Does any of this sound familiar?
You’re tired of living the day to day hustle and feel like you should be getting more out of life, but it just doesn’t quite feel possible to make a drastic change.
You’re tired of the trips that never make it out of the group chat, and want to commit to traveling while also building community.
You’re ready to dive deep into a new experience and get a reset on your self care.
I'm here to tell you, you can make it happen for yourself
Let yourself commit and EXPERIENCE:
5 nights in a beautiful Black-owned farm to table boutique hotel. Experience rooftop sunsets, a gorgeous pool, and traditional meals throughout your stay.
Traditional Moroccan experiences that take you out of your element - you’ll visit a local spa, witness the Atlas Mountains, experience shopping in the medina, + take a Moroccan cooking class.
New community with other like-minded women of color with a trip designed for the perfect blend of bonding time + free and flexible solo time.
An opportunity to have all of the logistics figured out for you - from the time you sign up this retreat is designed for ease and rest - with all activities and meals planned for you & all of questions answered along the way.

ROOM Types
There are single and shared room options. Deluxe single rooms are larger than superior single, and all rooms have a private en-suite bathroom. Note the design of each room is unique, and your booking guarantees a room size, not a specific room design.

This is for you if:
You’re excited to try new experiences and new foods - Morocco has no shortage of opportunities to expand your comfort zone.
You love boutique experiences and getting off the beaten tourist path - think local properties and one of a kind experiences, rather than 5 star western luxury.
You’re looking for a blend of adventure and relaxation. We’ll see the highlights of Marrakech, but we’ll also have plenty of free time built in to nap, journal, have a spa treatment, and to simply be.
This isn’t for you if:
You love large group, party focused trips. We’ll be a small group of 10-12, and since Marrakech is a Muslim country you can expect limited access to alcohol.
You’re looking for pure silence and peace. Marrakech is a bustling adventure destination with lots to see and experience. There’s gorgeous landscapes & also a ton of stimulation. But not to worry! You’ll be guided the entire time.
You prefer to do everything independently. You’ll have plenty of flexible free time within the itinerary but the trip is curated to deepen bonds, with guides to keep us protected in the medina.
Meet your RETREAT HOSTESS, TASIA Hawkins
I created Zoya Wellness to help women design life on their own terms and get spiritual nourishment in a way that feels safe, relevant, and interconnected. I’ve traveled to 30 countries and am a 200 HR Registered Yoga Teacher - the retreats I create are designed to connect you to the land, to peace, and to community through movement and local experiences. I first visited Marrakech and Essaouira back in 2014 and am so excited to share in this magical energy with you.
I’ve grown my own self care practices and honed my skills in facilitation and wellness through yoga retreats at Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health, becoming a certified Usui Reiki Practitioner through Minka Brooklyn, and completing circle training through Gloetry Assembly. I launched Zoya Wellness in 2022 as an expansive self care hub, and am excited to bring you more experiences to get closer to your best life.
