A retreat for women
Tamraght Morocco
February 16-22, 2025
Tamraght is a quaint surf village nestled on the mid-west coast of Morocco. Where the hills of the Taghazout region blend into the desert and ocean. This destination offers consistent, year-round beach weather, great surfing, culinary delights, and a warm introduction to the rich culture of the Moroccan people.
We are grateful to offer this retreat in this magical, slow-paced, and grounding place with an energy that whispers, all those who wander are not lost.
Let’s meet in the space between
You feel the pull towards another path, a longing for something different. Whether this looks like the ending of a relationship, a career shift, or a general life transition. You find yourself at the cusp of a new beginning. There’s an unsettled tension that exists within you.
The fear and anxiety of uncertainty dancing alongside the glimmer of hope. The next step is unclear, and you feel overwhelmed by the leap and distance it will take to get there. Or perhaps, you’ve taken the next step. And another, and have found yourself redirected again and again. Meeting resistance along the way. Summiting peaks and hitting a plateau.
Let’s clear the slate, reconnect with the very essence of what brings you joy, find clarity, and access states of flow and magnetism.
Let’s meet in the space between. The space separating your current reality and the future you dream of.

Recharge under the Moroccan sun, find peace among the waves, traverse amidst a desert oasis in the Atlas Mountains, move your body, and connect over nourishing meals and soulful conversations.

Somatic Breathwork is an active breathing process, that brings conscious awareness to limiting beliefs, and maladaptive behaviors that distract us from living life on our terms. Using the breath as an anchor, we give space to recognize, understand, and process the unconscious parts of us in order to heal and release what no longer serves us.
We then down-regulate the nervous system and rewire neural pathways to reconnect with clarity, purpose, and access new states of vitality.
