- Are you at the top of your game, working harder than you've ever worked and still not being paid what you're worth to live the life you want?
- Feel like you're in the middle of a mid-life crisis even though you're the most successful you've ever been?
- Are you working like a madwoman to get it right and each time you step forward, it feels like the universe is pulling the rug out from underneath you feet?
- Are things falling apart faster than you can put them back together?
These are all signs that the universe is telling you that you are
READY FOR CHANGE,
but at the same time,
you're resisting it
Why
BECAUSE--
- Jerry Essuary
What is the DreamingMorocco Goddess Retreat?
Well, first off, it's opportunity for you to step out of your comfort zone and move into a world that's been thriving since the 12th century.
A culture where it's people are incredibly present, kind and planning for the future is considered worthless because all things happen Inshallah (only if god wills it). So basically, you have no control ...the only thing you have is the joy, the wonder of the present moment.
It simplifies your life and helps you appreciate what you have more deeply.
On this journey, you'll learn about all the things that you really don't need to be happy.
You'l learn how to ALLOW life to happen
To remain present so you can experience the MAGIC
You will learn how taking one massive action
in behalf of your Soul creates Change
And that external action, that change is TRANSITION
ACTION + CHANGE = BELIEF that You Can Create Change
Action + Change + Belief In Yourself = TRANSFORMATION
Right now, part of wanting those things that are not inline with what you need is what's taking you out of the present moment which means you're missing the life you have in order to get the life you think you want.
On this trip you’ll journey to Morocco’s classic destinations, visiting its four imperial cities, its mountains and its desert. Each day, our guide Rachid El Ait Haj will take us back in time to the 12th century.
And April will guide us through the spiritual & emotional journey of staying present moment by moment so that your personal transformation can happen.
Over 17 amazing days you’ll see the stunning colonial architecture and palm-lined boulevards of Rabat, the impressive ramparts and monumental gates of Meknes, the craftsmen, markets, tanneries and mosques of Fes, the endless dunes of the Sahara Desert, the diverse landscapes of the Rif, Middle and High Atlas Mountains, and the storytellers, snake charmers and henna painters of Marrakech’s Djemaa el Fna. Along the way you’ll wander the winding paths of Chefchaouen’s whitewashed medina, go back in time to the Roman Empire at the archaeological site of Volubilis, and discover the 17th century kasbahs of Ait Ben Haddou. With each destination having its own unique history, wonders and highlights, this journey through classic Morocco is one unforgettable cultural adventure!
Our tour will culminate in a 2 Day Retreat in the Beach town of Essaouira where we'll spend two days learning April's DreamingOutLoud Technique...ways to get out of the rut and onto the path your dreams set you on. Day 2 we will focus on a plan of action to get you unstuck and living out the path to your joy, your purpose, your success.

TRIP NOTES
Is this trip right for you?
· As Morocco has a tipping culture, travellers are expected to tip small amounts for most services, so please be prepared. Your leader will suggest methods and amounts to tip during the trip.
· A camel trek through the Sahara Desert is a highlight of the trip for many. If you're uncomfortable with this, it's possible to walk alongside the camels for about an hour to the camp. You would need to walk back the same distance the next morning, but don’t worry - it’s a gentle, relaxing walk.
The opposite can be said for the hike up to Aroumd, as you'll be trekking up steep, rocky steps for around an hour. If you do decide to do this walk then you'll need comfortable walking shoes, but you can also hire a mule to ride up all the way. Please also note that your main luggage will be left behind, as only hand luggage can be carried up to the village for you.
· Although you shouldn’t expect any aggressive selling techniques in Morocco, please be aware that you may be approached by shop owners and street vendors offering their goods to you on regular occasions. your guide will brief you about this on the meeting
· The weather in Morocco can be extreme. Summer temperatures can be uncomfortably hot, especially for those who aren't accustomed to the heat, so please consider what time of year you travel carefully. If you do travel in the warmer months then pack layers to cover you from the sun, bring the necessary sun protection and drink plenty of water. The desert can also get cold at night, so remember to bring base layers and warm clothing.
· We have sourced our accommodation very carefully and picked the best possible hotels, but please note that service and accommodation in Morocco may be different to western standards. On the second day of the trip, the journey by bus to chefchaouen is windy in places so it's not for the feint hearted. Although the backdrop of the stunning Rif Mountains makes this a truly scenic journey.
Physical rating A good level of fitness is recommended and will certainly help increase the enjoyment of the trip and help you to make the most of the variety of optional walks and hikes around towns and villages.

Passport and visas
Australians, New Zealanders, Canadians, Americans, EU and British citizens do not require a visa to visit Morocco for stays up to 90 days. All other nationalities should check with the Moroccan Embassy or Consulate in their country for up-to-date visa information.
What is the dress code?
There’s no official dress code in Morocco, however wearing clothes that cover the shoulders, upper arms and knees will be highly appreciated by the local people
Do I need to get any vaccinations?
There are currently no official requirements for travellers to have specific immunisations before entering Morocco but we recommend you be up-to-date with your inoculations for hepatitis A, polio, tetanus and typhoid. Malaria prophylaxis is not necessary
Food and dietary requirements
Moroccan food is, generally speaking, excellent and particularly varied. Breakfasts usually consist of bread, butter, cheese and jam with coffee, tea & orange juice. In main towns it is possible to find very good French and Moroccan restaurants where a meal and French wine will cost anything from Mad 25$- 35$. Generally dinner is likely to cost between MAD 10$-15$ depending on what you order.
There are vegetarian options given the new hotels we're staying in. Vegetarians will have choices of vegetarian couscous, tajine, pasta, salad, pizza or omelettes. Fish will be available in towns that are close to the sea: Agadir, Rabat, Essaouira, Marrakech. Generally Morocco is very known for it is fresh vegetables.
If you need vegetarian food seasoned to your taste, you can supplement that with what you bring from home or pick up spices from Morocco's amazing spice markets starting in Fez.
Vegans and those on gluten-free diets may find this region very challenging and may need to supplement meals with their own supplies from supermarkets and markets.
Transport via Train, Private Bus & Camels
There are some long travel days and some rough travelling in areas away from main tourist routes. High passes, windy roads and rough surfaces make for some challenging travel experiences. On some long travel days we depart early in the morning to ensure we optimise our time at our next destination. If you experience travel sickness we recommend you consider medication to help ease the discomfort. The best part about all of these long drives are the spectacular views and fun stops en route such as mountain passes, kasbahs, palmeries, sand dunes, goats up trees etc.
Money CURRENCY
The currency of Morocco is the dirham (MAD). Bank notes come in denominations of MAD 200, 100, 50 and 20. Smaller values are issued as coins in values of 10, 5, 2 and 1 as well as 50c, 20c, 10c and 5c. Changing money is easy and you will find banks and exchange bureaux in Casablanca, Fes and Marrakech.
TIPPING
If you're happy with the services provided a tip - it's of great significance to the people who will take care of you during your travels, inspires excellent service, and is an entrenched feature of the tourism industry across many destinations.
The following amounts are based on local considerations
Restaurants we suggest 8% to 10% of your bill.
Local guides: Throughout your trip you may at times have a local guide in addition to your leader. We suggest $2- per person per day for local guides.
Drivers: We would suggest a higher tip for those more involved with the group however $3 per person per day is generally appropriate.
You may also consider tipping your tour leader for outstanding service throughout your trip. The amount is entirely a personal preference, however as a guideline $4-$5 per person, per day. Of course you are free to tip more or less as you see fit, depending on your perception of service quality, remember a tip is not compulsory and should only be given when you receive excellent service.
Packing
I suggest you pack the following:
· Warm layers
· Light raincoat
· Comfortable walking shoes
· Sunglasses
· Sunscreen
· Hat
· Insect repellent
· Torch
· Clear plastic sandwich bag for any hand luggage liquids.
· Plastic/rubbish bag for dirty laundry/wet clothes/shoes (single-use plastic bags are banned in Morocco)
· Photocopy of your passport.
· Please always have comfortable shoes for the trip as it will involve different walking distances.
· If you use a hiking pole, it would be a good idea to bring it with you.
· Make sure your necessary items are in your hand luggage i.e. travel documents, medications, electronic devices etc.
· Keep a sarong/pashmina in your hand luggage – it can be used as a blanket on the plane, a scarf if it’s cold or a shawl on an evening out.
· Bring a small, soft/fabric bag to put your essential items in for the two nights in the sahara camp where you won’t have your main luggage with you, I advise you to keep the suitcase in bus away from the dust and sand.
· Roll your clothes instead of folding them.
· Stuff socks and underwear inside of shoes.
· Take photos of your luggage and its contents in case it gets lost.
· Put a piece of paper with your contact details in your checked luggage in case it gets lost
· Skip airport snacks and pack your own – you can save yourself a bit of time/money and keep your hunger at bay if your flight’s delayed.
· If you’re driving to the airport, take a photo of your car and where it’s parked.
Climate and seasonal information
Morocco is a very cold destination in winter and a very hot one in summer
For the latest weather information, go here before your departure and choose clothes accordingly.
Safety
SCAMS: When walking through touristy areas of cities you may be approached by 'helpful' locals who want to show you where to go or take you to a local spice shop. They will either ask to be your local guide for the day or expect money when you arrive at your destination. Please note these people are not registered guides and will try and get as much money from you as they can. A friendly 'no thank you (or 'la Shukran') should suffice.
PETTY THEFT AND PERSONAL SAFETY:
While travelling there is always the risk of pick-pocketing and petty theft, particularly in the more touristy cities. We recommend that you exercise caution when walking alone at night and encourage you to walk together and only on main, well-lit thoroughfares. Simple measures like carrying your day pack on your front, not hanging your bag over the back of your chair or on the floor and wearing a money belt will reduce any chance that your valuables should go missing.
In general, Morocco is a country with low crime levels, but pickpockets do exist - be careful with your valuables
Always remain vigilant when crossing the road - a green pedestrian light doesn't guarantee you a safe crossing, nor does a pedestrian crossing
Travel Insurance
You must purchase travel insurance that covers you for the entirety of your trip before your trip start date.
