––––– EUNOIA CHAPTER III ITINERARY
Marrakech Morocco
October 14 - 18, 2026
Oct. 14: Arrival, Intentions & A Dinner to Remember
Welcome to Marrakech. Airport transfers will be arranged for you, bringing you to your home for the next four days: two private riads in the heart of the medina, side by side.
The afternoon is ours to settle in and step into the Marrakech mood with a pot of Moroccan tea.
As evening falls, we gather for the first time as a group. We will open our circle, share our stories, and set our intentions about reclaiming joy for the days ahead.
Tonight's dinner is something we have been planning for months, and we have a special guest joining our table.
Oct. 15: The City, a Woman Worth Knowing & an Evening of Words
This morning, choose your entry point into Marrakech: an e-bike tour through the living, breathing interior of the medina with an expert local guide (not for the faint of heart) or a walking tour that begins with one of the Seven Saints of Marrakech, the patron mystics whose presence still shapes this city.
At midday, we sit down with Nora Fitzgerald, Sarah’s childhood friend and nanny! She will tell you her story in her own words, what she saw, what she built, and what it cost her.
Tonight we stay in and enjoy a traditional Moroccan bites, Pajamas, and Poetry night. Bring a poem that has lived in you or changed you. Share it with us, and enjoy the magic that happens when women let their guard down completely.
Oct. 16: Slowness, Depth & Dinner in a Home
There is no agenda this morning. Sleep in. Sit on the rooftop. Let the call to prayer wash over you. This is the day the retreat breathes and we reconvene. Plans will unfold organically: a madrasa visit, a tea house stop, a stroll through the carpet market.
Tonight, we are guests in a Moroccan family home for dinner. This is not a restaurant experience dressed up to look like one. This is a table set for us by people who know what hospitality actually means.
Oct. 17: Make Something, Wear Something, Remember Everything
This morning we use our hands in a private workshop of a traditional Moroccan craft, the kind passed down through generations and increasingly rare to access. You will leave with something you made yourself and the knowledge of how it was made.
Tonight is our farewell dinner, and we are doing it properly. You will have the option to rent a caftan for the evening (do not skip this). There is something that happens when a group of women dress for each other, in a city like this, on a night like this.
Oct. 18: Departure
Head out to Marrakech Airport for your flight home, with a full heart.
Marrakech Madness
The Marrakech Airport can be quite hectic upon arrival and the passport/customs line can take up to 1 or even 2 hours to get through. If you’d like to avoid these lines and fast track through security, I recommend booking your Pearl VIP Pass in advance. Click below to learn more and purchase your fast track pass. You need to purchase this over 48 hours in advance.

Beautiful Thinking
Eunoia is Greek for "beautiful thinking”, capturing the essence of harmony and synergy while invoking a sense of empowerment and unity among women.
Equal Engagement
Eunoia fosters synergy and osmosis where each participant engages, discusses, and contributes to a nexus of ideas within femininity and female empowerment. With a loose framework promoting equal participation and a central focus, we cultivate a community of mutual support among strong, independent women, valuing everyone's contribution. Through shared trust and honesty, we harness strengths and offer support amid challenges. Every attendee is invited to lead a 30-minute session of a topic, activity or experience of their choice. Contact Sarah to pencil in your slot and topic.
Dress & Alcohol
To foster elevated thought, we synchronize our minds, bodies, and spirits. On Eunoia retreats, We abstain from alcohol, dress elegantly, and ensure our appearance reflects our internal grace, complementing our serene setting.
––––– EUNOIA CHAPTER III HOST
Sarah Casewit
No matter how many cities I have lived in or traveled through in the decades since I was born in Marrakech, this one has never loosened its hold on me. There is something in the light here, in the smell of the souks in the early morning, in the sound of the city waking up, that I have never been able to find anywhere else. The city knows me and I know it back.
Hosting you here is something very special to me. I will bring you into Marrakech the way I know it, through the streets I walked as a girl, through the doors that were opened to me by people I love, through the stories that shaped who I am. Some of what I share with you will be things I rarely talk about. That feels right for this particular group, in this particular place.
This retreat is also about joy and what it means to reclaim it. What gets in the way of it. How we are taught, as women, to treat it as something we earn rather than something we are owed. I have been thinking about this question for years, and Marrakech is where I keep coming back to it, because this city is not subtle about pleasure. It insists on it. The food, the color, the warmth of the people, the way a good conversation can stretch across an entire afternoon without anyone checking their phone.
I cannot wait to share it with you!
