No, there's no forced family fun on this retreat. It's your masterpiece. Do as much or as little as you want. There are plenty of opportunities for both full participation and full relaxation. And all of the activities are for any level. You don't have to be a painter, a photographer, a writer or any kind of creative to enjoy this retreat. This retreat is designed to bring out the creative joy in EVERYONE! You just need curiosity, a spirit of adventure and a craving to spend a week in Morocco connecting to yourself and a group of wonderful people.

• We are staying in two boutique hotels. Our main hotel (6 nights) is outside of Marrakech in the Palmeraie area, the Jnane Tamsna Hotel. Our second boutique hotel, The Kasbah Bab Ourika, is in the Atlas Mountains, a short 50-minute drive from Marrakech (we provide the transportation). We will be in Marrakech for 4 nights, the Atlas Mountains for 2 nights, then back to Marrakech for our two final nights. 

We love solo travelers to our retreats! You will make wonderful friends and enjoy meeting the creative souls that we bring together. 

You can either book a room with the single occupancy supplement additional fee or ask us to find you a roommate for the shared occupancy retreat price.

We can't guarantee that we will find you a roommate, but we've always been able to accommodate that request in the past. And we do our best to do so for every retreat. 

Your non-refundable deposit of 25% of the total retreat price (depending on which accommodations you choose) reserves your spot. We have a generous early bird discount as well as a four-part payment plan.

Your total retreat price depends on the accommodations you choose. Pricing is based on double occupancy. There is an $1800 single occupancy supplement.

All payments are non-refundable.

We highly recommend obtaining trip cancellation insurance.

For shared rooms:
If you would like us to pair you with another retreat participant, indicate that on your booking registration. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to find you a roommate, and you will be responsible for the single accommodations price if we cannot, but we do our absolute best to accommodate all requests and it's usually not a problem for us to find you a roommate.

The per person retreat price includes meals, wine at dinners, excursions around Morocco, transportation to and from our excursions, workshops, and, of course, a few surprises!

Availability is limited and our retreats have sold out very quickly in the past, so don't delay.
