Reclaiming Joy Retreat
When was the last time you felt pure, unabashed joy flooding your body and radiating from you?
Stop passively waiting for it to happen.
The time has come to understand that you are worthy of living in joy.
Start learning how to create that for yourself, whenever you desire.
What kind of energy are you consistently offering yourself and your loved ones?
Is your energy rooted in the tiredness of putting on masks?
Are you holding heaviness that no longer serves you?
Joy is a choice and a practice.
This retreat will provide you with the opportunities to find, embody, reclaim and celebrate joy through breath, bodywork, artwork, workshops and activities. We invite you to connect, learn, release, create and celebrate at The Serai, a private retreat center in Essaouira, Morocco, March 22-28, 2024.

Accommodations
“Between the forest and a deserted beach lies the Serai, where nothing disturbs the silence and nothing troubles the eye.”
The Reclaiming Joy retreat will be held at the Serai, an Eco-Lodge in Essaouira, along Morocco's Atlantic Coast. Situated on a dramatic and tourist-free stretch of coast, 15kms north of Essaouira, the Serai is a traditionally built sanctuary from the modern world. Set amidst a tiny and very traditional fishing & farming community, this alcazaba of rock, earth and lime offers discerning travelers an immersive experience of slow living and slow food wrapped in a silence so profound that nothing interrupts your power to simply be.
All rooms are shared with a roommate. Everything during the retreat is included: dance, yoga, sessions, workshops, all meals, hammam, lodging, art supplies, rituals, ceremonies and transportation to and from Marrakesh. Meals in the market are not included.
