If you’ve ever wanted to get hands-on and do volunteer work while also getting culturally immersive and having beautiful travel photos taken, this trip is for you. Join us for a 5-night retreat at beautiful Peacock Pavilions in Marrakech, Morocco. 7 stunning rooms available; all rooms to be shared by 2 guests. We always do our absolute best to pair you up with a friend or someone you know, whenever possible. This trip is a social impact experience centered around female empowerment, with a beauty, wellness, and holistic approach.
We’ll have retreat leaders to help us re-center your mind, body, and soul, while teaching us about why transformative and impactful travel is so important. We’ll also volunteer at Project Soar – a nonprofit that works towards equal opportunities for young women and helps to further their education through arts, physical education, and mentorship. All that, topped off with a welcome cocktail party with henna, a group yoga session, beauty meditations, professional travel photos in Essaouira, a camel ride on the beach, personal free-time built into the program so that you can roam Marrakech at your own leisure and/or book your own off-site excursions, + more! Will we see you there?
Set in the heart of gorgeous Morocco, networking and mingling opportunities with your fellow GoodTravelers, volunteer work, beauty meditations and rituals, professional travel photos in Essaouira, henna party, group yoga, retreat leaders to uplift and inspire you, built-in personal time so that you can explore at your leisure.
