soul callings 

marrakech retreat

October 7-11, 2022

 

 

“My soul, where are you? Do you hear me? I speak, I call you—are you there? I have returned, I am here again. I have shaken the dust of all the lands from my feet, and I have come to you, I am with you. After long years of long wandering, I have come to you again. Should I tell you everything I have seen, experienced, and drunk in? Or do you not want to hear about all the noise of life and the world? But one thing you must know: the one thing I have learned is that one must live this life. This life is the way, the long sought-after way to the unfathomable, which we call divine. There is no other way, all other ways are false paths.”


― C.G. Jung

I believe that Marrakech ought to be earned as a destination. The journey is the preparation for the experience. Reaching it too fast derides it, makes it a little less easy to understand.” 
― Tahir Shah, In Arabian Nights: A Caravan of Moroccan Dreams

 

returning to the Self

Hearing the call of the soul

As we emerge into a completely undefined, unknown and bewildering landscape asking us to ground deeper into our authentic selves, we need time to slow down and reflect. Rewriting our narrative, recreating our selves, remaking our lives in this wholly new context requires time out to contemplate more deeply. Why are we here? What are our souls asking from us? How do we embrace the present moment more fully from an embodied and infinitely creative space? These are just some of the questions we will be living over these magical five days. Since we are a very intimate group, we'll be able to delve deeply into the archetypal promptings of our horoscope. Expressing our unique archetypal soul mandala, we tap into the depths of our soul's call.

All the rituals and workshops are organized around going deeper into the archetypal prompts of your horoscope. We'll have just the right amount of structure and free-time to explore the desert, ride camels, shop in the Souk, or linger over your fresh mint tea in the lush gardens. We'll hold sacred ceremony on the beautiful rooftop under the Full Moon.

A time to truly relax, reset and return to the callings of your soul and your infinite creativity in the enchating gardens of the Riad Enija

About the Riad

The setting is a 200 year old silk traders palace, named Enija.  The noise and hustle and bustle of narrow alleyways of the Jemaa El Fnaa Square in the Medina disappear as if by magic to be replaced by the gentle gurgling of the fountains and birds singing in the garden the end result of which is, of course, utter peace and a total escape from it all.

This beautiful Riad has 12 spacious and enchantingly decorated rooms and suites, tropical gardens and fountains around each corner.

Perfect to host a mystical retreat, the magic does not end here, as you open the doors you step into the heart of Marrakech’s humming souks, collorful alleys and bustling bazaars.

There is a famous private in-house chef creating the most authentic, sensual and healing Moroccan cuisine you can imagine. The famous Moroccan tea ritual is an integral part of this paradise.

As we explore the magic of Marrakech
We'll be sure to make time for a mix of exploration and inner work. The setting creates the perfect sanctuary to retreat after adventures in the SouK.

 

 

Unending Love

I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times...
In life after life, in age after age, forever.
My spellbound heart has made and remade the necklace of songs,
That you take as a gift, wear round your neck in your many forms,
In life after life, in age after age, forever.
