Morocco Creator Retreat
September 2026
An intentional space to connect, create, and be inspired
The Retreat
Join me in the golden light and rich textures of Morocco — from the vibrant souks of Marrakech to the blue alleys of Chefchaouen and the endless dunes of the Sahara for 9 transformative days of creation, collaboration, and connection.
This will be the 10th creator retreat I’ve hosted, and each one has become an unforgettable milestone for the creatives who join, sparking new directions, lifelong friendships, and collaborations that continue long after the trip ends.
This retreat is about more than just content, it’s about community and creative evolution. Together, we’ll share moments across cities and sand, diving deep into storytelling, exploring culture, supporting one another’s visions, and capturing the kind of media that reflects meaning. You’ll leave not only with new work but with memories, growth, and connections that last a lifetime.
Culture and creativity
With 4 days immersed in Morocco’s landscapes, from the golden dunes of the Sahara to the vivid souks and hidden riads of Marrakech, you’ll capture culture, connection, and creativity through guided photography and storytelling experiences.
Explore Morocco with 3 days in Chefchaouen, the iconic Blue City, where we’ll wander through winding alleys, learn the art of visual storytelling, and translate emotion into imagery.
Learn & grow through dedicated time for pitching clients, personal branding, and storytelling with guidance from your host and creator coach, Lianna.
Intentionally spacious schedule designed for both work and connection — not packed, but balanced, so you can breathe, share, and collaborate deeply.
This retreat is for creatives who want to:
✨ Connect with an intimate group of fellow storytellers
✨ Work on meaningful projects with support and collaboration
✨ Push their creative and personal boundaries in a safe, supportive space
✨ Leave inspired, refreshed, and ready to elevate their creative path

Meet your host
Hey there,
In case we haven’t met yet, my name is Lianna and I’m a creator just like you!

One thing that has impacted me more than anything is the chance to host these trips, and bring our community together.

I do my best to keep the cost as low as possible, I’ve been able to grow my business and I truly view these as a chance to connect and give back to our community. And, I cannot wait to invite you to join me on this next one!
Take a few minutes and fill out the application form, let me know any questions you have and what your most excited about on this trip!
I will be replying to you individually within 2 days of your application to let you know next steps!

Sincerely,
Your fellow human,
Lianna
