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 and their own offerings. 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 and have the opportunity to be certified with a certificate of completion.
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.
Taught by women, for women. Step up to the decks, sister.

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?
There's no retreat like this out there.
OMG YES
the location

With with six en-suite bedrooms, an open plan living, kitchen and dining area, plus a panoramic rooftop terrace, it's the perfect place to host our Embodied Ecstasy Retreat. Head up to the rooftop at night for breathtaking sunsets and star gazing and enjoy the space outside during the day with an idyllic swimming pool, shaded seating area, and our very own movement shala.
