Why we love this tour
Calling all Soulful Beings Everywhere!
Join us on a transformational journey of deep Soul Care nestled in Toubkal National Park in the heart of the High Atlas Mountains. Our magical, authentic, eco-retreat guest house will offer the perfect sanctuary for daily yoga, meditation, and dance as we explore our inner nature amidst the exquisite natural surroundings. Our Kasbah offers a beautiful garden, on-site restaurant, private studio for our practices, traditional rooms, large rooftop terraces and balconies, and outstanding panoramic views of the High Atlas mountain range. Each day will include a customized guided hike through the traditional villages and landscape of the region, meditation/journaling, deep release yoga, soulful bellydance, gentle restorative practices and mindful community building within our group. This is an immersive experience in the culture and nature of the surrounding area. This retreat is part of Jeneen’s “Elemental Retreat Series” which explores different aspects of our being using Nature as a framework and lens for that discovery. SoulCare explores our inner being through the element of Earth, and teaches us to be fully grounded and present for, with and in ourselves, so that we may serve our highest potential in this life to benefit all beings everywhere. This trip will begin with 5 nights in Marrakesh followed by 5 nights at the Kasbah in the mountains.
Your yoga and dance instructor will be Jeneen Piccuirro.
