Sherene Vismaya and Chloe Garcia Ponce, will be offering a retreat focusing on the unveiling of Self through healing rituals and sacred space. We will be focusing on the power of intention through mantras, creating our own mesa (altar), as well as activating them. Each client will receive a Limpia (healing) an astrology reading and tarot. We will be discussing the healing properties of herbal remedies found in the souk, and incorporating a sacred belly dance ritual (no previous dance experience required as it is sacred ritual).

As we explore the magic of Marrakech, the “Red City” named for its’ rose stone walls, founded in 1062. We will be visiting the town of Lalla Takerkoust in the Atlas mountains, chiefly known for its nearby dam and lake and is a great place for camel riding or simply admiring view of the peaks.The valley of Ourika, in the Atlas foothills 60 kilometers to the south of Marrakech, is a popular escape to see Berber villages surrounded by waterfalls and rivers. Majorelle Garden (a 12-acre botanical creation by French painter Jacques Majorelle and later saved from development by fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent ).

Above the entrance at Ali ben Youssef Medersa, an inscription reads,‘You who enter my door, may your highest hopes be exceeded,’ and the jewel-like courtyard that awaits certainly lives up to the promise’. Immerse yourself in a sensuous Moroccan experience at Hammam de La Rose, a sanctuary of peace and tranquility in the heart of Marrakech. Les Bains de Marrakech is an elegant spa centre located in an old townhouse pressed up against the 12th-century city walls in the southern kasbah quarter. A full range of treatments, from water massage to shiatsu, plus steam-cleaning in a traditional hammam, are on offer. Koutoubia Mosque is the largest mosque in Marrakech and spiritual centre, but also a point of reference for international architecture.

Chloe Garcia Ponce is a Mexican “Curandera” healer, a “Yerbera” herbalist and “Oracionista” working through the power of prayer and candle work. Curanderismo is a holistic approach to wellness that has been used in the Americas for hundreds of years. In Mexico, it is also known as Mexican Traditional Medicine, “medicina del campo”. Curanderas have a vast knowledge of herbs and remedies, and other gifts as clairvoyance. Curanderismo believes that disease is caused by social, psychological, physical, environmental, and spiritual factors; a disharmony of body, mind, and spirit.
