About this trip

Exploration | Inspiration | Illumination 


Book a 6 night / 7 day Yoga Retreat and Cultural Exploration of Morocco with Cathy Madeo and Ellen Mosko.


Your hosts, Cathy and Ellen, will help you cultivate a fresh new shift that you've been seeking both on your mat and in your life. You'll experience new aspects of your yoga practice with creative vinyasa yoga classes and explore your subtle body with yin. You'll adventure to exotic new places throughout Morocco to satisfy your wanderlust. You'll leave feeling refreshed, renewed and rejuvenated!


Morocco is one of the most culturally rich and interesting places in the world. Bordering the Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea, Morocco’s vast and diverse landscape features ancient cities, stretches of empty beaches, and stark deserts and mountains touched by Berber, Arabian and European influences.


Our Morocco trip is unique as you will not be staying in one location, but rather traveling to two different cities, Marrakech & Essaouira, which represent the “must see” highlights of Morocco. 


Trip snapshot:

Daily vinyasa yoga classes with Cathy and yin yoga classes with Ellen

A women's Argan oil cooperative tour

Moroccan cooking class

Sunset beach camel ride

Plenty of free time to explore the cultural walled cities of Essaouira and Marrakech

Our trip will begin in the culturally rich city of Marrakech. Nestled in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains, Marrakech was founded as a city in 1062 AD, and is world renowned for its souks  (markets) and medieval maze-like streets, stunning mosques and palaces, relaxing hammans (Moroccan baths), delicious food, and much more. A perfect place to assimilate and integrate into life in Morocco, we will spend our first day and a half here, before heading to the walled coastal city of Essaouira on Day 2 of our trip.

What a truly stress free trip. Grace and Alex were excellent with anticipating needs, from arranging to have coffee purchased in one town delivered to our hotel to making our trips dreams come true sorting a farm visiting, where a friend of the retreat group was volunteering at. This above and beyond care to execute an excursion not in their typical menu of activities was amazing. Alex even indulged us in a trip to his local town's hot springs after a few of us had researched them. Grace was a transit wizard always having boats and vans booked for us when needed.

Panama is an exotic and a beautiful country. Local people are kind and helpful. Group of people we were traveling with are old friends that made this trip easy and pleasant. As per accommodation, I would recommend to take care of cockroaches that appeared in our room, and especially bathroom, every night. I was very concerned not to bring them home. Also, room for three people, ideally, could be bigger size.

Lovely location. The hosts Augusto and Anita were top notch and the chef Nicole was phenomenal. The casitas were nice but no air conditioning was challenging during the day as it got quite humid. There were cockroaches in the casita at night but we were in the middle of the jungle so it was to be expected. I wish more excursions were included in the package given the price but the additional costs were reasonable. The massage therapist Maria was phenomenal and reasonably priced for her fantastic massages. The food was yummy, not fancy but ample portions unlike in the Azores property.

This trip reminded me that, in the end, it’s all about the people. Kevin and the Sol Seed team brought everyone together with a perfect balance of organization and laid-back energy. We had the chance to immerse ourselves in the culture, and the team made made sure our dollars went back into the community. I really appreciated that level of intentionality from the organizers.

This was one of the best trips of my life! The accommodations, excursions, food and people were truly delightful. I was so impressed by how well it was organized. I can’t wait to go on another adventure!
