to do that through journaling, having a massage, talking with your new best friends, or just sitting quietly, you'll have plenty of opportunity to find balance.

With all that's going on, your creativity will be stirred. Explore all that's flowing through your heart with daily yoga and meditation. You'll also take part in intuitive art practices, led by Nicole, who is a master of unlocking the creativity inherent in every person. You don't have to become a master artist (although, if you want to do that, Nicole can certainly help!). You'll find that expressing yourself creatively helps you to discover hidden worlds within yourself.

Imagine enjoying your breakfast on an outdoor terrace, gazing out at the Atlas Mountains, while surrounded by hundreds of rose bushes. Imagine gazing up at an intricately patterned ceiling as you drift off to sleep in your comfortable bed.
