EJ, is a very special human! The trip to Morocco was nothing less than magical. She provides this wonderful mixture of Yoga, adventure, connection and directed time for self-care. EJ has this unique ability to make everyone feel welcome and supported. Meanwhile, this trip of exploration felt seamless. If you are even considering a trip with her, don’t hesitate and book immediately. And, bring a friend. My sister and I did this together and created more lifelong memories. Your adventurous soul will be happy you did!!

I attended the 2026 Morocco retreat with Sun + Soul Retreats led by EJ, and it ended up being one of the most meaningful travel experiences I’ve ever had. I honestly didn’t know what to expect going into it, especially since I had never done structured group travel before, but afterward I felt incredibly grateful that I said yes to the experience. There is simply no way I could have created something this thoughtful, balanced, and impactful on my own. EJ was absolutely the perfect person to lead this retreat. She brought such a lighthearted, positive, and grounding energy to the group while also somehow coordinating every detail seamlessly. She has a real gift for understanding what the group needs in the moment and creating an environment where everyone feels supported, comfortable, and included. The retreat itself was beautifully balanced between adventure and inner work. The meditation sessions, yoga, breathwork, and sound bath experiences were profound for me. What made the experience even more special was the group of women EJ brought together. There was such a strong sense of support, openness, and connection throughout the trip. Whether we were exploring, reflecting, or simply sharing meals together, I always felt safe to fully be myself. The entire retreat was intentional, uplifting, and transformative in a way that is hard to fully put into words. I wholeheartedly recommend Sun + Soul Retreats to any woman looking for adventure, connection, personal growth, and the experience of traveling alongside an amazing group of women.

A year ago, I went on an amazing journey with EJ and the most amazing women to Morocco. 🇲🇦 It was life changing. I’m an introvert & I felt love whether I chose to participate in group activities or process my own journey. EJ is one of the most amazing facilitators of planning simply fabulous adventures! 💕

“I had been following EJ on Instagram for about a year and had been interested in attending one of her retreats. As soon as she announced Morocco, I was sold. It was a bucket list trip I had always wanted to take, and I’m so grateful that I did. Every logistic was taken care of by EJ, she’s organized, professional and calm under pressure; something I value from a leader and someone I’m giving lots of money to. Traveling to the exotic location was just a tip of the iceberg for me, it’s what I’m walking away with the is truly the icing on the cake. I came into this retreat not knowing a soul and I’m leaving with a handful of women that I consider sisters now. We laugh, we cry, we explore and we get out of our comfort zones; leaving as stronger women with a sense of growth at the end of our time together. If someone were to ask me if I recommend attending a retreat with Sun and Soul, my answer is 1000%!”

This was the most wonderful week of my life and I will forever cherish and hold fond memories of it! You all are such magical and inspiring women and I feel like I’m leaving with a stronger sense of purpose in my life. I loved the strength classes, the yin/sound baths, the massage and Reiki, the MOST picturesque hotel, and being surrounded by such a great group. Kudos, kudos, kudos to all that you’ve done to organize this, from planning the schedule, to surf lessons to inspiring ceremonies. I will never forget this week and I will never forget you! I’m sad to live so far, but hope to share joy with you all again. xoxo

The most wonderful week with the most wonderful ladies. I know we are all still on a high from our time together, from our meals, our accommodations, the scorching heat of the temezcal ceremony and of course the sun and sand in our toes. Your attention to detail did not go unnoticed. I could not have asked for a better Thanksgiving week. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You filled my cup - xxoo

I had a wonderful experience at the Moroccan women’s retreat February 2026. The retreat offered a beautiful balance of yoga, meditation, sound baths, adventure, and time to explore Morocco — all thoughtfully led by EJ. We also had unforgettable experiences exploring Marrakesh and the Sahara Desert, which made the trip even more magical. Although many of the women already knew each other, I traveled solo and immediately felt welcomed and included. The atmosphere was truly about women supporting women, and I left with meaningful new friendships and unforgettable memories. Once we arrived in Morocco, EJ took care of every detail, which made it easy to fully relax and enjoy the experience. I highly recommend this retreat to anyone looking for connection, adventure, wellness, and community.

This place you chose, the experiences you connected us to, the perfectly planned out days and the beauty + love you brought together in everyone makes it really hard to leave. I love that I got the chance to connect and spend with w/the 3 of you. You will absolutely be seeing me on another retreat! Thank you lovely ladies x a million! <3

Trip of a lifetime to Morocco in Feb/March 2026. So easy - just showed up, everything was planned down to every last detail. Even meals were family style! I didn't have to make a single decision for nearly 2 weeks. Yoga should be a must for every trip! So nice to stretch and relax after a day of adventures. Highlights for me other than the overall experience with a lot of friends, new and old, were camel riding in the Sahara and a sunrise hot air balloon ride over the Atlas Mountains. I would go on a trip with EJ anytime/anywhere! Highly recommend is an understatement.
