The retreat will take place in the exceptionally beautiful Bab Zouina, a space that was sustainably built, utilizing traditional building techniques and encompassed by fruit trees, aromatic plants, and permaculture garden from which many of the meals are harvested.
The place also has a swimming pool, tennis courts, and a traditional hammam. It is nestled in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains, in the Ourika Valley.
Bab Zouina is a peaceful and unique retreat center located in a traditional Moroccan villa with a wonderful garden, at the foot of the Atlas mountains. Having the privilege of being in an idyllic area, Bab Zouina's team strives to preserve and improve its immediate environment.
They live by three main commitments: human equilibrium, community impact, and sustainability. This is done with an agriculture respectful of ecosystems, the choice of local and organic produce, responsible and efficient management of resources and waste, and energy saving through the use of renewable energy where possible.
Program
Participants will dive deep into embodied flow, free movement, and healing practices, as well as embark on a guided hike and jeep ride through the mountains, allowing the energies and frequencies around them to lead the way toward healing, surrendering, and letting go.
At Akna Collective, their retreats are more than just yoga. They are opportunities for profound self-discovery and deep healing. If this speaks to you, trust that this is the moment you were meant to find. They invite you to join them for an intimate and nourishing retreat in the heart of Morocco.
This retreat blends introspection with adventure and joy. Together with the group, you’ll explore new rituals for the year ahead, hike through awe-inspiring landscapes, and immerse yourself in the vibrant Berber culture. Are you ready to begin this transformative journey?
