Our aim is to be learning and growing with open hearts, with respect to the wisdom of others, and gratitude for the opportunity to share and connect to eachother at a location.

WHY MOROCCO???? : Morocco is just a nation. There are stunning landscapes, straight out of a fantasy, and the warmth and tranquility of this peo??? Ple will melt your heart in manners that are unexpected. It is incredibly complex, vibrant, and apparently chaotic. Nothing is sensible, and everything is logical. It moves with its own intuition, it's own fire.

?????????????????????

This Islam has secured towns and is practiced with reverence, not radicalism. I have never seen a genuine fraternity between people somewhere else in my travels. The interest and openness of these people is unparalleled. And the land is more hypnotic, immense, and inspiring.

I found it to be a spiritual place, packed with opportunity to grow and discover one's authentic selfif the mere experience to be there holds up this kind of different mirror. I found serenity within my Tinghir home, incredible views and fresh perspectives, real connection with others, and a life trajectory. It's this magic, that love, which I wish to share with other people.

Are only in Marrakech, or surf and biking deals at the shore cities of Agadir and Essouira. However, these towns are very touristic, and scratch the surface of what Morocco has to offer.

??? Hidia on the major road, known for its casbahs of all Morocco. To make it happen from Marrakech, we will travel through the Tishka Pass together with it has unbelievable views, snow capped peaks and rich reddish land villages tucked along the riverside, almost blending into the stones. Cutting through the High Atlas Mountains, we'll descend into the slopes of the southwest, where one can marvel at the wide expanse, once submerged, the evidence of early ocean lines from the crimson and sand.

Tinghir has grown alot in the past several decades, yet retains it has village charm, together with sand homes nestled across the oasis, small family run companies, friends sharing mint tea at the regional cafes, women washing laundry by the river, neighbors chatting on doorsteps, and stretches of green fields operated by hand. It's big enough to have all the modern conveniences, but small enough to where everyone still knows each other families, like a big tribe that is extended. The silence of this nighttime skies is exploding with stars, pink and purple dawns rise with birdsong, and as soon as the call to prayer echoes it is mesmerizing, haunting and soulful. The oasis of Tinghir has this space has this serenity has this power to connect you.

YOGA & MEDITATION:

Daily yoga and/or meditation sessions will be led by Stacey Hoshimiya RYT500and/or Inge Veldscholten RYT500.

Each of us has a different but very complementary personality, that may ensure diversity in pace, subject, and saying. You are certain to find the best of both of us! Inge leads these gorgeous meditative flows which incorporate yoga nidra, partner work and pranayama (breathing techniques). Stacey tends to concentrate on bending, holding strengthening the core, and centering. Teacher to student ratio is high, given there are limited areas for participants, and often we assist in the sessions of each other, so you'll have our undivided focus.

We have custom built a transformative 10-day yoga escape??? Program, using the ancient Pancha Kosha yogic doctrine as our guide. We invite you on the journey to a heart, to reconnect with your credibility. Starting out of the very layers of the being, and becoming advance into the escape, we will slowly go inside and get romantic with aspects of ourselves that are pri??? Each session will build up on the previous clinic, resulting in you through all of the layers of one's complex and gorgeous self.

Beginners will love the breakdown of yoga into bite size bits, readily digestible and readily understood, and advanced yogis will enjoy coming back into the philosophy of yoga, and the possibility to go into their practice.
