RE:CONNECT WITH YOUR BEST SELF
WHAT YOU WILL EXPERIENCE
Through movement, shared experiences, and cultural immersion, this journey goes beyond travel to create lasting transformation.
Step Into Courage
Many women arrive a little nervous—unsure about traveling this far or stepping outside their comfort zone. Throughout the journey, you’ll discover a quiet courage within yourself as you try new things, explore unfamiliar places, and realize you are capable of far more than you thought.
Build Meaningful Connections
There is something powerful about women traveling together. Conversations deepen quickly, laughter comes easily, and strangers often become lifelong friends.
Embrace Adventure
From vibrant cities to quiet desert landscapes, every day brings new discoveries. Adventure becomes a doorway to excitement, curiosity, and joy.
Experience Authentic Culture
This isn’t just sightseeing. You’ll share tea with locals, visit artisans, meet nomadic families, and experience the warmth and hospitality that make Morocco unforgettable.
Expand Your Perspective
Travel has a way of opening your heart and widening your view of the world. Seeing life through a different culture often brings new gratitude and a deeper appreciation for what truly matters.
Carry the Experience Home
The memories, friendships, and perspective gained here don’t stay in Morocco. They travel home with you, shaping the way you see your life and the world around you.
FOR THOSE WHO ARE READY FOR:
SOMETHING MORE
What happens on this journey doesn’t stay in Morocco. - The perspective, courage, and connection you discover here travel home with you.
1. From hesitation → to courage
Arrive unsure about stepping outside your comfort zone. Leave realizing you’re more capable and adventurous than you imagined.
2. From routine → to perspective
Step away from daily life and into a new culture. Return home seeing life with fresh eyes and deeper gratitude.
3. From strangers → to friendship
Arrive as strangers. Leave with meaningful connections and friendships formed through shared experiences.
4. From uncertainty → to pride
There’s often a moment when it clicks—you did something brave, and that confidence stays with you.
5. From “Should I go?” → “I’m so glad I did.”
Again and again the same thing is said: the experience meant more than expected.
Because in the end, it’s not just a trip.
It’s an experience that stays with you.
THE 3 PILLARS OF THE
MOVE MOROCCO RETREAT
SELF-
MASTERY
Meeting yourself fully—your limits, fears, and strengths—and learning to move forward in alignment with who you are becoming.
Clarity and resilience begin to shape how you live and choose.
PERSPECTIVE
& GRATITUDE
Gratitude expands as your view of the world widens. From that space, life feels different—your challenges, your story, your direction.
What once felt heavy begins to feel possible.
(RE)
CONNECT
A return to yourself in the middle of it all. Your body, your presence, your rhythm.
Through shared experiences, connection becomes the anchor for everything that shifts.
A UNIQUE APPROACH
WHY IT WORKS
This is more than movement. It works through the physical, mental, and emotional layers—creating deeper, lasting shifts.
It’s not just balance in the body, but balance in life: energy, clarity, and grounding moving in sync.
Time away from routine creates space for perspective. You begin to see yourself, your patterns, and your life more clearly.
Courage builds as you step into new places. Adventure unfolds each day. Culture is experienced, not observed.
Connection becomes central—through shared experiences, conversations, and presence with others and yourself.
The group becomes a mirror, gently expanding what you believe is possible.
Supported every step of the way, you are invited to grow from where you are.
SELF-MASTERY. PERSPECTIVE. (RE)CONNECTION.
What remains is simple: a lasting shift in how you see yourself, your life, and the world.

YOUR RETREAT HOSTS
Lindsey Brown (Owner/Retreat Host)
Lindsey grew up as a dancer and later spent years running marathons and triathlons, always drawn to movement and challenge. As her children grew older, she began asking deeper questions about purpose and identity. While living in Europe, a girls’ trip to Morocco shifted everything—her heart expanded and her perspective widened. She realized purpose isn’t something we acquire, but something we uncover by living the values already within us: courage, gratitude, resilience, and connection. That insight led her to create Move Morocco, where she now guides women through meaningful experiences that step beyond comfort zones, build real friendships, immerse in authentic culture, and leave them feeling proud, inspired, and more connected to who they truly are.
Michelle Oakson (Movement Expert)
Michelle is a movement instructor with a background in dance education who has spent years teaching in studios, schools, and group fitness spaces. Her classes blend dance, fitness, and yoga to create experiences that are both energizing and grounding, helping people reconnect with their bodies, each other, and the joy of movement. After traveling through Morocco, she fell in love with the country’s beauty, culture, and energy, and felt inspired to weave intentional movement and mindfulness into the journey. Her retreats are designed to help participants slow down, move with awareness, and experience Morocco in a deeper, more meaningful way. When she’s not teaching, Michelle enjoys gardening, cheering on BYU Cougars football, and exploring United States National Parks with her husband and four kids.
Through travel, I create space for what’s often unseen to surface—tension, emotion, and old patterns—and gently transform into clarity and strength. Because when we move with awareness and step into new places, we don’t just experience the world differently, we begin to remember who we are. Are you ready?
