Morocco Wellness Retreat for Women
Winter asks a lot of us. If you’re feeling tired, wired, flat, or quietly overwhelmed — this retreat is an invitation to step into warmth, rhythm, and simplicity.
Not to fix yourself.
Not to overhaul your life.
Just to come back into your body and start the year from a steadier place.
This retreat is for you if..
- you feel tired, wired, flat, or quietly overwhelmed (or know you will mid January!)
- your nervous system feels like it’s been “on” for too long
- winter has taken more out of you than you expected
- you’re craving warmth, space, and a slower rhythm
- you want support without pressure, fixing, or performance
You don’t need to be experienced in anything.
You don’t need to arrive feeling “well”.
You just need to be willing to rest.
If you’re nodding as you read this, you’re in the right place.
What makes this retreat different?
There are many beautiful retreats in the world. What makes this one different is how gently it works.
This retreat is guided through the lens of Chinese Medicine and Yang Sheng — the practice of nourishing life. Rather than pushing for change, we work with rhythm, rest, and the natural intelligence of your body.
There’s no pressure to open up. No expectation to “transform”. No fixing, forcing, or performing.
Just guidance, warmth, and space — so your system can settle and reset in its own time.
A typical day
Each day has a gentle rhythm, with plenty of space to rest. You’re guided — but never rushed.
Morning
We begin with Qi Gong practiced outdoors, surrounded by nature — waking the body gently and settling the nervous system.
Breakfast follows, unhurried and nourishing.
Later in the morning, we gather for acupuncture or your personalised Chinese New Year energetic guidance (depending on the day).
Midday
Lunch together, then time to yourself. Rest by the pool, book time in the hammam, wander, read, or simply do nothing at all.
Afternoon
Free time continues. There’s space to nap, journal, or join an optional walk in the mountains if you’d like some fresh air and movement.
Evening
We come together for a quiet evening practice, followed by dinner.
The day closes with Yoga Nidra — a deeply restful guided practice to support sleep and integration.
Nothing is compulsory. Rest is always a valid choice.

What women say after attending
I cannot speak highly enough of Jo and her retreats. I got on the plane to Morocco feeling sluggish, low, and fed up. I came home feeling like a new person. I've been doing my QiGong joint opening every morning, I've not drunk any caffeine, and have massively improved my diet thanks to how amazing my tummy felt when it was eating so many antiinflammatory foods and no sugar or starchy carbs the whole time I was at Tigmi. It was quite life changing for me, and I am already on the list to go back next year, whilst also saving for one of Jo's Spain retreats! ❤️

The retreat at Tigmi with Jo was out of this world. If you want some time to refocus on yourself and nourish your soul then Jo’s expertise will surpass your expectations. I’ve come away having fuelled my mind and body in the most
positive way, with wonderful people in a stunning location

Having been lucky enough to attend two of Jo’s incredible Chinese New Year Retreats I am now signed up for one of her one day retreats in the Autumn. I find it so beautiful and beneficial to start each season with one of her tailored retreats. I come home feeling so restored and ready to tackle any challenges. Next year I would love to try and do one per season 🫶🤞🏻🙏

About your guide
I’m Jo Darling — acupuncturist, retreat guide, and practitioner of Chinese Medicine.
I create retreats for women who are tired of pushing through and ready to work with their bodies instead. My work is grounded, seasonal, and focused on nervous-system support, nourishment, and living in rhythm with nature.
I’ll be guiding you throughout the retreat — gently, practically, and with plenty of space for rest.
Questions that often come up
Participation & pace
Do I need experience with Qi Gong, meditation, or yoga?
No. Everything is guided, gentle, and suitable for all levels. You don’t need to be flexible or experienced — you’re encouraged to listen to your body and move at your own pace.
Do I have to take part in everything?
No. All practices are optional. You’re welcome to rest, sit something out, or take time alone whenever you need.
Can I come on my own?
Absolutely. Many women attend on their own. The group is small and welcoming, with space for connection without pressure to share or socialise more than feels comfortable.
Wellbeing & nervous system support
Is this retreat suitable if I’m feeling exhausted, anxious, or burnt out?
Yes. The retreat is designed with nervous-system support in mind. Nothing is intense or demanding, and rest is always a valid choice.
How physically demanding is the retreat?
Practices are gentle and accessible. The optional mountain walk is just that — optional — and there’s no expectation to push yourself physically.
