Fancy an adventure - inside and out?

 

Join me for a NOT-retreat!

Because you're not running away.... you'll be running towards! 

Towards fun!  A better sense of self.  Laughter, learning and a love for life again. 

This is a pause with purpose. 

To explore not just an amazing place, but where you're at and what amazing possibilities you might want. 

To expand your horizons and what's possible.

To exhale in my care, let go for a while and have some fun!

An 'Un-Retreat' Adventure

for women who want to 

✦ Explore ✦ Expand ✦ Exhale

Marrakesh, 8th-11th November 2025

Welcome to my first 'Un-retreat' for women who want to explore, expand & exhale.


If you're tired of all the obligation, responsibility, and doing-for-everyone-else......

Join this unique coaching travel adventure to start living your life in full colour.

I've created the travel/self-investment experience I wanted for myself.   Like many women, there is a lot of my life that is.... relentlessly 'doing'.   So I want experiences where I can feel myself as the fun, vibrant woman I am - away from the laundry basket. But I'm also so busy caring for everything and everyone, I also need space. Space to think and be.

So this  adventure is about having fun, experiencing being you, and having the space to reclaim your sense of self. 

You’ll feel alive in the vibrancy of Marrakesh, and come alive in an empowering space exploring where, how and who you are at this age and stage, and most importantly, what’s next. 

✦ What is Soul & Spice?

It’s a luxury four-day coaching adventure in the heart of Marrakesh, designed to help you:

✦ Reawaken your five senses in one of the world’s most vibrant cities

✦ Reconnect with your sixth sense – your inner voice, your truth, your spark

✦ Reclaim your sense of self through powerful group coaching

✦ Revive your energy, confidence, clarity, and joy

 

This isn’t about retreating. It’s about coming alive!

 

To explore, expand and exhale. 

✦ Explore

 Externally - through rich cultural experiences -and internally with coaching that reconnects you with what matters to you:

✦ Touch – Indulge in a hammam body scrub that sloughs away dead skin and old stories ✦ you’ll emerge feeling soft, refreshed, and very much alive.

✦ Smell – Breathe in the fragrant beauty of Jardin Majorelle as nature nourishes your nervous system ✦  to breathe in what’s possible

✦ Taste – From the juiciest dates to the flakiest pastilla, your taste buds will celebrate ✦ and give you a taste for what you want and need

✦ Sight –  vibrant Moroccan blue buildings, sunset rooftop views, colourful chaos in the souks ✦ and you’ll start to see clearly how you want to live your life ahead

✦ Sound – from the hypnotic calls to prayer to the rhythm of the Jemaa el-Fnaa square ✦ and start listening to your own voice

And most importantly...

✦ Your sixth sense – That inner voice you’ve been drowning out. That flicker of intuition. That quiet knowing about what you want next.  Your vibrant, valiant, vivid self.

✦ Expand

 

This isn’t just a change of scenery - it’s a change of state.


✦ You’ll expand your horizons and your sense of what’s possible.


✦ You’ll expand your sense of self by reconnecting with what you like, love, and long for.


✦ And you’ll expand your potential by starting to imagine a next chapter that feels bold, bright, and entirely yours.

I’ll help you expand your beliefs and what’s ok to want.

✦ Exhale

 

You’ve been carrying a lot.
This is your time to let it drop.
To stop holding your breath.
To be looked after for a change.

✦ You’ll exhale into a luxury four-day care collective where you’ll be pampered, supported, and held - by the setting, by the experience, and by me.

✦ It’s a pause with purpose.


A moment to ask:
✦ Where am I now?

✦ What do I want next?

✦ And how do I make it real?

Alana Kirk, Author of Midlife Redefined

Hi, I’m Alana - midlifer, brain untangler, and bullshit-cutter-through-er.

As a coach, author and speaker, I’ve helped hundreds of women hit pause on their chaos, figure out what they really want, and go after it with calm, clarity, and courage.

On this adventure I’ll be helping you connect to yourself, with group coaching sessions throughout the trip where we will sit under the stars in the desert, wash away our old skin (and self-limiting beliefs) in the glorious Hammam, explore ourselves and share with each other on our exclusive Kasbah rooftop balcony, and laugh, love, learn and lean into ourselves.  

✦ SOUL & SPICE ✦

Marrakesh, November 8th-11th

This is more than a trip.

It’s a vivid coaching experience for women who are ready to start showing up - for themselves. 

 

You’ll leave Marrakesh with your senses reignited, your self reclaimed, and a colourful vision for what’s next.

 

You’re not escaping life. You’re choosing it.

Day #1

We arrive in Marrakesh for lunch and to take in the smells and sights of the Jardin Majorelle before  travelling straight to the heart of the Agafay Deser; a camp where comfort meets the raw magic of the Moroccan desert.  You can relax by the pool, we'll share a tagine by the fire, dance under the stars, and wake up to sunrise over the white hills of Agafay. We'll be staying in the luxury peaceful haven of Yes We Camp which offers a timeless experience, between arid landscapes and golden light.

Day #2

After breakfast with an unforgettable desert view, we head back to Marrakesh.  We'll have the exclusive use of the Kasbah  Pavilion for the rest of our trip... a haven of calm amid the magical bustle of this vibrant city.  We'll take a carriage ride around the city, absorbing the sights and sounds, be indulged and nourished with a luxury hammam body scrub, followed by a festive and culinary experience like no other with a  Comptoir Darna Dinner and music. 

Day #3

We start with yoga (optional) and gather on our Kasbah rooftop for breakfast before a day of adventure, exploring and expanding and exhaling within our 5 senses and your sixth sense of self.  Excursions, souks and quiet adventures await, before gathering for a rooftop dinner with an expansive view.... as we try to expand our own view of our lives. 

Day #4

After our final rooftop breakfast gathering, there is time to shop and explore before we lunch at the restaurant of an amazing NGO female collective initiative called Amal that supports disadvantaged women by giving them world-class culinary training to become financially independent.

Then we leave the wonders of Marrakesh behind but keep the learnings and personal Aha's long after the sand has fallen from our shoes. 

Exploring externally 

The itinerary has been carefully cultivated by the Women Travel company to ensure you have your senses activated and inspired, without all of your time being overwhelmed.  While we have included some specific activities such as the evening entertainment and meals, the excursions to the Jardin Marjorelle and the carriage ride through Marrakesh, morning yoga (optional) and the lunch at the NGO restaurant, there will be plenty of time for you to have your own space, and shop in the souks. 

Exploring internally  

I will be weaving specialised group coaching sessions throughout the trip, often taking place before dinner or at breakfast.  All transport is in an air-conditioned Mercedes Sprint where we will also chat, explore and connect. I will hold group gatherings each morning and evening before dinner.  You will have a half-hour 1:1 online session with me before the trip and will receive your own bespoke coaching Life Journey Journal to be used throughout the trip.

This is so for me!

"When, I met Alana, I knew
immediately, I was in the right place. She gave me time to express myself,
and so many tools to handle the chaos. Her ability to relate to life’s challenges made me feel like I wasn’t alone. I've
redefined my core values, understand myself better, and am meeting myself where I am at while giving myself permission to just be!
Thank you xx"

Marcella 

"I love Alana’s style and the examples she gives are really ones you can relate to. Alana really  makes you think and prioritise. She also allows you the permission to self care and not feel guilty."

Noreen

 

"Alana got me! She helped me open up, helped me slowly and compassionately face many many situations that I had buried for such a long time. Alana guided me through difficult times. I can honestly say without her coaching I would not be as strong as I feel today."
