While there will be relaxation and fun, our retreat offers so much more. It's an invitation to release the stories that no longer serve you, explore the key to unlocking your true potential and transform your life to one that deeply fulfills you.
Rediscover your true essence, reignite your passions, and return home with a renewed sense of purpose and clarity.

Meet The Amazing Women Steering Your Empowerment Journey!

ANNABELLA
My mission is to empower women to lead, innovate and thrive, transforming the world around them with their strength, voice, creativity and resilience.
I'm a former London law partner who once found herself lost in the legal labyrinth, desperately seeking an escape route. Cue Marrakech, Morocco - my beloved exotic North African hideaway where I traded courtroom chaos for colourful souqs and mint tea tranquility. Splitting my time now with the Dorset Jurassic coast in the UK, I've transformed into a Master NLP coach and a transformational therapist, on a mission to help high achieving women to feel happy, confident and elevate their success. As a passionate advocate for women who don't have a voice, it was a privilege to serve on the board of AMAL, a charity creating opportunities for women, in Marrakech. Married to my husband of 24 years, Youssef and mum to our 16 year old son Zak, I've immersed myself in the wonderful culture of Morocco and its inspirational people. It would be my absolute honour to share it with you, taking you on a truly transformational journey to owning how extraordinarily amazing you are in every way as you let go of everything that has held you back.

NICOLE
I’m an American artistic designer and digital nomad who has been calling the beautiful city of Marrakech home for the past decade. Married to a local Moroccan and blessed with a son, I am deeply rooted in the vibrant culture and community here.
With a background in creative design and marketing, I've spent the last ten years as a creative entrepreneur in the online wellness industry. My journey began with a love for travel at the tender age of five, which has since blossomed into a lifelong passion! This enthusiasm for exploration infuses all aspects of my work, from designing digital content to hosting large-scale corporate retreats and more refined, intimate gatherings.
Dedicated to creating a life enriched with passion and purpose, I blend art, culture, and creativity in everything I do. My extensive experience spans developing, directing, and marketing numerous retreats, events, and experiences, both online and in-person. My love for travel and personal growth inspires me to craft transformative journeys. Through this Women’s Empowerment Retreat in Morocco, I’m excited to help you leave feeling renewed, inspired, and ready to embrace your next chapter.

SELEENA
I bring a unique blend of adventure, community spirit, and a passion for cultural connection!
After leaving the corporate 9-5 behind, I found a new life in Morocco, filled with adventure and meaningful connections. I’ve dedicated myself to helping others—whether transforming education, creating immersive experiences, or planning enriching retreats. My deep love for local cultures and languages, paired with my experience in community building, allows me to navigate diverse paths and nurture lasting connections.
In the aftermath of the 2023 Morocco earthquake, I took an active role in recovery efforts, working closely with local communities to rebuild and provide essential support. This experience deepened my commitment to empowering others, particularly women, by helping them find their own resilience and confidence.
At this retreat, I’ll guide you on a transformative journey to break away from conventional paths, build your inner strength, and reconnect with your purpose. I’m excited to share not only the Morocco I’ve come to love but also the insights and community spirit that will support you on your own path to growth and empowerment.
This retreat is for you if:
You feel unfulfilled and stuck in a career or life path that leaves you drained, but you're unsure how to break free
You struggle with self-doubt, second-guessing yourself even when you know deep down you're made for more
You're constantly striving for perfection, leaving you exhausted, overwhelmed and never quite feeling 'good enough'
You feel frustrated because you know there's something bigger for you, but fear or doubt keeps you from going after it
You've achieved external success, yet inside you feel disconnected, restless and unfulfilled by what you've built
You constantly battle your inner critic, and it's keeping you from making bold moves or fully embracing your potential
You want to silence the fear and build the courage to step into a life that excites and inspires you
You're craving more confidence and self-assurance to make meaningful changes in your career or personal life
You feel alone in your struggles like no-one gets you and you're looking for support from like-minded women who understand what you're going through
Your Transformational Takeaways:
Clarity and Vision: feel a renewed sense of purpose and direction, leaving the retreat with a clear actionable plan for your next step - whether it's your career, personal life or passion project
Empowered Self-Belief: experience a deep shift in how you see yourself, letting go of self-doubt and embracing your worth with newfound confidence
Courage to Take Action: feel ready to take bold steps, knowing you can handle any challenge with resilience, strength and trust in your abilities
Calm and Balance: walk away with a sense of inner peace, equipped with tools to manage perfectionism and create more balance in your life
Connection and Belonging: create lasting connections that inspire and uplift you
Sustained Confidence: take away practical mindset tools to keep your confidence strong, so you can maintain momentum and continue growing long after the retreat

This depends on the restroom. On the road to the desert I will highly recommend having tissues/Kleenex because they may only have squat toilets with water buckets & soap for you to wash your hands. We recommend bringing toilet paper, hand sanitizer. Sometimes they do charge you for toilet paper in public areas, so just to be safe bring your own. Due to the old drains in local areas, toilet paper is expected to be put in the bins.
Create lasting memories in Morocco!
Morocco isn’t just our destination—it’s a playground for your senses, your soul and your spirit, where adventure, self-discovery and empowerment go hand in hand.
Whether you're wandering through bustling mint-scented souks in Marrakech, riding camels at sunset across the Sahara desert, or attending one of our many transformational workshops, every experience is a stepping stone towards unleashing your inner power!
Get ready for the journey of a lifetime. This is where your transformation begins!
