SOULbatical Retreat
M O R O C C O
From the Medina of Marrakech to the Coastal Beauty of Essaouira
OCTOBER 16 - 25, 2026
Hi Beautiful Community,
I’m excited to share that after connecting with many of you over the past few weeks, I’ve decided to return to my intention of offering only one Morocco Retreat in 2026 — FALL - OCTOBER 16–25, 2026.
So many women reached out expressing a desire to join me and Fall felt more doable with more time to prepare — the Fall Retreat dates are already filling and we still have 4 spaces left to join us Fall 2026.
If you’ve been feeling the pull to explore Morocco with me — the creativity, the artisans, the souks, the culture, the coastal time in Essaouira, and the connection with the beautiful Moroccan people — this may be your moment.
You can find full details, sample itineraries, pricing, and testimonials on my website. And if you’d like to talk through anything before signing up, I’m always here and happy to chat.
I would love to gather another beautiful group of like-hearted women for this soulful, joy-filled adventure. If Fall 2026 feels like your season, I’d be honored to travel with you. ❤️
With warmth & gratitude,
Christina

“This trip gave me renewed energy and a fresh perspective which has enabled me to begin to find myself and explore an exciting new country and culture at the same time. I loved all the opportunities to be with, learn from, and support extraordinary Moroccan women doing amazing things for other women. I will cherish the memories of this adventure for a long time to come. An expertly created retreat to explore a new destination combined with art, self care, and time and space to come back into being me.”

Hi, I’m Christina Brown — your retreat guide, ceramic and visual artist, community weaver and personal SOULbatical taker.
Over the years, I’ve taken many soulful pauses and personal retreats to connect with myself, with beautiful cultures, and with the people I’ve met along the way. These experiences have reminded me of what truly feeds my soul — and they’ve shaped everything I now create and share in the world.
My intention behind these SOULbatical Retreats is to offer women the same gift — beautiful, meaningful spaces to travel, slow down, make art, and experience the joy that comes from genuine connection with themselves, with one another, and with the heart of each place and the people we visit.
I hope you will join me.
Throughout our retreat, you’ll be fully guided on a thoughtfully curated experience.
You will be invited to immerse yourself in Morocco - from the vibrant Medina of Marrakech, to the beautiful Atlas Mountains, to the whitewashed walls of Essaouira, a costal oasis. Such a magical experience.
We’ll spend time with organizations and artisans whose work uplifts women through resilience, creativity, and community—creating a retreat experience that is both inspiring and transformative.
"I’m so glad I jumped at the chance to explore such a magnificent city with Moonbird Soulbatical Retreats. Marrakech is truly a special place, and I already can’t wait to return.
Exploring a destination like this on my own would have felt intimidating, but Christina made it effortless and deeply meaningful. She’s discovered so many hidden nooks, inspiring people, and wholesome local organizations to visit and learn from. Every part of the retreat felt thoughtfully and beautifully curated — a balance of adventure, reflection, and connection.
I left feeling both grounded and inspired, and I can’t wait to explore more of Morocco with Moonbird in the future."
- Akasha (Morocco 2025)
“Marrakech was on the wish list of places to visit for my daughter and me, but we were hesitant to make the trip on our own. The opportunity to see this ancient and beautiful city presented itself through Christina Brown. The idea was even more appealing to us as a trip planned for like-minded women to create together, share and learn from each other.
We highly recommend indulging yourself in the sights, sounds, tastes and lovely people of Morocco with Christina. Our time was carefully and thoughtfully planned in a way that made us feel special every day. We wanted for nothing and felt like a Queen all while having so much fun! Thank you for the abundance of beautiful memories that we will cherish forever. We could not be more grateful for the experience. If you are asking yourself, should I do this? The answer is resoundingly, YES!.”
— Kathy (Morocco 2019)
You will experience hands-on painting, Moroccan cooking workshops.
One of our days will be spent at foothills of the Atlas Mountains for a hands-on weaving workshop and a home-cooked meal at Saida’s Berber House.
Learn the ancient art of Berber rug weaving, hear Saida’s vision for supporting women in her community.
“Traveling with Christina is an absolute delight! Her joy for life is constant! She is an excellent planner and a very patient guide! I highly recommend traveling with Christina on any retreat she offers.”
— Linda (Morocco 2025)
We will visit historic sites, non-profits, and tour beautiful Moroccan gardens.
Together we will experience a magical 2 days in the coastal haven of Essaouira relaxing, exploring the coastline, and enjoying camel rides across the beach.
This will be my 4th trip to Morocco and each visit has been a completely new adventure, revealing deeper layers of magic and discovery.
My deepest wish is to guide you on an inspiring, heart-opening experience that nourishes you and refills your creative well - mind, body, spirit and heart.
The invitation is for 8 women's to join this retreat to Morocco. If this invitation speaks to you I hope you will join me on this amazing heart fulfilling experience.
🌺
Christina
