ALCHEMY
Marrakesh
21 - 27 March 2025 | Marrakesh, Morocco
The term "alchemy“ is often used metaphorically to describe processes of transformation and creation, a process that results in a profound shift from a fragmented state towards a newly integrated state of being. Just as ancient alchemists sought to transmute base metals into gold, this metaphorical alchemy represents the pursuit of inner refinement and expansion.
During this week, beyond the hustle culture of daily life, you’ll be invited to take the introspective space required for the delicate process of inner transformation. Yogic practices provide us with very tools needed for turning inwards.
The asana practice will be Jivamukti, a dynamic vinyasa designed to bring a deep sense of connection and awareness to our body and mind. Each morning will start with chanting, meditation & pranayama, followed by a deep & purposeful asana practice. The afternoons will be dedicated to going deeper into our understanding and exploration of meditation, pranayama and asana.
LOCATION: Riad to the Dunes
During this retreat, you’ll have the unique opportunity to stay at two enchanting resorts, each offering a different perspective of this magical country. For the first three nights, you’ll reside at the renowned Riad BE Marrakech, nestled in the heart of Marrakech’s medieval Medina, just steps away from the city’s vibrant pulse. The riad is adorned with traditional Moroccan patterns and materials, creating an authentic and serene atmosphere. It features a pool, a beautiful patio, a hammam, and a massage room for your relaxation.
For the last three nights, you’ll transition to the Hideaway Camp BE Agafay, located in the serene Agafay stone desert, just 45 minutes from Marrakech. The camp offers ten spacious 50m² yurt tents, each equipped with comfortable bedding, an en-suite bathroom and shower, a wardrobe with a small kitchenette, air conditioning for heating or cooling, and a private outdoor terrace with breathtaking views. The camp also includes a restaurant and bar area where you can enjoy meals under the stars, a swimming pool, and a jacuzzi with panoramic views of the desert landscape. You’ll also find a stunning sunset hill and a yoga shala, perfect for our daily practice. Each yurt tent features a skylight window, offering a view of the starry night sky.
