A WELLNESS OASE IS WAITING FOR YOU
Stay
During the retreat week we have a beautiful accommodation, in the middle of the Atlas Mountains, at our disposal. The accommodation is located at an altitude of 1530 meters overlooking an ancient Berber village located in a rural valley. You really experience the authentic Morocco here.
You will stay in a beautiful private room with en-suite bathroom, uniquely decorated in traditional Moroccan style. In addition, the accommodation has several terraces with views of mountain peaks, and there is a sun-heated swimming pool where you can relax.
Our retreat week includes breakfast, lunch and dinner and is served with fresh juice, water and coffee/tea. Our chef Najat prepares traditional Berber dishes with fresh ingredients that are organically grown by local farmers. For those looking for vegetarian or vegan options, we have a variety of dishes to suit your preferences.
PROGRAM
DAY 1
After arriving at Marrakech airport you will be picked up by our private transfer. Our driver will take you along an ancient route to the accommodation. During the journey there is time to write down your intentions for the retreat which we will come back to later in the week, during the fire ceremony. After arriving at our accommodation you will be guided to the rooms and then a delicious dinner will be ready for us.
DAY 2
We start the day with Yoga , followed by a delicious traditional breakfast on the terrace overlooking the valley. We then take a short walk to a location in nature for a group activity: we learn to give an Ilahinoor session to each other. Ilahinoor stimulates the cooperation between both hemispheres of the brain, ensures good grounding and contributes to becoming aware and processing old pain. Ilahinoor expands consciousness and brings about deep relaxation .
In the afternoon there is the possibility to enjoy a Shiatsu treatment. A delicious lunch is ready for us and in between there is time for your own relaxation, for example at the pool.
In the evening we enjoy a traditional Berber dinner and end the day with a mindfulness meditation at sunset.
DAY 3
We start the day with Yoga. After Yoga, a traditional breakfast is waiting for us on the terrace.
In the afternoon you will enjoy a traditional Moroccan hammam treatment. In between there is time for your own relaxation and a delicious lunch is ready for us. After lunch a channel release treatment is planned.
At the end of the day our chef prepares delicious food and we have a communal dinner. We end the day with a short walk to a beautiful location for a group meditation .
DAY 4
We start the day with Yoga followed by a delicious breakfast. Then we make a hike through the pure air of the Atlas Mountains. You spend the afternoon in this spectacular region . The region is full of crystals that our guide Ahmed can tell you all about. Upon returning to the accommodation, a delicious lunch is waiting for us.
In the afternoon there is time to shop in the medina of the city of Ouarzazate. We will take you to the nicest shops in the city! If you prefer to stay at the accommodation, there is room for your own relaxation.
In the evening we will take a short walk to a beautiful location in nature. Here we have planned a fire ceremony . During the ceremony we release our negative patterns, fears, beliefs, and unhealthy attachments into the flames. As we watch the flames consume them, we symbolically release their hold on us and create space for healing and growth . Fire cleanses. It clears the old to make room for the new.
DAY 5
We start our last day with Yoga at sunrise. The session will focus breathing and with this give a deep relaxation of body and mind.
During breakfast on the terrace we take the time to discuss the week. Then there is the opportunity to pack, and in the afternoon our driver is ready to take us back to the
Marrakech airport for the journey back home.
DAY 6/7 (optional)
To make your trip even better, consider extending your stay. If you are interested in spending a few extra days in the region after the retreat and need help planning, we are here to help!

Hannie Nuwolt
Already 12 years ago, after the birth of my daughter, I became interested in massage therapy through a horoscope reading. I have built up my experience and technique through the many different courses I have taken. I have been thinking for some time how I can further expand my treatments in my practice and after my recent excursions it became clear to me.
Together we will start a new chapter and I will start the future with Tensus Care, by offering treatments outside my practice, during an all-encompassing restorative retreat week for body, mind. Providing shiatsu treatments, Ilahinoor and Channel release are in safe hands with me during the retreats.

Melle Braaksma
Melle works as a creative coordinator and has spent the last few years traveling around the world while pursuing his creative projects. It was through this process that he became familiar with many of the world's most exotic and unvisited locations.
After moving to Morocco 6 months ago, building connections and furthering his career, it became clear to Melle that this was the perfect place.
It is for that reason that I organize retreat weeks together with Melle, not only to guarantee the most spectacular experience, but also to offer an experience that you would otherwise not easily experience.
