JOIN US FOR AN EXTRAORDINARY 8 DAY TRANSFORMATIONAL ADVENTURE
Are you ready to start your intimate journey of self-discovery and transformation, surrounded by the awe-inspiring beauty of Morocco's landscapes?
Our retreat begins in the vibrant iconic city of Casablanca where you'll immerse yourself in the rich culture and history of Morocco.
From there, we'll travel in comfort to the breath-taking Sahara Desert, where the vast dunes and endless skies provide the perfect setting for reflection and growth. You'll spend time connecting with yourself and nature with our Bedouin camp for a base.
We'll then move to the ancient fortress of Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its stunning architecture and cinematic history.
Finally, we'll conclude the retreat in the exciting red city of Marrakech where the fusion of tradition and modernity will ignite your senses and provide an inspiring backdrop for the final days of your transformative journey.
Each stop is carefully designed to nurture your mind, body and soul offering a blend of adventure, reflection and empowerment as you reconnect with your true self.
- Do you feel like everyone else has it figured out while you're stuck wondering what's next? You know in your heart that you're meant for something more, but the path forward feels unclear?
- Decisions feel heavy, and self-doubt leaves you second-guessing yourself. Your dreams feel distant because you're missing the confidence and clarity to take that next step.
- What if nothing changes? Will you look back wondering what could have been?
- Now imagine waking up every day with a sense of direction - clear and confident in your choices and excited about the future!
- What if you could trust yourself, take bold action and finally create the life you've always dreamed of? Imagine having the clarity, confidence and freedom to truly love your life.
Yes, It Really Is Possible!
By joining us on OUR WOMEN'S EMPOWERMENT RETREAT, you will transform your life and leave a different person.

Our retreat offers you the space to pause, breathe, and reconnect with what truly feels like you.
This isn't just another retreat where you leave feeling inspired to change but soon find yourself back in your old patterns and routines.
Picture this: Camel rides through the golden Sahara dunes, soulful connections with like-minded women, and life-changing workshops that awaken your authentic self. All while savouring the vibrant culture of Morocco.
While there will be relaxation and fun, our retreat offers so much more. It's an invitation to release the stories that no longer serve you, explore the key to unlocking your true potential and transform your life to one that deeply fulfils you.
Rediscover your true essence, reignite your passions, and return home with a renewed sense of purpose and clarity.

I'M ANNABELLA
My mission is to empower women to lead, innovate, and thrive, transforming the world around them with their strength, talents, voice, creativity, and resilience. Years ago, I found myself seeking a way to escape the pressures and limitations I felt working in the legal profession. That journey led me to Marrakech, Morocco—a place of vibrant souqs and serene mint tea, where I discovered the tranquillity I needed and subsequently called home for 17 years.
Now, I divide my time between the picturesque Dorset Jurassic Coast in the UK and my beloved Marrakech. As a board certified Master NLP coach and clinical hypnotherapist, I'll help you unlock the confidence and clarity to break through personal barriers and elevate your success, just as I've guided countless women before you.
As a passionate advocate for women without a voice, I had the privilege of serving on the board of AMAL, a non-profit in Marrakech that creates opportunities for disadvantaged women to thrive. Married to my husband Youssef for 24 years, I’ve well and truly immersed myself in the rich culture of Morocco and its inspirational people, and it would be my absolute honour to share this with you. While also helping you to experience a lifechanging breakthrough.
Join me on this journey of self-discovery, where you'll release what's holding you back and step fully into your power. Together, we'll uncover how truly extraordinary you are in every way.
I am excited to welcome you to a retreat that promises transformation, connection, and lasting empowerment.
"What I like about Annabella's method is that it's quick and you really feel the changes in a few days."
- Ioana, London
"Annabella's open-hearted way to communicate and her winning personality made me feel comfortable and at ease."
- Claudia, Berlin
"I have gained significant clarity and a renewed sense of empowerment. I cannot recommend Annabella enough."
- Guilia, Zurich
AND I'M SELEENA
I bring a unique blend of adventure, community spirit, and a passion for cultural connection!
After leaving the corporate 9-5 behind, I found a new life in Morocco, filled with adventure and meaningful connections. I’ve dedicated myself to helping others—whether transforming education, creating immersive experiences, or planning enriching retreats. My deep love for local cultures and languages, paired with my experience in community building, allows me to navigate diverse paths and nurture lasting connections.
In the aftermath of the 2023 Morocco earthquake, I took an active role in recovery efforts, working closely with local communities to rebuild and provide essential support. This experience deepened my commitment to empowering others, particularly women, by helping them find their own resilience and confidence.
At this retreat, I’ll guide you on a transformative journey to break away from conventional paths, build your inner strength, and reconnect with your purpose. I’m excited to share not only the Morocco I’ve come to love but also the insights and community spirit that will support you on your own path to growth and empowerment.
"Your life will be so much better from experiencing Annabella's magic!"
