Under the Moroccan Sun

Fire Goddess Activation

The Journey of a Lifetime

Stepping into the old market means stepping back through a thousand years of history and culture.You feel your entire being immediately swept up in the intricate hustle and bustle of music, dancers, snake charmers, and the noise and clatter of hooves on cobblestones, children playing, and women’s voices calling through the crowds. You are enveloped in frankincense and open-air stalls brimming with deliciously fragrant cardamom, cinnamon, and mouth-watering dates, olives, pomegranates, and citrus. You are standing in the center of a caleidoscope as polished brass platters, stained-glass lanterns, elegant Berber rugs, and hand-embroidered silk gowns dance, swirl, and shimmer around you. Words are never enough. You must experience the magic and magnificence of this living tapestry to recognize how it comes together in an exquisite cacophony of sensory experiences. The beauty of this wildness is that it seems to be infinitely self-aware and, for the traveler, infinitely temporary. Just as it becomes too much—as it becomes too hot, too crowded, and too loud—an ornate door opens, and you find yourself quietly sipping mint tea in a breezy rooftop cafe. In complete peace, you lean back on embroidered cushions and gaze at the sun-bleached linen, curtains, and the endless turquoise blue of the Moroccan sky.

You are a Goddess in this Paradise

Late afternoon finds you disappearing into the Hammam Spa, a secret world of women where you are drenched in Argan oil, wrapped in date sugar and rose petals, and allowed to melt into your inner queen. The following day will bring something completely different. The moments of our lives are endlessly ticking away; what a divine honor to savor them in the rugged beauty of a red desert or the crashing roar of an oasis waterfall. Allow yourself to drink in the ornate architecture of Casablanca and the dazzling blue of Chefchaouen. What would it be like to find yourself riding a camel into the desert at sunset to sleep on velvet beneath a million stars? All things are possible when you leave home far behind and open your heart to wild adventures. —Keridwyn Hershberger

I invite you to take this journey into beautiful Morocco. Allow this wild land of unfamiliar sights, scents, and customs to challenge you. Allow yourself to thank, forgive, and release a lifetime of lies, and feel your true Fire Goddess self stretch her arms in sisterhood to embrace the Solstice Sun. Adventure! We will see the elegant modern city of Casablanca, wander the charming streets of The Blue City of Chefchaouen, relax with the artistry and hospitality of Fez—the cultural center of Morocco—and finally wind our way back to the majestic ocher city of Marrakesh. We will ride camels into the desert to dance around a nomad campfire and listen to traditional music, laugh at troops of wild monkeys as we bless ourselves in the cold water of Ouzoud Falls, make our own magical fragrance at the Perfume Museum, and learn to cook traditional Tagine before we devour it with expertly paired Moroccan wines. And finally, we will melt away in the stunning Hammam Spa. Ceremony: —Each day, we will practice Yoga, Meditation, Mindfulness, and Ritual.

The Magic Of Women

​

Standing with other magical women in sacred ceremony, you feel your shoulders drop and your heart open as the Moroccan Solstice sun warms you. Envisioning deep roots growing from your feet, your energy merges with Mama Earth. Quiet, clear, calm energy spirals up your spine in response, stretching and soaring into the sky as your heart fills with joy. You can completely exhale. A surge of utter knowing courses through your entire being. Goosebumps race up your arms as your breath quickens. Tears of joy streak down your face as you see your soul’s path laid out before your eyes. In a miraculous instant, your old, tired ways of being melt away, and an epic feeling of inner freedom washes over you.

With your soul sisters as witnesses, you speak your truth and feel this act of power ripple outward. You have the most magnificent feeling that your life will never quite be the same.

Welcome… The heartbeat of Mother Earth has called you to magical Morocco!

​Blessed Be

The Promise

You feel powerful at heart, connected to your inner sight, and able to confidently stand in your power at home, at work, and in all your relationships. You let your soul ROAR and overpower any lingering doubts or temptations to play small. You rev up your confidence to guide sacred ceremonies and healing meditations for yourself, your clients, and your community. And since you know that you have to put yourself FIRST and lead by example before you can truly inspire others in your tribe... You’ll also invite vulnerability and compassion to be your guides, making the time to press pause on your life so you can go within and nourish yourself as you call in the intelligence of the divine feminine (balanced by the wisdom of the divine masculine, of course)! Yes! It’s time to supersize your ability to tap into the flow of feelings and intuition to guide your decisions. This journey will touch your life, your clients (for those of you with a healing or coaching practice), and all of humanity for years to come.

Destinations

Casablanca

On June 17th, we will be meeting in the fast-paced and modern city of Casablanca, the financial center of Morocco. Upon arrival, you will be taken to our 5-star luxury hotel by private car, where you will have free time to relax in your room, unwind by the pool, or go on our guided tour of the Hassan II Mosque and Habous district. In the evening, we will have a delicious welcome dinner with introductions and a grounding and centering meditation to root us in this magical journey. If possible, please arrive in the morning to enjoy everything our time in Casablanca has to offer. If you would like to arrive a day early, please let us know, and we will gladly add an additional night of luxury accommodation to the beginning of your journey. An additional fee will apply.

Chefchaouen

In the morning, we will enjoy breakfast together at the hotel, then travel inland to the fascinating city of Chefchaouen, The Blue Pearl of Morocco. Over the next two days, you will stay in a traditional Riad and enjoy Guided Tours of the Historic City, Shopping in the Old Market, and, of course, time to relax, unwind, and nourish our body and spirit with traditional Moroccan Foods and amazing sites. Opening to your power, you will be guided through the Sacred Myrrhophore Ceremony, daily integrations, guided meditation, and a healing yoga practice.

Fez

On the morning of our fourth day, you will rise for an early breakfast and depart for the Cultural Center of Fez, stopping to visit the Roman Ruins of Volubilis. You will enjoy an expertly prepared lunch and wine tasting at a local vineyard in Fez on the first day before settling into the beautiful Riad El Amine. For the next two days, you will be guided through the amazing sites of the artists quarter, tanneries, souk, medina, and the monuments of Medersa and Qarawiyyin.  You will continue the deep work of awakening your power with a Soul Gazing Ceremony and integration, daily yoga, check-ins, and guided meditations.

Rabat

On the sixth morning of your journey, you will return to the coastline for a short stay in the Capitol City of Rabat. You are welcome to join our guide on a tour of the Hassan Tower and Oudayas, then enjoy a little shopping in the Old Medina. The Kasbah de Oudayas is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is considered an absolute must-see when visiting Morocco. Later, you may be ready to stretch out in the sun next to the Riad pool and journal. In the evening, we will gather for dinner, check in with each other, and relax into a guided meditation before bed.

Agafay Desert

This morning we will travel to the majestic ochre sands of the Agafay Desert. This is where you will activate the strength and beauty of the Fire Goddess deep within. Atop a camel, riding single file into the setting desert sun, you feel your heart open wide to your Divine Feminine as you let the wild desert air clear your mind on this soul's journey.  You will feel infinite power surge through your body as you release your old self to be carried into the night by Bedouin Music and the sparks of the Solstice Fire. You will sleep in the desert camp and be awoken early for a breakfast of fruits and cooling mint tea. As you ride your camel away from the sacred fire and embrace the morning sun, feel your divine spark settle in and integrate into your very being.  You are a woman, and you are Sacred.

Ouzoud Waterfall

To temper and soothe all our heat and Goddess Fire, we will travel to the breathtaking Oasis on the Ouzoud Waterfall; the most beautiful waterfall in Northern Africa. After giving our offerings to the clear waters of the Wild and Divine River Goddess, we will have a traditional Berber Lunch and a light hike. After this beautiful day of emotional integration, we will rest in the Imperial City of Marrakesh. Then after our deep inner work, you’ll have plenty of time to rejuvenate – whether it’s sipping a cup of Moroccan Mint Tea in one of the outdoor lounges, journaling among the rose gardens, or swimming in the courtyard pool. Time to nurture YOU. We know how much you give to others!

Marrakesh

Your next three days will be filled with all the wonders of Marrakesh. Each day you will lean deeper and deeper into deeper into soul integration through Healing Yoga, Guided Meditations, and Sacred Ceremony. You will celebrate your divine feminine by making your own custom fragrance at the Perfume Museum and a relaxing massage at the Hammam Spa. You will indulge you senses with walks through the spice markets, a Tagine cooking class with wine pairing, a trip to the communal bread ovens and old market streets. You will fall in love with the sites and textures and aromas that greet you at every turn. On our last day, June 28th we will depart form Marrakesh, transformed and whole in our Highest Self.
