Dearest Roses,

I invite you to join me along the Rose Caravan - a long-held dream coming to life this April.

An 8 day journey in Morocco during Rose season,
traveling from the heart of Marrakech
to the blooming fields, river, and mountains of the Valley of Roses.

We’ll join together as an intimate caravan of eight women - opening a shared path of presence, beauty,
and connection with the land, the Rose, the culture, ourselves, and each-other
as we let the medicine of the Rose guide us…

Where we’re going …

Marrakech

We’ll begin in Marrakech — arrive softly, settle into our Caravan, ground + relax in the beauty of our Riad, awaken our senses, and prepare our hearts for the magic of what’s to come.

Marrakech is like a beating heart - alive with color, scent, warmth and story of the people and land. We’ll wander the souks, the secret gardens, sip tea in sunlit courtyards, and meet the beautiful people who carry centuries of plant and cultural wisdom.

We’ll also return here at the journey’s end, welcomed back in our same Riad home - to integrate, reflect, hammam, and celebrate our shared experience…

Rose Valley/Kelaat M’Gouna

From Marrakech, we’ll caravan together in a van, traveling five hours through mountain passes and desert stretches into the blooming heart of the Valley of Roses, where the wild Rosa damascena comes into bloom.

Nestled beside the river and fields, we’ll spend three full days immersed in the world of the Rose Valley: harvesting petals by hand with the local rose Amazigh women, making rose water + oils, communing with the land, and deepening into daily meditation, ritual, and Rose connection.

Each moment becomes part of a slow unfolding — a way of listening, tending, remembering, and being shaped by place.

Where we’re Staying …

RIAD JARDIN SECRET
(Marrakech):

An authentic, creative, and timeless Riad in the heart of the Marrakech Medina. A place to gather, rest, and awaken to the city’s gardens, colors, and life rhythms. Riad Jardin holds a special place in my heart, and the owners Cyrielle + Julien, and their staff make you feel like you are in your Moroccan home away from home. Every detail and every corner is infused with intention + beauty.
