Uluru to Essaouira: A Retreat Across Continents with Annika Glac

From the sacred stillness of Uluru to the sun-drenched shores of Morocco, a bridge between worlds, cultures, and the quiet spaces within.

There are journeys that move you—and then there are those that return you to yourself.

Artisan of the Soul is a seven-day immersive retreat from October 11-18, 2025, guiding you from the spiritual red earth of Uluru to the wind-swept, bohemian coastlines of Essaouira, Morocco, and into the vibrant, sensory world of Marrakech. At the heart of this journey is Annika Glac, Australian yoga teacher, filmmaker, and creative visionary, whose presence bridges continents with grace and soul. This is more than just a retreat. It’s a curated portal to presence—a conscious, heart-led experience that weaves together daily yoga, soulful exploration, sensory immersion, and moments of sacred stillness. From the wildness of the Atlantic waves to the hush of desert sands, you’ll be invited to slow down, soften, and awaken your inner artist, creator, and seeker.

Our journey begins in Essaouira, the coastal gem where medina walls meet sea winds and the energy is both cleansing and creatively charged. Here, the retreat opens with breathwork, movement, and embodiment practices that invite you to release what no longer serves and root into what’s real.

Daily yoga sessions with Annika are held in stunning private riads and serene courtyards, surrounded by light, shadow, and Moroccan design that inspires inward expansion. You’ll experience her signature style—grounded yet poetic, intentional yet free-flowing—as it holds space for both deep transformation and ease.

Afternoons drift into shared meals made with love—organic, local, and full of flavor. There will be time to explore, journal, sip mint tea in the sun, visit souks, connect with local artisans, and engage in curated experiences that awaken the senses.

As the journey unfolds, we travel to Marrakech, a city of contrasts—vibrant chaos and profound serenity. Here, the pulse of ancient history and the mystique of hidden courtyards offer new invitations to go deeper. Think: hammam rituals, rooftop meditations, soulful dinners, and laughter echoing beneath the stars.

Created with Heart, Guided by Soul

Artisan of the Soul was created not only to transport you—but to transform you. It is a retreat with heart, born from deep care and intention by co-hosts Angela and Mohamed Mellak of Riad Botanica & Marrakech Retreats co, in collaboration with Annika Glac, whose combined Australian roots bring warmth, depth, and clarity to the journey. Together, they offer a space where cultures merge in harmony, where global wisdom meets local insight, and where you are not just a guest—but part of a soulful collective.

This retreat is an invitation:

• To pause.
• To be seen.
• To reconnect—with your body, your breath, your creativity, your voice.
• To rediscover what lights you up.
• To be moved by place, people, and purpose.

It’s for the wanderer, the creative, the mother, the seeker, the one who needs to remember who she is. It’s for those who long for meaning, beauty, and embodiment in equal measure.
