Awaken Your Senses

A Soul-Nourishing Women’s Retreat in Morocco

Awaken Your Senses is a curated, deeply embodied retreat in Morocco for women who are ready to reconnect with themselves, restore their nervous systems, and rise into the next chapter of their lives—grounded, clear, and fully alive.

Imagine This…

You’re sipping mint tea on a rooftop terrace in a restored 18th-century riad in Marrakesh.
The early morning sun warms your face.
Orange blossoms scent the air.
Beyond the ancient walls, the city hums—yet here, everything feels unhurried.

Around you are women who feel familiar in the best way. Conversations are soft, honest, unguarded. There’s a sense of shared understanding you haven’t felt in a long time.

You’ve just finished a morning embodied practice—movement that helped you drop out of your thinking head and back into your body. You feel present. Grounded. Awake. Ready for more.

Breakfast is waiting.
You didn’t cook it.
You won’t clean it.

Later, the day unfolds at your pace: lounging by the pool, wandering the souks, sinking into the healing rituals of a traditional hammam and spa right there in your Riad. There is no pressure to do it all—only permission to listen inward.

As the afternoon fades, you’re transported to the Agafay Desert. You ride a camel as the light shifts. You gather around a fire feeling safe and seen. Traditional music drifts through the air. Dinner is served under candlelit luxury tents, surrounded by silence, stars, and wonder.

You’re deeply held by the land -
And by the women beside you—because they came for the same reason you did.

To pause.
To restore.
To reawaken.
To remember who they are beneath all the roles they carry.

This Is What We’re Doing—Together

Awaken Your Senses was created for the woman who gives so much to others and is finally ready to give something meaningful back to herself.

This is not a retreat where you “push through” or try to become someone new.
It’s a retreat where you come home—to your body, your breath, your intuition, and your aliveness.

Throughout the week, you’ll be guided through a thoughtfully woven blend of:

• Embodied and somatic movement

• Meditation and breathwork

• Nervous-system-informed healing practices

• Reiki and subtle energy work

• Ritual, reflection, and spacious integration

Every practice is invitational, trauma-aware, and designed to support safety, presence, and choice.

Why Go With Me

This retreat is fully curated by me with so much love, a 9 year experienced retreat guide who understands that true transformation doesn’t come from doing more—it comes from feeling safe enough to soften.

My work is rooted in decades of experience in yoga, somatic healing, ritual, teaching, trauma-informed practices, meditation, and nervous system regulation. I don’t lead from a script; I lead from deep listening—to the group, the moment, and what wants to unfold. I also lead from my own lived experiences.

You’ll be held in a container that is:

• Grounded and intentional

• Warm, relational, and human

• Deep without being overwhelming

• Spacious enough for both joy and tenderness

You won’t be “managed” or forced.
You’ll be accompanied.

Why Morocco—and Why This Way

Our home is a stunning, soulful 18th-century Riad just outside the heart of the Marrakesh Medina, lovingly restored with exquisite craftsmanship. It’s a place that invites you to slow down, to notice, to feel. I cannot wait to share this gem with you. You will

Marrakesh offers a rare balance of stimulation and stillness—color and quiet, ritual and mystery. From rooftop practices to courtyard meditations, winding souks to desert stillness, every moment is designed to awaken your senses gently and fully.

Morocco is the backdrop.
What you’ll remember is how you felt inside your body while you were here and feel all of your senses come fully online.

Why Now

Because something in you already knows.

You don’t need another year of waiting for the “right time.” You know the time is now.
You don’t need another retreat that stays on the surface.
You don’t need more inspiration—you need integration.

This retreat is for women standing at a threshold and in transition.
Between who they’ve been…
and who they’re BECOMING.

The group is intentionally small.
The experience is intimate by design.
And this moment—this exact season of your life—will not come again.

Let This Be More Than a Trip

Let this be a full-body remembering.
A week where your senses come alive in a new land.
Where your nervous system settles.
Where your spirit is nourished by connection, community, and presence.

Morocco will stay with you.
But what will change you…
is how it feels to be truly awake—and truly together.

Who This Retreat Is For

This retreat is for the woman who:

• Feels successful, capable, and generous—but quietly depleted

• Has been holding it together for a long time and is ready to soften

• Craves depth, safety, and real connection—not surface-level wellness

• Wants to feel at home in her body again

• Is open to somatic, nervous-system–informed healing

• Knows she’s at a threshold and doesn’t want to cross it alone

You don’t need to be “burned out” to come.
You don’t need to feel broken.

You simply need to feel the pull.

Who This Retreat Is Not For

This retreat may not be the right fit if you’re looking for:

• A packed itinerary with constant stimulation

• A luxury vacation without inner exploration

• A performative or overly “high-vibe” experience

• A retreat where you’re expected to push, fix, or transform yourself

This is not about becoming someone new.
It’s about remembering who you already are—at your own pace.

What Makes This Retreat Different

There are many beautiful retreats in the world.
This one is different because of how you’ll be held.

• Practices are trauma-aware, invitational, and choice-based

• The pace allows for real integration—not just peak moments

• The group is intentionally small to support intimacy and safety

• You’ll experience both ancient culture and modern nervous-system wisdom

• Nothing is rushed. Nothing is forced.

Transformation happens here not because you try harder—but because you finally have space to listen.

What You’ll Take Home With You

You’ll return home with:

• A deeper sense of trust in your body and inner guidance

• Tools to regulate your nervous system long after the retreat ends

• A felt experience of rest—not just the idea of it

• Meaningful connections with women who truly see you

• A renewed relationship with yourself that feels steady and alive

This isn’t an escape from your life.
It’s a way back into it—with more clarity, softness, and agency.

I'm Stephanie O’Hara, a somatic coach and embodied healer!

My mission is to help humans reconnect with their bodies, regulate their nervous systems, and access a deeper sense of presence, creativity, and personal power. I teach from both my professional training and my lived experience, guiding you to move, release, and feel—always with intention, choice, and safety.

My own journey has been rich, complex, and transformative. I’ve navigated the effects of substance abuse and disorders in close relationships, divorce, financial loss, emotional challenges, and the experience of starting over in my 50s. These experiences taught me what it truly means to reclaim your body, your voice, and your life—and they inform every space I hold.

I’ve been curating and leading retreats for 9 years, traveling extensively to create transformative experiences in France, Bali, Italy, Portugal, and beyond. I bring that depth and perspective to every moment of this Morocco retreat, blending nervous-system-informed practices, somatic movement, meditation, and subtle energy work so you can feel fully alive and held.

In late 2025, I transitioned my in-person studio, Beausoleil Yoga, to a fully virtual practice and business. This allows me to bring my somatic coaching and embodied healing work to more women—wherever they are—while living in alignment with my core value of freedom.

I am a Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner (SEP-in-training), an EYT-500 yoga teacher, a Reiki practitioner, a trained meditaiton teacher and breathwork facilitator. On this retreat, I will hold space with presence, patience, and care, guiding you invitationally so you can reconnect with your body, intuition, and sense of aliveness—without pressure, without performance, and fully at your own pace.

Embodied safety is my greatest priority for myself and those I guide.
