The experience

the experience, Morocco

Each person has a unique experience on a retreat but there is a certain rhythm to the journey which begins as soon as you arrive at Zamzam Riad.

The first evening and day at the Riad are to relax and unwind in the company of the Morocco Retreats team and the group in a friendly, welcoming space. Starting with a Hammam and Massage the body is cleansed and scrubbed, washing away any physical and emotional stress or tension, leaving you glowing and renewed. Yoga begins and continues as a constant throughout the Morocco Retreats to open the body and bring harmony through breathing, mindfulness and flowing physical postures.

The next day sees us heading out of the Medina on a new adventure. The journey to the Sahara Desert or the Atlantic coast heads off in a convoy of Land-cruisers and the excitement begins. When we arrive there is always an element of walking either to our destination or once we are there. We have found the movement, journeying and rhythm associated with walking or traveling in this way to be an integral part of the Morocco Retreats, allowing a sense of letting go and leaving it all behind.

There is a familiarity and a feeling of coming home when we arrive at the luxury camp or the villa, the natural setting brings a sense of peace and calm and has a deeply nurturing effect.

Each day with Morocco Retreats is yours to enjoy, with yoga every morning, a series of spa treatments, meditation, walking, resting, laughing, eating and drinking.

We finish the retreat at Zamzam with a celebration of what we have experienced and support in moving on…
