The Itinerary
Day 1 – Arrival in Marrakech
Arrive in vibrant Marrakech, settle in, and wander the souks for a little shopping and exploring. We’ll meet up for a welcome dinner out together.
Day 2 – Medina & Local Flavor
Dive into the heart of Marrakech with a guided medina tour. In the evening, join our dear friend for a “sips & bites” tour—tasting your way through the city’s best flavors.
Day 3 – Coastal Escape to Essaouira
Head west to the sleepy coastal town of Essaouira. With its sea breezes, blue-and-white alleys, and laid-back vibe, it’s the perfect change of pace.
Day 4 – A Local Hike & Home-Cooked Lunch
Spend the afternoon hiking with our local friend, ending with a traditional lunch in his home—a guest favorite for connection and authenticity.
Day 5 – Through the Atlas Mountains
Journey through the Atlas Mountains with stops at the legendary Ait Ben Haddou and the dramatic landscapes of the Dades Valley.
Day 6 – Into the Desert
Visit Todra Gorge, then continue into the Sahara. As the sun dips low, ride camels into camp where your private white-walled bedouin tent awaits—complete with A/C, full bathroom, and shower.
Day 7 – Desert Sunrise & Village Visit
Wake up to a breathtaking desert sunrise. Visit a local village, learn to play ancestral music with community musicians, and then head back to Marrakech for a final evening together.
Day 8 – Farewell
Depart for home—full hearts, new friendships, and maybe a few tears.

“This is now my second retreat with Christina (and Thomas) and I can’t wait for the third! First off, the way she makes you feel doing a photo session is amazing and the end product is golden. Second, the retreats are spectacular. No detail goes unnoticed. I would rush to have a session and take a retreat with her.”

Kirsten | Marrakech 2022 , Morocco Roadtrip 2023 + South Africa 2024
“I recently went on a retreat to Marrakesh, Morocco with Christina Karst. I've done quite a bit of traveling in my life and I can say hands down, this was the most EPIC trip of my life. On every level, it was so personal and rejuvenating. The Airbnb she selected was exceptional, with each room being unique and representative of the location. Each night and sometimes during the afternoon we would relax by the pool and get to know each other. Christina is a real pro at this and it will be hard for me not to want to go on every trip she has planned.”

“There’s nothing like going on a retreat that is planned and executed flawlessly for you. Traveling with Christina and Thomas is an absolute breeze. What they provide goes beyond (incredible) accommodations. The peace of mind that comes with having the details planned for you is worth the investment. My favorite part is that the work they put in allows for you to truly get lost on vacation and forget what day it is; there is no need to know! Taking the leap and trusting Christina and Thomas (twice now) is something I’ll always be glad I did. I’m thankful for the experiences, bucket list check marks, memories and bomb a** photos I’ll have to treasure for years.”

Why We Do It Differently
Immersion, not tourism — Local guides, spontaneous detours, authentic encounters, and stories behind the landscapes
Heart, not hustle — Small groups, meaningful experiences, and time built into the pace so transformation can happen
Culture, not content — Moroccan flavors, music, art, and traditions woven into every day, not just posed for photos
Now is
your time
What are you waiting for? The perfect timing? The money? Permission? We all know how capable we are of making a million excuses to put ourselves last.
It's no coincidence that 2 out of 3 of our attendees choose to do a 2nd retreat with us. YUP.
We have witnessed and been told the shift in energy, rush of emotions, and excitement to refocus is - at a minimum - what everyone has always walked away with.
We want to see you LIVE your best life. We only get the one.

FAQs
Who is this retreat for?
Adventurous souls who are curious, open-minded, and craving something deeper than a typical vacation.
Anyone who wants to come home changed—not just with memories, but with a reset.
Who might this not be for?
Folks who prefer large groups or private hotel-style retreats.
Travelers who aren’t comfortable with shared living, rustic charm, or the unexpected (because the bush has its own agenda).
Can I come solo?
Absolutely. Many of our guests do! Retreats are built for connection, so you’ll never feel out of place. (And some of our strongest friendships started here.)
Can I book this retreat for just my group?
Heck yes. Whether it's a birthday, bachelorette, book club—bring your people, your vibe, and your energy. We’ll tailor something just for you.
What’s the group size?
We keep things intimate — max of 7 guests. Enough for community, small enough to feel like family.
Is a boudoir session an option here?
No. Out of respect for the country, their culture and customs.
Do you recommend travel insurance?
YES. Yes yes yes. All payments are non-refundable, and you don’t want illness, flights, or natural events to derail this adventure. We’d require it if we could.
