A Message from Cheri...


Join Cheri for an incredible and luxurious adventure to Morocco!



On this exotic desert retreat, you will immerse yourself in this magical oasis as we explore traditional Moroccan culture within its villages and countryside. We will practice yoga in the most unique and gorgeous settings surrounded by the sounds of nature, the Atlas Mountains, as well as an atrium filled with greenery.


This retreat is planned down to the finest details, yet there is plenty of opportunity to indulge in sumptuous Moroccan spa services, relaxing by one of the many magnificent pools, biking or hiking in the mountains, horseback riding, tennis, and of course, enjoying a cocktail with fresh garden herbs.

Our home for 6 nights of the retreat includes two different locations, each offering traditional and modern design. One hotel is in Marrakech medina and the other Kasbah is located on the outskirts of Marrakech, as an escape into the serene nature surrounding the red city. Beautifully appointed rooms are spacious and decorated with handcrafted furniture and linens, private terrace, and breathtaking surroundings.


We will start each morning with an energizing and refreshing yoga flow to prepare us for the amazing day ahead. We will then end the day with a meditation or restorative yoga practice to unwind and allow for all the treasured memories to soak into our bones and prepare us for an enchanting evening.


My core principles are to live with passion, live bigger and brighter, and boldly welcome new possibilities to discover the very best of ourselves. I would be thrilled to have you join me on this retreat to the Moroccan desert and share these principles to inspire you as we live with an adventurous spirit together!

I'm ready for adventure...

  • I'm interested in a planning a trip from scratch, can you do this? How does the process work?
    Tell us where you want to go (and a bit about you! You'll complete our Travel Planning Form and let us know where you want to go! We’ll work on crafting selections for you: hotels, activities and start on the day-to-day itinerary! We will email you to confirm we've received your form Then, we will present you with the preliminary plans for your chosen destination (Collaboration time!) You’ll send us feedback and we’ll work through edits together Once decisions have been made, we'll start booking and squaring the pieces of the puzzle away. After we finalize details, we will deliver the final digital itinerary to you. The countdown is on!! We hope you will keep in touch during and/or after your trip so we can live vicariously through your travels.
  • This sounds fun. How much does it cost?
    Here's the breakdown: Hotels: We may earn a commission on paid hotel bookings (paid by the hotel). So, for hotel direct (and only) bookings, this is complimentary, no extra fee is charged. Trip Planning Guarantee Fees: For services that require research for flights, multiple destinations, home rentals, and/or usage of points/miles, we may charge a planning "guarantee fee" and may increase depending on the complexity of the booking. This will always be transparently presented at the first stage at contact and agreed upon before proceeding. This amount will go towards your overall booking, but it is not refunded to you should you decide not to move forward on a trip. Please understand that a lot of work happens behind the scenes and sometimes in the industry, we are not getting paid 30-90 days after a client departs from their trip. If you choose not to move forward with the trip, we are out time, energy and money. Thank you for your understanding - and your support in our small business! Flights: Clients typically book flights on their own and it is something that we suggest doing. However, if you need assistance, please let us know. Please note that ticketing fees apply. There is a ticketing fee of $50-$75 depending where you are flying internationally. We can always search and suggest routes on our end for you if you want to book on your own.
  • Do I pay anything upfront?
    Well, this is a two part question... If your trip is highly detailed and results in a trip planning fee, you will pay the trip planning fee up front. Please note, each itinerary is built from scratch and we invest an amount of time before we deliver the final product. For other bookings, this is a case-by-case basis. Some partners require full-payment up front, but others may only require a small deposit. Others just might require a credit card on file to reserve your spot/room and payment on arrival. As you can see, there are many moving pieces as it is dependent on what you are booking and at what level. Before moving forward and collecting any payments, we will talk through the options and what's required at the time of moving forward to the booking step.
  • What is your cancellation policy?
    This is dependent on the scale of your trip and how far along we are in the planning and reservation process, but long story short: we want you to be happy and we want to see you experience your dream trip. But, please note that every booking style comes with its own terms and conditions - this will be reviewed with you in writing before moving forward. We always recommend travelers insurance as that would have your back due to extenuating circumstances. Click here to learn more about travelers insurance.
  • Okay, so, why should I work with you instead of booking the trip myself?
    Easy! The obvious bit first: we work together taking the hours of research off your plate. We know that organizing a trip can be time consuming... and a lot of deep breaths! If you have a number of tabs open on your computer, then it’s your sign, let's work together. In the end, you’ll save time and energy and your travels will be seamless and memorable. It may be the yogi in us , but we have a knack for listening to your story and translating that into finding authentic experiences that fit what you are looking for; thus you’ll travel confidently knowing everything has been taken care of for you. We have a community to back us and together, are well versed in the travel and tourism industry. Meaning, we remain at the forefront of emerging destinations and travel trends.

  • I almost forgot! Can you tell me more about travelers insurance?
    Certainly! Bottom line: We strongly recommend, if not require, our travelers secure travel insurance to cover you should the unknown hurdles present itself - which happens more often than you’d think! Travel insurance helps protect the financial costs you have paid into your trip as well as provides medical coverage for when you are traveling, if necessary. Traveling, near or far, without insurance can be a gamble... what if someone gets sick? What if the weather has a mind of its own on your travel day? What if you lose your checked luggage? What if there is a medical emergency and you may need to be transferred to a better hospital? Situations like these happen more often thank you think and without insurance, they can add up! Plus, you might lose any non-refundable deposits/payments on top of it. To purchase travel insurance from our partners at Roam Right, click here! We have also partnered up with Faye, you can click here for more information. If you have any questions or if you would like us to book on your behalf, please do not hesitate to contact us directly and we will be able to walk you through next steps.
