A transformative journey

to your creative purpose

Picture this:

the vast expanse of the desert, a charming Moroccan riad, and vibrant sunsets melting into star-filled nights. This is your sanctuary—where creativity flourishes and self-expression takes flight.

With a camera in hand, you’ll capture beauty, while indulging in exquisite local cuisine, thoughtfully curated yoga sessions, and transformative sound baths.

Seven unforgettable days. Twelve kindred spirits.

A journey crafted to empower and guide you toward deeper creative self-discovery.

You're just one residency away from reigniting your passion and finding fresh inspiration in photography!

Will you answer the call?

  • Find your voice and discover new tools to communicate your vision through different techniques. Learn photography basics, storytelling while growing your portfolio.

    You'll be able to photograph up to 4 different locations.

    We will all take turns modelling, helping the other participants to carry out their vision.

  • Vinyasa, Yin, Hatha & Jivamukti Spiritual Warrior.

    Classes are open to all levels.

  • Embark on a journey to the deepest parts of yourself through Tibetan bowls and Gong baths. Unravel your most intuitive self through their sacred sounds.

  • Discover the culture of Morocco and its rich tapestry of traditions with our local hosts. Endless sand dunes and starlit nights are waiting for you.

  • We know the road of creativity can get lonely, which is why we place community at the heart of the Sacred Women’s Circle experience.

    Connect with a group of like-minded women, fostering deep, meaningful relationships that uplift and inspire. Together, we create a sacred space where friendships blossom and creativity flows in the safety of sisterhood.

Dreamers, wanderers, photographers, and visual poets—whether you've spent years behind the lens or are just beginning your creative journey. It’s for those who feel the pull to capture the enchanting landscapes of Morocco and its deserts, turning fleeting moments into lasting works of art.
