If you’re a yoga teacher, embodiment facilitator, movement practitioner, or anyone who wants to up-level how they use music in their offerings or solo-practice — this retreat is for you.
Dancing is an ancient tool and spiritual practice. It’s a gateway to deep somatic connection. Dancing creates and inspires community. It shifts energy. It liberates tension and trauma. It amplifies joy. It awakens eros. And above all: it makes you feel so damn good.
Dancing is medicine. You’ve all felt it on the dance floor when your favourite song just hits right, or when the build up drops so deliciously you feel it in your bones, and you know you’re not alone… There’s nothing like a good dance and there’s nothing like the feeling of embodied ecstasy.
So why not learn to become a DJ and learn the skills to create transformational sets and share your music with confidence?
Over 6 days and 5 nights you’re invited to join us in a stunning venue in Marrakesh for a journey of feminine embodiment and somatic soundscaping. Your hosts Pip Wylde and Fiona McCoss will facilitate you through powerful somatic and embodiment movement practices to drop you deep into the body and creative current and SoundSisters will teach you how to DJ.

Together we’ll explore the bridges between sound, somatics, and spiritual practice
Explore the profound role music plays in shaping our emotional and energetic states. DJs, much like facilitators and space holders, carry the responsibility of guiding others through sound — creating a journey that invites presence, release, and transformation. It’s so much more than just a playlist.
This retreat is designed as both an embodied movement retreat and an ‘intensive DJ course’ tailored for beginners who want to learn how to create and mix their own music for ecstatic dance sessions. Over the course of the retreat, you will deepen your own embodied connection and go from understanding the basics of DJ gear and music structure to performing simple beatmatching – the first essential skill for any DJ. By the end of the retreat, you will have a basic foundation of DJ skills and the confidence to begin creating your own sets.

Your Embodied Ecstasy Retreat
a women’s retreat with empowerment and music at it’s heart.
Morning Practices
We start each day with a deliciously long movement practice. You’ll be guided through a 90 min practice to wake up the body and nourish the soul. The practices include intuitive movement, somatic yoga, vinyasa yoga and the loved sunrise blessings dance practice looking out at the atlas mountains, to uplifting curated music.
The sessions will be themed around the elements, each morning works on a new element and its corresponding areas of the body, from grounding, to opening the heart to fiery empowerment.
EMBODIMENT, ceremonies & circles
Connection & Ritual
Our retreat is a journey through embodiment rituals, ceremony and circles. We open the retreat on the first evening with an intention setting ritual circle, calling in what we desire for our our time together.
This practice starts with a cacao ceremony moving into free movement, into a deeply heart opening manifestation ritual with vocal activation. It’s sublimely freeing and primal connecting us to our innate movement and sound.
Every retreat we close our time together with a sharing circle and manifestation ritual.
DJ MASTERCLASSES & WORKSHOPS
Learn how to DJ with The SoundSisters
Every afternoon will be a 2hr workshop learning all the skills to DJ and create your own ecstatic events. The training is delivered by the SoundSisters, their workshops are grounded in collective learning, creative freedom, and a supportive environment focusing on demystifying the technical side of DJing, encouraging women to take control of the decks and finding their unique sound. With four afternoon workshops you’ll leave the retreat having completed the DJ training with everything you need to get started and playing.

AIMEE
Oh my goodness this retreat was everything I needed and so much more. Honestly I can’t express how grateful I am that Pip held this retreat especially for space holders and teachers.
I invested in this for myself after a big break up, a whole new world of learning, expanding and growth, what a setting, a crew, a vibe, everything was on point.
