Dance and Spirituality in Fez
An Initiatory Journey for Women Who Wish to Move with Soul, Roots, and Awareness
In the mystical heart of Morocco, where the ancient streets of Fez whisper age-old prayers and the body remembers the sacredness of movement, a unique experience is born:
a retreat of spiritual dance and feminine connection, guided by tradition, beauty, and inner transformation.
This is not a tourist trip.
It is an intimate, immersive, and deeply symbolic journey.
For five days, you will walk through the living history of Fez, dance ancestral styles with local women —such as the Issawa Sufi hadra, Gnaoua dance, and Moroccan shikhat— and inhabit spaces of bodily, spiritual, and sensory healing.
What makes this event unique?
Dance as Ritual: You won’t just learn steps; you’ll understand their sacred origin. Each workshop is a doorway to the body as a form of prayer.
Enjoy dancing as a pleasure.. Not as a discipline
Fez as a Temple: The entire city is the setting for this experience. There are no neutral halls—everything unfolds in ancestral riads, traditional hammams, and terraces overlooking the soul of the medina.
Feminine Gathering: You’ll share a circle of support, expression, and expansion with other women, in a small group format to preserve intimacy and authenticity.
Aesthetic and Symbolism: Beauty isn’t decorative—it’s part of the journey. Colors, sounds, textures, and flavors become part of a profound sensory dance.
True Cultural Connection: You’ll learn from Moroccan women, take part in traditional ceremonies, and access spaces usually closed to conventional tourism.
Includes:
Accommodation in a traditional hotel in the Fez medina
Daily workshops in Moroccan dance
Henna art, traditional beauty and healing with herbs, guided visits, and ritual excursions
Sufi dance and hadra ceremonies
Traditional hammam ritual of self-care
Local meals prepared with intention
Spaces for integration, contemplation, and silence
An Invitation:
If you feel the call to dance from the roots.
If you sense your body holds sacred memories.
If you seek a cultural experience that is also spiritual—
This event is for you.
Come to Fez.
Come awaken your body as a path.
Come remember that you, too, are dance.
Embark on a sacred journey into the mystical heart of Morocco, where dance becomes ritual and the body a channel for ancestral memory. Over five days in the ancient city of Fez, we will explore not only its streets and architecture, but its inner rhythms—those born of the soul, of silence, and of movement.
This cultural and spiritual retreat invites you to reconnect with your essence through traditional Moroccan dance—shikhat, Andalusi, Gnaoua, and Sufi hadra—in spaces filled with history and living energy. You will join intimate workshops, experience sacred dance ceremonies, and discover the feminine power of the moving body as a form of expression, prayer, and healing.
Every step will be an offering.
Every rhythm, a bridge to the divine.
This experience will be accompanied by rituals of care such as the hammam, intentional meals, visits to sacred ruins, and moments of contemplation on terraces where the soul can breathe.
This is not just a journey. It is a danced initiation into the deep spirit of Fez.
