These retreats are designed for the spiritually curious, the creatively inclined, and the woman who senses her next chapter is calling. Whether you’re at a crossroad of change or craving inspiration, clarity, rest or connection — this space is yours. Led by Annika Glac in collaboration with the team behind Riad Botanica. Yoga is for all levels , all ages, all bodies and those who seek to hone their practice.
You are welcome as you are.
This is not one-size-fits-all. This is woman-to-woman. Midlife, seen clearly. If you’re between 40 and 65, you have felt the shifts, physical, emotional, even spiritual, maybe you’ve been told to just “push through it,” or worse, to disappear quietly. You’re not here to disappear. You’re here to become more you than ever.
Movement as Ritual, Yoga as Inner Art, Annika Glac is a certified Gita Yoga and Meditation teacher, holistic health coach and cinematic storyteller whose work is rooted in the sacred feminine from Australia. Her breath-led yoga practices are designed to support deep nervous system regulation, energetic balance, and clarity of presence.
Each morning and evening session is aligned with the retreat’s theme, supporting women through transition and change. Whilst creating a sacred structure for both energetic exploration and inner stillness. Annika shares her craft as both teacher and guide, gently helping you return to your centre.
Essaouira – Begin your journey in a boutique coastal haven. Hear the ocean melody every night from your terrace, flow into sunrise yoga, walk the dunes, and visit the ancient Medina with expert guides and local storytellers. Enjoy seafood picnics, poolside journaling, and sunset reflections.
Agafay Desert – Ride camels at dusk, then dine under stars to the sound of music and firelight. Immerse in the stillness — golden, vast, and sacred.
Marrakech – The Red City welcomes us with colour, creativity, and tradition. Stay at the award-winning Riad Botanica. Cook with chefs at La Maison Arabe, sip Bacha Coffee, explore gardens and palaces, and shop hidden ateliers with locals Angela & Mohamed Mellak.
With exclusive experiences crafted in partnership with Riad Botanica and Marrakech Retreats, these retreats offer more than relaxation — they are invitation to return to your centre, slow your rhythm, and meet Morocco through the lens of soul.
There comes a moment in every woman’s life when the noise fades... and the truth begins to rise. Not the truth of who you were told to be, but the truth of who you are, right now. That’s perimenopause, it starts to whisper in your 40s with symptoms that seem to come out of the blue and a feeling that something is changing, stirring, that nobody talks about - this is not a medical problem. Not a decline. It’s a spiritual initiation.
A sacred, hormonal wake-up call. This retreat is your pause and reset. A chance to step away from the world’s expectations and return to your own. You’ll stretch, breathe, be still and reconnect with the part of you that has always known: There is more. For women moving through the real, raw beauty of transformation and midlife. It's about nervous system repair, honest rest, and deep-body knowing.
We use yoga, breath, and grounded conversation to create a space where you no longer have to push. This is where you remember, your power didn’t leave, it was just waiting for you to slow down enough to feel it. You’ll move gently. Breathe deeply. Rest fully. Learn truthfully, and reconnect with the part of you that never left.
