During this week in the Ourika valley, at the foothills of the Atlas, the participants will combine moments of relaxation and peace with yoga sessions and artistic discoveries.

All meals are cooked with fresh local produce and will be a culinary experience in itself. The activities will take place according to the program detailed below. A cultural tour of the city of Marrakech and a hiking day in the Atlas will be included so as to discover the traditional life of Berber villages. The Ourika valley is full of cultural, recreational and 'nature' activities. Depending on the desires of the participants, activities will be offered on an optional basis: visit of a saffron plantation or a botanical garden, the Berber souk, hiking in the Atlas, the local hammam, bread making with the women of the village, etc.

4 Bab Zouina An ode to nature Bab Zouina is a beautiful traditional Moroccan villa situated in the Ourika Valley (30 km from Marrakesh). Far from urban stress, Bab Zouina has kept an authentic and serene spirit, respectful of the environment; the main house is ecologically built with cut stone and the new buildings with natural mud bricks. The material used is entirely traditional: tadellakt on the wall, zellij on the floor and cedar and acacia for the woodwork. The guest rooms are spacious and authentic: carpets, cushions, traditional crafts, and a bed futon according to Berber tradition. The estate is full of terraces and peaceful places to recharge your batteries. The botanical and aromatic gardens surrounding the property give the place a poetic charm and invite to a gentle meditation. The amazing Swedish artist and landscape designer, Catharina von Unge, conceived and designed the ornamental garden surrounding the property. She managed to combine British aesthetic taste with rusticity and simplicity of the place. With the Mexican corner and its incredible varieties of cactuses, Catharina dares to hint at the Majorelle garden by Yves Saint Laurent and the neighboring garden by André Heller.
