Check off your bucket list and join me for an unforgettable journey on this 7-night/8-day yoga, meditation, and cultural exploration retreat in Morocco.

Experience the vibrant tapestry of Morocco's culture as we delve into its rich history and diverse landscapes. From the bustling streets of Marrakech to the tranquil shores of Essaouira, we'll immerse ourselves in the essence of this captivating country.

Throughout the retreat, I'll guide daily yoga and meditation sessions, blending movement practice with self-reflection and contemplation. Dive deep into Moroccan culture with our curated excursions, including guided tours of Essaouira's historic medina, visits to a women's Argan oil cooperative, Moroccan cooking classes, and a camel ride along the beach.

Indulge in ample free time to explore the enchanting walled cities of Essaouira and Marrakech, discover hidden treasures in bustling souks, or relax with optional activities like palace visits, museum tours, botanical garden strolls, and even surfing lessons. Treat yourself to rejuvenating massages and hammam rituals for a truly immersive experience.

Our accommodations offer the perfect blend of comfort and convenience, with centrally located hotels in Marrakech and the serene 4-star Essaouira Lodge just a short shuttle ride from the medina and beach.

Join us with SolSeed Retreats for an unforgettable adventure filled with self-discovery, cultural immersion, and rejuvenation in the heart of Morocco. Check out the detailed itinerary below for more trip highlights and information.

Check out our new interview with Minuvida Azores, where we chat about retreats, and give tips on practices that retreat leaders can dive into now, so that they are prepared to sell & launch their next trip when the timing is right. 😎

Itching to travel again? As retreat organizers and experts in the wellness travel biz, Kristin and Ian of SolSeed Retreats give us some great insight about what travel looks like and the kinds of meaningful, transformative trips people are going to be interested in taking.

“Coming off of a year of introspection is going to lead to some profound travel experiences across the board.”

​If you have or are planning to have any kind of event you’re not going to want to miss their “must have sales and marketing tips” based on their knowledge of working with retreat leaders around the world.

​Ian shares with us some tangible tools on things you can do TODAY to make sure that when we can travel again, you’ve got a head start on the process.

Using this downtime in our business to slowly but surely update our website. If you've ever wondered how SolSeed got its start, Kristin & Ian now have a bio up that you can read (link below). Enjoy! 😎

Kristin and Ian met in late 2009, and in the winter of 2010, traveled to Nicaragua, where they spent nearly 6 months traveling and exploring, dreaming of one day owning their own surf and yoga retreat center. Upon their return to the United States in the summer of 2010, Kristin started working as a....

Thank you for Rick Steves for so perfectly articulating our thoughts.

We can’t wait to get back to traveling abroad, too, and are feeling much more hopeful for that to happen in 2021 with Biden and Harris leading our country. 🙏🇺🇸

This has been a rough year. For many of us, it’s been the most challenging of our entire lives. But this morning, we finally got news of a brighter future. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are moving into the White House.

It’s been a hard-fought, and unprecedentedly ugly, campaign season. But I have supported Joe and Kamala because I am inspired by their persistence in keeping a hopeful eye to the future, with a realistic and patient view of the present.
Rick Steves' Europe has a full slate of European tours all locked, loaded, and ready to book for 2021. But we’re holding off on taking sign-ups...because, like the president-elect (and unlike the president-unelect), we recognize that we’re not yet out of the woods of this pandemic. Anyone who knows me can tell you that I am not a patient person. But, like so many other things in 2020, being patient is something I am discovering for the first time...and I find that patience feels right.

COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, and deaths are going up across the USA. And they’re going up across Europe, too. Europe is responding thoughtfully, with tightening restrictions and strong public messaging. America’s response has — so far — been no response at all…or flat out denial. If we want to get traveling in 2021, we have to hunker down and be safe over the next few months. Obviously, we all want our economy to be open and to thrive. Artful, smart, and temporary degrees of “shut down” may well be our best path to that open and thriving economy. Our soon-to-be-former president has made no indication of understanding that. But our next president certainly does. And that’s just one of many reasons I’m happy with the results of this election. And why, if you’re hoping to go to Europe any time soon, you should be, too.

One more note: I am sure many of you disagree with my politics — and I may disagree with yours. But, if you follow me on Facebook, I assume we are united by a love of travel. If you feel I’ve abused my “bully pulpit” the last month or so, I hope you’ll understand it’s because I love this country and desperately want to see us back on an equal footing with the rest of our planet. Every election, I have a strong preference of candidate — though normally I respect the other guy. (And, it must be noted, it’s always been a guy.) But this year, it was personal. I felt that supporting the Biden/Harris ticket was a nonpartisan act of patriotism. It was for the resilient (yet, as we’ve learned, not indestructible) ideals of what America stands for — ideals that inspire lovers of freedom and democracy and justice throughout the rest of the world.

While millions more voted for Biden, about 48% of our country did vote for Trump. One of my many dreams for 2021 is that the GOP can be reclaimed from the hateful, chaotic fringe of the Trump movement and restore respect and civility to our national discourse. Even as a proud Democrat, I have always respected Republicans. (And, as I recently confessed, I even voted for Ronald Reagan in 1980.) I have many Republican friends who I consider good people, admirable patriots, and great travelers. We’ve always found plenty of common ground, even if we agree to disagree on the issues. And I’m hopeful that the Biden Administration will be a time of national reconciliation — an opportunity to recognize that far more unites us than divides us. That’s especially important during a crisis.

And so, congratulations to Joe and Kamala! Now...get to work. Keep us safe. Spearhead the building of a sustainable and just economy. Make us proud. With your leadership, America’s gonna keep on travelin’!

We know we haven’t been very active on this platform the last couple of months. We want you to know that we’re still here, but have been taking some much needed time off to process how we’re going to move forward as a fitness travel company in the midst of this unprecedented, international pandemic. A pandemic that has completely uprooted both the fitness and travel industries.
International travel has, and always will be, who we are at our core. 💚 We wholeheartedly believe in the importance and life changing benefits of international travel. And while we so badly want to support our amazing vendors in the 6 countries that we currently run retreats in, we know we can’t realistically return to these locations until it’s safe, accessible, and permitted to do so. 😔
That being said, we’ve been asked by many of our retreat leaders and attendees if we will offer DOMESTIC RETREATS in the future. We are planning to start scouting domestic locations this summer, and need your help in deciding which ones to focus on! Please check out our stories today and weigh in on which domestic locations you’re interested in. Feel free to comment below, too! Thanks in advance for your input, it means a lot. 🙏
