wild Permission
NEW YEAR ADVENTURE RETREAT
Morocco’s Coastline, Atlas Mountains, Sahara Desert & Marrakesh
January 2-9
"Courage is contagious.
"Courage is contagious.
Every time we choose courage,
we make everyone around us
a little better and the world around us a little braver."
BRENÉ BROWN
How can we meet fear with curiosity? And pain with patience?
How can we dissolve our own blocks?
Instead of creating unrealistic New Year’s resolutions that we struggle to fulfill…
Let’s give ourselves wild permissions to live our wildest dreams,
move out of our comfort zones and dare greatly!
Doing this in a group and in Morocco’s very special and wild environment will definitely be memorable, if not life-changing!
Sometimes all we need is a wild permission & holding each other accountable!

MORE ABOUT THE TOUR

DAY 3: You will be waking up to the sound of the ocean and an energizing Yogaclass as well as a vitalizing breakfast before we hit the road towards the Atlas mountains and arrive to a beautiful riad in Ouarzazat where we have dinner, a yin yoga session and in the morning a Vinyasa flow class and breakfast before we continue our journey to the desert. In the evening we arrive to the Sahara and enjoy a moment of connecting to the unique environment, practice and have dinner.

More about the program
We will always have a conscious start and a conscious end to every day. Depending on the weather conditions, the energy level of the group and the specific program of the day, we will attune our Yogapractice to be mindful with our energy resources and most respectful with our bodies.
The program includes 5 all-level Vinyasa Yogaclasses

Our Venues
Together with our lovely local guide Omar, I chose the most comfortable, authentic and tasteful accommodation. Our choices throughout the tour is a unique blend of guesthouses, riads, hotels and luxury camps.
Nevertheless it’s an adventure Retreat and we kindly ask you to give yourself the ‘wild permissions’ to stay open to flow with different circumstances, luxury levels and weather conditions. It will be mostly sunny and warm but please be aware that especially in the desert, temperatures can drop rapidly during the night.
Our FooD
We will enjoy vegan-vegetarian cuisine and indulge in Morocco’s local treasures like home-made Tagine and other traditional meals that we will enjoy together with a traditional Berber family in their cozy living-room and of course fresh sun-kissed fruit, the softest, sweetest and most delicious dates… and much more that you can’t even imagine in your wildest dreams!
All dishes are as fresh, seasonal, organic and regional as possible. Drinks are non-alcoholic at all times. If you have any allergies, you can specify that in your online registration form that you will receive after signing up for the Retreat.
THIS IS FOR YOU IF…
One or more of the following aspects resonate:
You are up for an adventure
You want to soak a lot of sun
You are open to meet new people
You are curious to dive into a different culture in an authentic and reel way
You want to deepen, elevate or start your yoga-practice
You want to make great memories and tell interesting stories to your grandkids one day
You have something in your life that you always wanted to fulfill but didn’t do yet and you feel like it’s time to get closer to it - no matter if it’s writing that book, starting that podcast, leaving that relationship or job, starting an important conversation, moving to a new place… and you feel like it would be good if a group could support you moving forward!
You want to set intentions for the year that feel like wild permissions rather than New Year’s resolutions and start 2025 full of inspiration, connection, depth and laughter!
The yoga - AM I GOOD ENOUGH?
No matter where you are at on your journey of self-discovery - how long and how deeply you have been in touch with yogic practices: All Yogaclasses are all-level classes! You will be asked to specify your individual wishes with regard to Asanas that you would like to work on and injuries that you would like Julia to be informed about.
Any reason or no reason just an inner calling is enough to come!
The Retreat is a unique blend, ready to meet the individual needs of any diverse group. You will be able to communicate your needs, wishes and personal interests in an anonymous online registration form that you fill out prior to the Retreat.
Since almost 20 years I’ve been dreaming about visiting Sahara desert. After having been researching and talking to an incredible amount of people, I got in touch with Omar through several corners of shared friends. He happens to be born and raised in a local Berber family in the Atlas Mountains and invited us to meet them and even stay there. He has co-facilitated and guided many conscious travels before and I perceived such good vibes from him that I personally can’t wait to go on this adventure with all of you!
