About this trip
Join Stephen Kirsch for a 6 night / 7 day Yoga Retreat and Cultural Exploration of Morocco.
Morocco is one of the most culturally rich and interesting places in the world. Bordering the Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea, Morocco’s vast and diverse landscape features ancient cities, stretches of empty beaches, and stark deserts and mountains touched by Berber, Arabian and European influences.
Our Morocco trip is unique as you will not be staying in one location, but rather traveling to two different cities, which, in our opinion, represent the “must see” highlights of Morocco. Scroll all the way down to Itinerary below for more details.
Get ready to embark on the adventure of a lifetime! Questions or payment plan requests, please email Kristin@solseedretreats.com.

Flight Parameters
Arrival Day: Saturday, October 19th
Please plan to arrive by 5pm on Saturday into Marrakech (RAK) so as to be on time for our welcome dinner that evening. If you arrive after 5pm we can still arrange an airport transfer for you, but we can not promise that you will make it on-time to the group dinner.
Upon arrival in Marrakech, we will transport you from the airport to our hotel in the city (about a 15 min drive), and you'll have the afternoon to settle in and rest up before our group dinner.
Please note that you will need to depart from Boston (or whatever airport you're flying from in the US) on the evening of Friday, October 18th, as all flights heading over to Europe / Morocco are overnight flights.
Departure Day: Friday, October 25th
Please DO NOT book flights that depart before 12PM on Friday, October 25th, as we will be traveling about 3 hours from Essaouira to Marrakech that morning.

Itinerary
Our trip will begin in the culturally rich city of Marrakech. Nestled in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains, Marrakech was founded as a city in 1062 AD, and is world renowned for its souks (markets) and medieval maze-like streets, stunning mosques and palaces, relaxing hammans (Moroccan baths), delicious food, and much more. A perfect place to assimilate and integrate into life in Morocco, we will spend our first day and a half here, before heading to the walled coastal city of Essaouira on Day 2 of our trip.
