If you’re a busy career and family-focused woman—being pulled in a million different directions—who is ready to bring more presence into your everyday life, join us for a retreat where you are going to uncover exactly what you need to say “YES” to living your most incandescent life.
Sitting by the pool in the golden light of sunset...
you sip a glass of warm, sweet mint tea as you unwind and replay the experience of your day shopping in Marrakech. You remember walking through the marketplace filled with people and wonderful colors, sounds, and smells — a hive of bustling, purposeful energy!
You can still see the sparkle of light…
from the intricate glass and metal lanterns peeking at you from dark shop corners and the scent of traditionally dyed leather rising from berber slippers, bags and belts lining the walls of the shops.
How tempted you were…
while running your fingers along the plaited woven bags with leather handles and colorful pom-poms, to toss all your necessities into a bag and dash off to the beach or the farmers market, bringing your little piece of Morocco with you.
Suddenly, in the midst of these memories…
you’re pulled out of your reverie by the tinkling sound of glassware and the low gong inviting you to dinner in the Arabian dining tent. Across the courtyard, you see your new travel besties gathering and chatting about their days, and you feel the soft, warm breeze on your skin as the wind rustles through the olive grove.
Full of joy and anticipation…
for more adventures, you float out of your pool chair and join the others for a meal together in the glowing tent under a carpet of stars twinkling in the Moroccan night sky.
This is Morocco, it’s all about you, and you’re living your dream!
While on retreat in Morocco for 7 luxurious nights…
You will learn simple, joyful ways to bring more mindfulness into everyday living. No painful hours sitting still in a cross-legged position, instead we will explore journaling, mindfulness walks, gratitude reflections and group sharing circles.
You will begin your practice of eating more intentionally, as we experience the most delicious international cuisine, visit the spice markets of Marrakech, and have a cooking lesson to learn how to use the spices in your own dishes at home. We will explore hormone balancing spices and foods for optimal health and wellness and learn how to integrate this into your life at home after retreat.
You will connect the dots, and uncover exactly what you need to say “yes” to living your most gorgeous life—because you will learn more about what makes you tick through techniques like yoga and meditation to bring a sense of body awareness and sensitivity into your everyday actions.
You will feel so fully engaged and in the moment in Morocco that you will want to bottle it up and take it home with you! While on retreat, you will experience the feeling of being completely present for big and small moments, and you will explore ideas to recreate this kind of feeling everyday.
You will put yourself first on your to do list!
The Venue
Our home for the week Peacock Pavillions,
is filled with gorgeous global decor. Each room has it’s own muse-inspired theme that will make you feel like a princess in your very own Arabian fairytale. Our venue is made up of three separate, yet shared buildings, so there is plenty of space to gather with new friends either in one of the salons or by the tiled pool. Or choose to have a quiet moment of solitude on a rooftop walkway or terrace.
Peacock embodies modern ethnic glamour.
All accommodations are designed for sumptuous double occupancy with twin beds. You also have the option to upgrade to a single room upgrade for your own private hideaway, if you would prefer to have your own space. Upon booking, you will be able to select your choice of rooms, so choose quickly. Our fabulous retreat also boasts a pool for lazy dips after days spent in the hot sun—such a refreshing way to unwind after shopping in the Medina or hiking in the Atlas Mountains!
Our last night in Morocco will be extra special…
We will sleep under the stars…
in an incredible tent camp in the Desert. Composed of unbleached tents pitched in the lunar landscape of Agafay, The Stone Camp gives an impression of the ends of the earth at the foot of the Atlas Mountains.
The whistling of the wind over the dunes and the surrounding mineral universe will be the perfect backdrop for our final evening in Morocco.
Just imagine you are from the golden age of explorers…
This unique setting gives will make you feel like you are part of a wonderful expedition. We will use this space to absorb all of the magic we experienced in Morocco. From the evening bonfires to the aroma of fresh bread carried in the pure early morning air, the camp will plunge you into serenity and magic, an alchemy perfect to integrate our retreat.
I am ready to choose my room!
Get ready to indulge all of your senses with
the luscious food of Morocco.
Your taste buds will never be the same…
after their affair with ginger, cumin, saffron, turmeric, cardamom, paprika, and cinnamon. Honey, pistachio, rose water, and preserved lemons also enter the stage to entice and delight! This food is not spartan diet fare—oh no! Our breakfasts will begin with freshly baked bread from the communal village ovens just outside of our hotel, and will include homemade jams, eggs or muffins, yogurt, and fruit. Lunches will be light and fresh, and dinners will include multiple delicious courses, served by candlelight—and will end with an herbal infusion from the garden to help you sleep.
Allergic to anything, or have food preferences? Not a problem!! We can accommodate each and every request as the chefs at Peacock have worked with countless guests with all manner of dietary restrictions. Most of our meals will be farm to table and totally amazing.
I‘ve planned a special workshop for you highlighting the healthful properties of many traditional Moroccan Spices. We even have a half-day cooking class and excursion planned with an amazing Moroccan chef where we will learn to prepare authentic food influenced by the Berber tradition, and we will all share in the fruits of our creation.
As my gift to you, I will send you home with recipes so that you can continue your own exploration of total body wellness with a global influence.
You will also have a chance to eat out at your choice of restaurants, so you can experience that elusive kefta mkaouara, briouats, or fekkas on your list. Have not a clue what I am talking about? Don’t worry--I will share lots of resources to prepare you for our amazing adventure!

I am ready to invest in myself!
“Beth is absolutely amazing! Her kind and gentle spirit absolutely shows in everything she does. I cannot wait to travel with her on her Women's Retreat! It is going to be a once in a lifetime experience. We all have one life to live, and I want to live mine outside the box. This Retreat is a bold first step on that path.”
— Renée
Your retreat leader and facilitator is me, Beth Kruger.
I am a solo entrepreneur, yoga teacher, retreat leader, and mother to two beautiful young girls. I have been working with women since 2005 to help them discover their inner power. I love cats, vintage shopping, and french fries with mayo. I believe in authenticity and vulnerability and I mean what I say, and say what I mean. Sometimes that doesn’t work for people, and that’s okay.
Since I began leading retreats 2016, I’ve learned so much along the way—everything from roommate issues around body odor (EEW), to severe allergy restrictions around all kinds of foods (and animals!), to medical issues around digestion and elimination (funny, not life-threatening), to cancelled flights and loss of passports, to inappropriate behavior from clients who drank too much. I feel confidant that I can not only plan an experience that you will never forget, but execute it as seamlessly as possible.
I certainly won’t promise perfection, but I can promise you that I will attend to your needs, questions and concerns, and your safety and comfort is my very first priority while we are overseas.
