Manira Palm – A Hub for Healing
Marrakesh
Amanda Kitchen of Pura Vida Holistic Therapies and Yoga and Patricia Shea of Patricia Shea Designs are thrilled to invite you to immerse yourself in our exclusive authentic, magical Moroccan retreat alongside like-minded individuals for an unforgettable experience. Embrace enriching activities, create lasting memories, and forge lifelong connections with kindred spirits.
Embark on the journey of a lifetime and escape to Manira Palm, Marrakech—an elegant, luxury eco-villa nestled in a serene, peaceful setting with stunning views of the Atlas Mountains. This is a safe space where you can nurture moments of peace and unleash your inner warrior.
Our retreat offers a unique blend of creative and healing practices, including mandala, and yin yoga, meditation, themed cacao ceremonies, mandala-making workshop, pranayama (breathwork), chanting, a “Detox your Life and Home” workshop, sound healing, embodied dance, fire ceremony, yoga nidra, and more. These experiences are designed to restore balance, clear energy blockages, and enhance your overall well-being—physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. You’ll leave equipped with the tools to navigate life with greater ease, grace, and patience.
This transformative retreat will help you heal self-limiting beliefs, recharge your soul, release trapped emotions, recognize and honour your true needs, and fully embrace your personal power. Are you ready to step into your power, reclaim your sovereignty, and radiate your light out into the world?
After an unforgettable retreat exchange at Manira Palm in Morocco in July 2024, where I connected with Patricia and formed both a lifelong friendship and an ideal partnership, we fell in love with this magical space created by Nads, as well as the vibrant culture of the country. Inspired by this experience, we are excited to host our own retreat here in 2025.
Located just 30 minutes from the airport, the luxury eco-villa offers six en-suite bedrooms, a spacious open-plan living, kitchen, and dining area, and a panoramic rooftop terrace—perfect for taking in breathtaking sunsets and stargazing.
Outside, you’ll discover an idyllic swimming pool, a nourishing organic garden, an enchanting tropical garden, a shaded seating area, a large BBQ (where tagines will simmer), and a tranquil yoga shala—all designed to inspire relaxation and rejuvenation.
Indulge in fresh, homemade Moroccan vegetarian cuisine, lovingly prepared by locals from the nearby village, using locally sourced ingredients.

Amanda of Pura Vida Holistic Therapies and Yoga is delighted to welcome you to this transformative gong relaxation sound bath.
A Gong Relaxation Sound Bath is a fantastic way to leave behind the pressures of modern life. The session will begin with some gentle drumming followed by the mesmerising crystal bowls and the Himalayan singing bowls leading into the powerful gongs. The captivating tones will lull you into a deep, restorative relaxation and your body will take what it needs from the vibrations of the instruments bringing it back into balance (homeostasis) which is when the body’s own self-healing mechanisms kick in. There will be a short period of silence and then you will be brought round with the tinkling of percussion instruments.
There are several health benefits associated with achieving this state of deep relaxation including lower blood pressure, increased blood circulation, balancing of the nervous system, reduced mind chatter, better sleep patterns. Some people gain mental clarity or feel very energised by the sessions. The session may even enhance your creativity and lift your mood if you are feeling low.
Some people also experience a reduced sense of pain, plus relief from symptoms of ongoing medical conditions and illnesses as the vibrations work at a cellular and molecular level. The sound helps to induce our natural relaxation response, taking us out of ‘fight or flight’ mode and into our restorative, parasympathetic state and puts us into an altered state of consciousness, altering our brainwaves.
In my experience, people with auto-immune conditions and conditions involving the nervous system seem to feel considerable benefits.
Participants generally leave with a feeling of inner peace, calmness and tranquillity and a reduction in stress, anxiety or worry.
A Gong Relaxation sound bath works on all levels of your being – mind, body, soul & spirit. The sound vibrations will provide a ‘sonic massage’ to your physical self and subtle energy fields, leaving you feeling relaxed, rejuvenated and restored.
What to wear: loose, comfortable clothing.
What to bring:
A bottle of water.
A yoga mat, two cushions and a blanket to make yourselves a cosy cocoon.
Exchange: £15.00.
