This retreat was just what I needed to step outside of my day-to-day life and refresh my perspective. Kelly and Val are awesome, and it was inspiring to spend a week with such a wonderful and supportive group of women. Marrakech is magical and vibrant, and the experience deepened my creativity, curiosity, and openness to adventure.

“If you want to expand your creativity in a beautiful environment with wonderful teachers and new friends, this program is for
you! The retreat helped me to voice my personal identity as an artist. The combination of being on vacation from my everyday life and the program discussions and activities, have given me tools to be more present and directional in my daily life.”

“Very good!!! What was unique about this trip were the creative experiences, the classes we took plus life affirming talks with Kelly. Plus you still got to shop and experience the culture. The food was divine! Never boring but we got a lot of down time. I loved the interaction with the locals.The most exciting outcome was that I experienced Morocco in a unique way. Taking classes with locals and
eating locally plus the coaching. It wasn’t limiting or confining because everyone was an artist or creative!”

"Our stay at Peacock Pavilions was marvelous. A great time to relax and actually be in the moment. Val and Kelly’s program was very inspiring and educational. I especially enjoyed the time we had to just Play, Breathe, and Create!I have often brought myself back to that trip and remind myself to “Be in the Moment!”Oh, and the camel ride. Did I mention this bucket list experience?"

Absolutely worth it. Kelly and Valori both kind, patient and talented. Time with both of them was excellent. Visiting sites that allowed you to see creativity and ingenuity. The garden was my favorite, could have spent more time to sketch. The block printing was a good start, gave me enough information to do some of my own when I got home.
Lodging super comfy, food: FIVE STARS! Staff: FIVE STARS!
