The Spirit of This Space
Adios Comfort Zone is designed for women who are ready to step back, think clearly, and move forward.
It is not a performance.
It is not a place to arrive with answers.
It is a place to arrive honestly — with your real questions, your real situation, and a genuine willingness to look at both.
We ask every participant to honour that same spirit in the women around them.
Presence
You are here for a week. We ask that you are actually here — not half-here, scrolling, or working in the background.
This means limiting screen time during shared sessions, meals, and group experiences.
There is no enforced phone ban, but there is an expectation: that you protect your own experience and respect the presence of others.
What you take from this week will be proportional to what you put into it.
Participation
This is a guided experience, but it is not passive.
You are responsible for your own level of engagement — how honestly you show up, how willing you are to look at what's in front of you, and how present you are in the process.
There is no expectation to share more than you want to.
But there is an expectation that you take the space seriously.
Confidentiality
What is shared in the retreat stays in the retreat. This is non-negotiable.
You may speak freely about your own experience.
You may not share, reference, or discuss the personal disclosures of other participants — with anyone, at any time.
Trust is the foundation of everything that happens in this space. Please protect it.
Respect & Tone
Every woman in this room is at a different point in her life.
We ask for curiosity over judgement, listening over fixing, and honesty over performance.
Disagreement is welcome. Dismissiveness is not.
Boundaries
This is not a space to advise, fix, or coach one another.
We ask that you speak from your own experience, rather than directing or analysing someone else’s. Even with good intentions, unsolicited advice can take someone out of their own process.
Each woman is responsible for her own decisions.
Your role here is not to guide others — it is to do your own work.
The Riad & Shared Spaces
The riad is a shared home for the week. Please treat it — and the people in it — with care.
Guests are welcome to bring their own food and use the kitchen and shared areas. We simply ask that everything is cleaned up after use and that communal spaces are kept tidy and clutter-free.
While daily cleaning is provided, maintaining the space is a shared responsibility.
Please also be mindful of your personal belongings at all times, both inside the riad and when outside. Adios Comfort Zone is not responsible for lost or unattended items.
Dress & Cultural Awareness
Marrakech is a culturally rich and predominantly Muslim city.
You’ll see a range of dress styles, including more relaxed options in certain areas. We simply ask that you remain mindful and respectful when outside the riad.
A light scarf is recommended to have with you, particularly for covering shoulders when needed.
If entering religious spaces, modest dress is required — clothing that covers shoulders, chest, and knees.
Inside the riad, you are free to dress as you feel comfortable.
Safety & Awareness
Marrakech is a vibrant and generally safe city, but like any unfamiliar place, it requires awareness.
We recommend avoiding walking alone at night and using trusted transport when moving around the city after dark.
Guidance will be provided throughout the week to support you in getting around comfortably.
Alcohol & Substances
Some alcohol may be available during social evenings.
We ask that you use your judgement — this is a working retreat, and the mornings matter.
Illegal substances are not permitted.
Time & Flow
Each day has a structure. We ask that you are respectful of shared timings so the experience can run as intended for everyone.
Opting Out
You are free to opt out of any activity at any time.
We simply ask that you communicate this with the host.
Photography & Social Media
You are welcome to document your own experience.
Please do not photograph or tag other participants without their explicit permission.
If sharing content, be mindful of what may be visible in the background — conversations, materials, and other guests.
A Final Note
These guidelines are not about control.
They are about creating the conditions in which real work can happen — the kind that changes something, quietly and genuinely, in the weeks that follow.
We are glad you are here.
We hope you leave with something that matters.
