About the Event

SOLD OUT!!!

Join Maya Pagán and Zainab Zakari for a week of heart expanding yoga, cultural connection, and life-changing adventure in magnificent Morocco!

YOGA

Follow the cycle of the rising African sun and setting desert moon with daily solar & lunar yoga practices to deepen your connection to body, mind and spirit. We will use the mandala, a sacred geometric shape symbolizing balance, harmony and cosmic wholeness to synthesize each day's discoveries.  Practices will include vinyasa flow, restorative yoga and meditation. All levels are welcome. We'll also offer additional workshops off the mat to explore mandalas and chakras in daily living and how to create your own water color chakra oracle deck. ​

EXPLORE

Adventures will include a guided tour of the medina (the old city), a visit to a nearby organic farm for a cooking class led by a local chef, and a day trip to hike and picnic in the Atlas Mountains. There will be shopping in the markets for textiles, spices, baskets and more, visits to hidden gardens, as well as indulging in a hammam, a traditional and unforgettable Moroccan spa experience.  Other optional adventures are available as add-ons. Desert camel ride? Local wine tasting? We've taken care of every detail so that you can truly relax and enjoy!  

STAY

Peacock Pavilions is a lush and peaceful oasis in the Moroccan desert, located just 10 miles outside of bustling Marrakech. Our retreat will have exclusive access to this spectacular eco-friendly, artisanal boutique hotel situated in a secluded and protected olive grove with sweeping views of the Atlas mountains. Designed and built by author, blogger and designer, Maryam Montague, and her architect husband, Chris Redecke, this 8.5 acre luxury estate has been featured in dozens of international magazines, including National Geographic Traveler, Elle Décor, House & Garden, Food & Wine. Recently Forbes Magazine named Peacock Pavilions one of the 8 most beautiful hotels in the world! The entire property has been artfully decorated with Maryam's personal collection of museum quality artifacts and colorful textiles gathered on her world travels. Guest pavilions feature soaring ceilings, majestic fireplaces, and inviting corners to gather for intimate conversation. Elegant bedrooms each feature their own beautiful bathrooms with solar heated showers. Spend your free time roaming through expansive rose gardens, sipping tea on tiled terraces, exercising in the outdoor gym beneath bougainvillea, or lounging by the serene pool and fountains. Breakfast is served en plein air serenaded by a chorus of birdsong, while some dinners will be held in the Arabian dining tent, seated on piles of cushions and handwoven rugs. 

FOOD

Meals feature farm-to-table, authentic Moroccan cuisine, reflecting the unique flavors and spices of North Africa and made daily onsite with local ingredients, some coming directly from the Peacock Pavilion's gardens. Enjoy estate grown olive oil, fresh squeezed orange juice, handmade yogurt and freshly baked bread everyday! The chefs take pride in delighting their guests and are happy to accommodate any dietary restrictions. 

GIVE

Peacock Pavilions supports Project Soar, a non-profit organization established by the hotel owners, to empower local Moroccan girls through art, sports, health and English language education. We are joining with Peacock Pavilion to donate a portion of this retreat's proceeds to Project Soar, to help teenage Moroccan girls understand their value and their rights, and find their voice as young female leaders.
