Souljourn Yoga Launches October 2026 Morocco Desert Yoga and Adventure Retreat

Souljourn Yoga Foundation announced a 7-night/8-day Morocco Yoga & Adventure Retreat running Oct 10–17, 2026, led by founder Jordan Ashley, PhD and yoga teacher Joanne Silver, with a portion of each tuition earmarked for Association Amal. The GlobeNewswire press release distributed by Souljourn says "A portion of each participant’s tuition ($200) will be a tax-deductible donation directly supporting Amal’s programs, which equip Moroccan women with the professional skills needed to achieve financial independence."

The foundation is marketing early bird pricing starting at $2,975, available through May 10, 2026, and the program is produced in partnership with Itran Travel. Souljourn’s announcement lists private 4x4 travel throughout the itinerary including airport transfers, a dedicated female guiding team, daily yoga, and a full culinary program that covers all breakfasts, seven dinners, and four curated lunches. Guests will be provided with yoga mats and blocks and receive a signature Souljourn goody bag featuring products from Mad Hippie.

Accommodations span desert glamping to medina riads. Souljourn’s site describes the Caravan Serai Luxury Desert Camp where "elevated glamping tents with en‑suite bathrooms and hot‑water showers are nestled in a quiet pocket of the dunes." The Merzouga stop is at Riad Serai on the edge of the Erg Chebbi dunes, presented as "a boutique oasis at the edge of the majestic Erg Chebbi dunes, blending refined comfort with authentic Moroccan charm." The Draa Valley night is listed at Lodge Hara Oasis in Agdz, described as "a serene palm-fringed retreat set along the lush Draa Valley at the edge of the desert," and the Marrakech stay is at Riad Touda "tucked within the heart of the medina."

Souljourn frames the trip as more than sightseeing, using its website language that the journey "blends cultural immersion, adventure, & deep restoration, inviting us to slow down and return to stillness, to be held by the vastness of the Sahara and the quiet rhythm of desert life." The GlobeNewswire release also highlights "unique, exploratory experiences" alongside daily yoga, though neither the press release nor the site excerpt published a full day-by-day itinerary for the Oct 10–17 program.

The foundation points to organizational experience in Morocco through participant feedback posted on WeTravel. A review dated Oct 23, 2023 reads, "The retreat surpassed any expectations I had! The hosts were so thoughtful, knowledgeable, fun and kind! Every venue was beautiful. The trip was packed with wonderful programming that allowed us to experience Morocco and bond as a group." A recent attendee review by Cassandra B on Oct 27, 2025 states, "Jordan and Joanne organized the ultimate Morocco retreat! Each day was the perfect combination of yoga and adventure. I saw and experienced so much more of the country than expected."

Interested travelers can register via Souljourn Yoga’s Morocco 2026 booking page; the press release lists the organization as the source for registration and additional details. The GlobeNewswire excerpt does not include a full payment schedule or cancellation policy, so prospective participants should review the booking page for final pricing, single supplements, and terms before reserving a spot.
