Imagine Her
​
You wake up fully rested, recharged and excited for the day. You're full of self-belief, set boundaries like a boss and ready to attract the best.
You look into the mirror and can't help but smile because you love to woman looking back at you and you're proud to be her.
You move with purpose and ease, knowing your power and worth.
You're connected to a international community of inspiring woman who you call your sisters, feel supported and seen.
​
-She is you after you return home from Uplift.
​
Uplift retreats were born from the love and freedom of women, the magic and gifts they secretly carry inside and my desire to see you shine your light as bright as the friking Moon baby!
​
Let's dive in
​
Perhaps right now your life looks more like this:
​
You're tired and scrolling at 2 AM because you can't sleep, again. And now you get stressed because you need to wake up for work tomorrow.
You're hoping to find an answer to why you feel so empty and numb?
Endless overthinking, brain fog, always busy and people pleasing. These are all symptoms of dysregulated nervous system and fear that keeps you looping and small. Staying stuck in it sucks the life force out of you and disconnects you from your purpose.
Makes your inner critic loud and nagging, always telling you ''you're not good enough''.
​
Let me ask you this, dear:
How long have you been saying I'll just wait for the next time?
Any time an opportunity to take space, invest in yourself, express, grow and do something new appears. That's your fear programming. Trying to keep you protected, safe and in hiding.
​​​​
And this is why Uplift was born.​
​​​​
Over the 8 days you'll dive into nervous system work, release fear, guilt and shame out of your body and clear your energetic blocks.
You'll learn to understand you inner critic and set boundaries , become kinder to yourself connect to your purpose again.
​
By the end you'll trust yourself & make decisions without spiraling.
Feel safe and connected to your body
feel seen and held without needing to be someone else.
​
By day 3 your worries seem lifetimes away:
Nomads pouring you mint tea with a big smile, endless vastness of the sahara desert, dancing barefoot in the sand under the milky way. Feeling connected to Spirit and seeing the ''next steps'' god has laid out for you.
​
Your mind is calm and inspired. your dreams and visions are clear and you're fully believing yourself.
​
You feel like a woman again. Wild, creative and free to be yourself. Full of confidence and Self-belief.
​
​​​Your in total ease with yourself-hair messy, your face full of excitement and your smile bright as the sun.
You were born to live a life you love. To feel great in your own skin and adore your body. To be expressive, creative and authentically yourself. To fill you pockets with memories and adventures instead of possessions and achievements that leave you feeling empty.
​​​​​
I see you sister. There's so much inside of you. And my job is to make you blossom into it!
​
Honestly, I can't even believe what i'm inviting you to be a part of.
​
It's the kind of adventure that cracks your heart open, fills it inspiration and freedom, and sends you home as a completely different woman in the best possible way.
​
​My dear. Here's what I have planned for you:​
​​​
The Journey
Day 1
​
Marrakech · Riad, Markets, ''Oh my god i'm so happy i'm finally here''
​
​
Arrive in Marrakech and feel like a queen, settling in traditional boutique riad. We'll say hello here, have a cacao ceremony, set intentions for our journey, head out for some delicious moroccan food and get lots in the colourful market of the Mdina (the old town).
​
Spices, jewellery, pottery, carpets, fabrics, smells, magical sights that make you feel like you're in 1001 Arabian nights..
​
​
Into the Sahara. Our nomad guides will pick us up and take us to their base camp in the Sahara.
We'll travel over the Atlas mountain range, have lunch overlooking snowy peaks as the Morccan sun warms our faces and holy smokes, the views will leave you breathless.
Night at the Berber camp, yin yoga, bonfire, drums, songs.
''Omg, I've never seen so many stars in my life''.
Day 2
Atlas mountains, journey to the desert.
​
​​
Days 3–6
​
​The Void
​
Morning sunrise somatic practice. Breakfast. And we'll walk into the desert. 3 - 4 hours of gentle walking daily (accessible for all levels).
Each day we walk deeper, unraveling a new part of Sahara, sleeping in traditional berber lodging. Dunes keep getting bigger every day and I'll tell you: desert does something with you.
Each day ends with gentle yin. Storytelling and dinner around the fire. Nomads have a very unique way of seeing the world. Understanding the desert and they have a capability to remind you what really matters in this life.
​
These days are filled with silence, laugher, joy, heart opening conversations and belonging. It's the days to meet yourself, allow yourself to be seen, held and celebrated.
​​
​
All the luggage transported. You'll walk only with what you need for the day.
Option to hire camel instead of walking for extra cost.
​
Day 7
Back to the Base
​
We arrive back to the Base Camp, soft evening yoga to unwind before dinner.
The final night brings a closing ceremony - a chance to honour the journey we've been on.
Saying goodbye to the desert and our nomad friends by fire. We'll have a closing ceremony, time for reflections, shares and integration all together.
​
​​​​
Days 8
Return
Morning yoga, breakfast and we'll head back to Marrakech. You return to the world, with your eyes glittering, caring a bit less about what is expected of you and more about what you truly want. The desert stays in you. The community stays in you. And you're ready to share that with the world.
​
And you take a piece of Uplift with you back home.
Over 8 days
You'll learn regulate your nervous system, release fear programming, get rid of stress and anxiety, clear your head and connect back to your power.
​
This is not just a vacation. Uplift is a transformation. Enter as you are: shy /beginner/ a bit scared/ doubting it it's really for me /excited or adventurous
Uplift will meet you wherever you are and you'll come out from the other side being kinder to yourself, feeling free to be yourself, inspired, creative and connected to your playfulness.

Airi: your guide & hype women
For years, I was the good housekitten. Perfectly put together : the right body, the right smile, the right life on paper. I was so conditioned by beauty standards that I lost touch with my body entirely. I had no idea how to receive ,soften and feel my emotions. My desires, my boundaries, my dreams. I'd handed them all away without even noticing. I felt numb af, stuck in my own life and carried a lot of resentment.
​
My nervous system was constantly on overdrive and I had no idea how to relax. My head was spinning with ''you're unworthy, you're ugly, you're not good enough''-all day every day.
​
Healing didn't come from dieting, more degrees or overthinking - it came through the body. Somatics and kriyas taught me how to release: to let the years of holding it all together actually move through and out of me, instead of living as a knot in my chest and blocking me from taking action.
And women taught me how to receive. How to open myself up again and to be held while I unravelled, to let another woman's hand reach for mine and not pull away. Women thought me how to trust and be supported. Sisterhood taught me that we're not in competition. In fact-we're here to help each other rise!
​
The Sahara broke me open in 2018. It's such a powerful place to fully release and connect to raw nature. Listening to nomad's stories, being part of their life, gathering around the fire to sing and celebrate every night-I remembered what joy actually feels like.
I remembered that I was wild. That I had been sucking my belly in for way too long and suppressed my freedom.
​
That time awakened a long forgotten part in me.
During the retreat I'll be guiding daily Somatic and embodiment practices as well as ceremonies and sharing circles.
​
All practices are inclusive, designed for women's body, cycle and nervous system.
​
Our desert guides:
The Nomads
Our time in the Sahara will be guided by a local Berber nomad family whose roots are connected to the desert. They’ve grown up knowing it's landscapes, rhythms, stories, and traditions . They’ll be the ones showing us the Sahara beyond the tourist path.
We’ll travel through the desert, learning how to read the landscape, move with its rhythms and experience this incredible place through the eyes of people who call it home.
We’ll also be welcomed into their family life: sharing traditional food prepared in the way it has been for generations, listening to their stories and experiencing their incredible music.
When the sun disappears, we’ll gather around the fire. Drums, singing, dancing, laughter, stars stretching endlessly above us. This is going to be so much fun!
​
It’s a chance to be welcomed into a culture, connect with a family and experience the raw, wild magic of the Sahara with people who know it by heart.

Right before winter
November 27 – December 4
​
As the days shrink and the cold settles in, we're chasing the sun south. Eight days of warmth, fire, and barefoot desert living - right when your body and soul need it most. You'll come home glowing, just in time for the solstice.
​
​
​
​
Trade the grey for gold
Stock up on light
Return lit up
While the world goes cold and dark, you'll be barefoot in the sand, skin warm with sun, watching sunsets that set the whole desert on fire.
Eight days of sun, firelight, and starlight. Enough warmth stored in your bones to carry you through the longest winter.
You come home just before the solstice, glowing, regulated and embodied. The cold months won't feel so heavy when your inner fire is this bright.
