Rise Women’s Retreat
Morocco
1-8 March 2025
“Rise out of winter with this nourishing retreat in magical Morocco.”
Winter can test the best of us: short days, long nights, cold, dreary weather.
So give yourself the ultimate gift: of time, of space, of self-care. A glimmer at the end of the wintery tunnel, a reprieve from the season.
Just imagine the feeling of warm sunlight on your skin.
This is an invitation to join us for this magical retreat to Morocco.
“Do you struggle with winter?
Do you get fed up of the daily grind?
Meal planning, same in + out routine.
Limited time to yourself? ”
Then this retreat is for you
Why Morocco?
Because it’s magical. It has the most beautiful glow of sunlight. Everywhere is colourful. There’s the sea and mountains colliding. The food is delicious. The people are wonderful.
It’s where my soul feels at home.
Why Women only?
Something special can happen when women gather. The atmosphere can change: edges soften, competition ceases & judgements drop.
Deep connection, community and acceptance develop.
This is why the Rise Retreat will be a space for women.
“The feeling of community and how safe the space felt: I felt like I could be myself without being judged and there was absolutely no pressure to take part in any aspect of the week that you didn’t want to.”
The Location
For the third year running we’re returning to the same beautiful villa on the Atlantic coast. Stylish & comfortable it strikes the balance perfectly: it looks great & you feel fine lounging on the sofas. Rooftop yoga shala, private plunge pool, beachfront, mountain-backdrop there’s nothing that could be added to make this more suitable for a retreat (there’s even wifi).
You’ll spend a week tending to yourself. No worries of what to cook, who needs what or when does your shift start. For this week you’ll be the one that’s being cared for.
All meals are freshly prepared and lovingly created by our private chef & their team. Vegetarian. Nutritious. Seasonal. Balanced. Pretty much all dietary requirements can be catered for (we haven’t encountered one yet that couldn’t be) and you’ll be smiling at every meal.
“I was surprised by just how comfortable I felt, it felt almost like “coming home” ”
THE YOGA
I’ll lead twice daily yoga practices in the roof top Shala. Typically these will be energising in the morning and more calming in the evening. You can expect Katonah yoga, vinyasa flow and restorative yoga without fail and influences from fascia flossing, 4beat, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Five Element Theory, somatic, embodied and yin yoga. My classes are aligned with natural rhythms, be that the seasons, moon cycle or astrology so that it develops our connection with both nature and ourself, ultimately aiding our rewilding.
Practices will cater to different abilities through variations and modifications, giving the chance to challenge yourself or go easy. Throughout the week there will also be a couple of workshops to dive deeper into theory and breakdown poses.
“The yoga was my absolute favourite part.
Getting to practice everyday with Lucy in that setting was just incredible. Due to geography I have never been able to practice with Lucy in person. She is the most incredible teacher.
The entire week had been considered and the attention to detail was just AMAZING!”
TREATMENT
A 30min welcome treatment is included and will be provided by my wonderful friend Laura, a talented and intuitive therapist. This can be body-work or reiki and should you like further treatment/s during the week these can be arranged.
EXCURSIONS
Also included within the week are 2 trips: to Agadir souk - to show you this bustling city & enable you to stock up on Moroccan wares - and to Taghazout - the neighbouring village that was once a traditional fishing village and is now a worldwide surfing destination.
There is also the chance to book additional experiences: surf coaching for example at your own expense.
