Sometimes, you just know. Even if you can’t explain it yet. Earlier this year, I felt it was time for something new. Not just a vacation or a quick getaway, but real space for myself. A reset. A deep breath.
I didn’t know exactly why, but the idea of going on a retreat kept pulling at me. At first, it felt a bit vague, but soon I knew: I want this. After some searching, I found the Rise & Align: Awaken Your Intuition retreat by Conscious Travel Club. And I felt it instantly: this is right.
The sign-ups had technically already closed. But I followed my intuition, sent a message anyway, and three weeks later, I was standing in the heart of Marrakech. Ready for something I couldn’t yet define. But I did know: this is exactly what I need.
It started at the airport, where I met the other women traveling to Morocco. Each of us came alone, each with our own reason. And yet, it felt familiar from the very start.
The moment we stepped into the riad, everything changed. The city’s buzz stayed outside. Inside, it was quiet. Light. Breathing. A place that felt like coming home. The riad was stunning, with high ceilings, white linens and a sense of calm. But what made it truly special was the group of women.
All so different. Yet connection formed effortlessly. Conversations went deep from day one. Without judgment. Without masks. There was laughter, there were tears, there was sharing. And all of it in a space where everyone could simply be themselves.
The entire week was centered around living from your intuition. Guided by energetic therapist Lara Jeanne founder of ZAIHRA, we had sessions, workshops, yoga and space to truly land in our bodies.
One of the sessions moved me deeply. I had never experienced an energy healing before, but during that session, something unexpected happened. A memory surfaced, something old, something I had pushed away for years. And suddenly, it was allowed to be there.
The next day, during our desert trip, something magical happened again. During the session, I had a kind of vision: I saw myself dancing in the sand. And that exact moment repeated itself there, in real life. As if my intuition had already shown me what was coming. Strange and beautiful all at once.
What stayed with me the most from this retreat is the feeling of deep connection. Not just with the other women, but with myself. I discovered how powerful it is to truly choose you. To gift yourself a week where nothing is expected, and everything is welcome.
And I still feel the impact: I make decisions more easily. I overthink less. I trust what I feel, even when it doesn’t seem to make sense. The retreat wasn’t just a beautiful experience. It truly set something in motion.
What I didn’t know back then, but I do now, is that I get to help shape this retreat moving forward. How special is that? For the next edition of Rise & Align, I’ll be there as a host. Maybe this is the reason I felt such a strong pull: I had to be there. Not just for myself, but to be able to share this later with others.
Together with Lara, I’ll create a space where you can land. Receive. Feel held. So that you, too, can experience that deep rest. That clarity. That spark. I truly believe every woman deserves to gift herself a week like this. Not as a luxury, but as a way of coming home.
Maybe something in my story resonates with you. Maybe you feel a quiet yes.
Then you already know enough. That little voice isn’t there by accident.
The next edition of the Rise & Align retreat will take place again in Marrakech. In that same magical location. With space for an intimate group of women. And with all the loving guidance to help you hear your intuition clearly again.
