Welcome to Morocco
A WELLBEING JOURNEY
November 17-23/2024 we will once again visit Morocco and the fairytale city that is Marrakech, and you are welcome to join. Simplicity meets luxury on this journey where we will stay at Bab Zouina retreat center, located 45 minutes south of Marrakech,
near the majestic Atlas mountains.
During this stay we will visit Jardin Majorelle, the Yves Saint Laurent Museum, Dar el Bacha, El Fenn, the Ourika Valley, a Saffron Farm, and you will experience wellbeing with Hammam, massage and daily yoga and meditation classes.
Our travels focuses on "the good life", which according to Maria Djoenne evolves around art, fashion, culture, exploration, the luxury of time and space, simple, healthy, good foods, and overall wellbeing.
We travel in small groups of 8-10 people and allow women only to join.
Daily meditation and yoga classes are offered as a way to wind down, relax, stimulate, and awaken the senses. The Yoga classes are open to all levels and are taught in a simple, gentle style. There will be no rigorous yoga.
Our home-away-from-home is Bab Zouina, a beautiful retreat center located in Ourika, near the Atlas mountains. Here we live surrounded by magical gardens. There is a swimming pool(fresh water, not heated), a yoga studio, a hammam and massage room and a clay tennis court. The style here is embracing simplicity and beauty, ecology and taking care of people, animals and nature.
We are served home cooked meals three times a day.
During the week we will go on trips to Marrakech to enjoy a lovely lunch at the legendary El Fenn, we will visit the YSL museum and Majorelle garden, enjoy a coffee in the beautiful and historic Dar el Bacha, and there will of course be time for shopping and exploring the Medina, the old city of Marrakech with it´s markets and vibrant energy.
You will also enjoy lunch by the river in the Ourika valley, visit a Saffron farm and relax in the hammam and massage rooms at Bab Zouina.
Mornings and evenings there will be yoga and meditation sessions.
We will spend two days at home, to make sure you have enough time to do nothing. Bring books and prepare to slow down and be reminded of what it is to just be. Bookings for additional hammam/massage/shiatsu sessions at your own cost are available.
All activities are included and optional.
*Changes to activities can occur, depending on availability
This is a curated, hand picked journey for the open minded. You will experience slow paced days, a down to earth approach to life, simple luxury, creativity, Moroccan cats, nature, Moroccan hospitality, time off, new input, new tastes, new people and the Maria Djoenne way of Good Life.
