Move. Breathe. Resonate. 

A New Year’s Eve Retreat in Morocco

December 27, 2025 – January 1, 2026

Marrakech

& Agafay Desert

6 days, 5 nights

Journey to the land of beautiful Morocco for a retreat unlike any other. We’ll begin in the vibrant heart of Marrakech, surrounded by fragrant spices, warm sun, and slow sips of mint tea, before traveling to the Agafay Desert for a once-in-a-lifetime New Year’s Eve celebration under the stars.

Through daily movement, breathwork, rest, and reflection, we’ll explore the physical, emotional, and energetic layers of presence. Together, we’ll create ritual around the turning of the year—honoring what’s been, releasing what’s no longer needed, and stepping into the new with clarity, intention, and embodied resonance.

Testimonials

“Retreat in Puglia was everything I didn’t know I needed!  After a whirlwind year of big life changes - heartbreak, burnout, and moving - I came to this retreat craving space to just be. What I found was so much more: deep rest, real connection, belly laughs, healing movement, and the kind of beauty that stays with you long after you leave.

Lexie created such a thoughtful, supportive experience that let me soften and fully be myself. From morning breathwork to intentional dinners, every detail was perfect and needed. I left feeling lighter, more grounded and truly reconnected to myself.

If you’re even considering going - go! You won’t regret it.”

— Puglia 2024 Retreat Participant

“Lexie was the best retreat host I have ever had. I am a yoga teacher myself and a wellness Nurse Practitioner, and have also been on many yoga retreats. This by far was the best one! Lexie is attentive, thoughtful, and you will feel so cared for as a retreat attendee. The mornings flows were fun and dynamic and the evening was restorative and rejuvenating. The activities were a fun bonus. I would absolutely go on Lexie's retreat again!!”

— Peru 2023 Retreat Participant

“I didn’t even realize I needed it but this week gave me the time to slow down, breathe, and just be. Every moment of the week felt like true nourishment for my body, mind, and soul. What surprised me most though were the people. The conversations, the laughter… I came alone and left with lifelong friends. If you’re thinking about it—just go. It’s the kind of experience that stays with you long after you return home.”

  • You’re absolutely welcome to extend your trip! If you plan to arrive before December 27th or stay after January 1st, we’re happy to recommend accommodations and help you arrange airport transfers or additional experiences in the area.

  • No problem. If you're booking a shared room but don’t have a roommate, we’ll thoughtfully pair you with another participant. You can also choose a private room option if you prefer more personal space.

  • U.S. citizens do not need a visa for stays under 90 days. If you’re traveling from another country, please check your local travel guidelines.

  • Since many participants choose to arrive early or stay beyond the retreat dates, airport transfers are not included in the retreat package. However, they can easily be arranged through the hotel. BE Marrakech is located about 15 minutes from Marrakech Menara Airport (RAK), and a private transfer typically costs $20–25 USD. We’ll also help coordinate shared rides through our pre-retreat WhatsApp group to keep things easy and affordable.

  • Yes! All practices are beginner-friendly and designed to meet you exactly where you are. Whether you’re new to movement and breathwork or returning to deepen your practice, you’re welcome here.

  • Absolutely. Many participants attend retreats on their own, and past guests often say that solo travel led to some of the deepest connections. We intentionally cultivate a welcoming, supportive environment.

  • Yes, partners are absolutely welcome. All pricing is listed per person, so for shared accommodations, you would each book a double occupancy room. Just let us know during booking that you're attending together, and we'll be sure you're paired in the same room. This retreat is a beautiful opportunity to share presence, practice, and adventure alongside someone you love.

  • Only the best! We love food and consider it an essential part of the retreat experience. We work closely with our venues to curate nourishing, fresh, and locally inspired meals. Meals are typically communal and a beautiful time to connect. If you have any dietary or medical needs, let us know in your participant form and we’ll do our best to accommodate you.

  • A full packing list will be provided before the retreat. We always recommend bringing:

    • A swimsuit, hat, and sunscreen

    • Comfortable walking shoes

    • A journal and reusable water bottle

    • Athletic wear for movement sessions
      We’ll also let you know whether a yoga mat and props will be provided at the venue or if you should bring your own.

  • All deposits are non-refundable. However, your spot is fully transferable.

    If you’re no longer able to attend, you have options:
    • Transfer your booking to a future retreat
    • Gift or sell your spot to another attendee
    • Cancel more than 60 days before the retreat start date to be eligible for a partial refund (excluding your deposit), or shift your booking to a future retreat

    Cancellations made within 60 days of the retreat start date are non-refundable, but your spot can still be transferred to a future retreat.

    Of course, every situation is unique—and I’ll always do my best to accommodate wherever possible.
