THE VIRĀMA RETREAT
THURSDAY NOVEMBER 13TH —— MONDAY NOVEMBER 17TH, 2025
MARRAKECH
VIRĀMA
the art of sacred pause
Escape the relentless pace of modern life and surrender to stillness.
From November 13–17th, 2025, we invite you to Jnane Rumi, an intimate sanctuary in Marrakech, for virāma — a retreat designed around the art of the pause. A deep reset for body, mind, and spirit.
Mornings are dynamic and energising, a chance to move, sweat, breathe, and awaken. Afternoons restore. Evenings invite you into stillness.
This is a celebration of rhythm — of listening inward, of challenging the body and softening the mind. Of finding space between intensity and surrender.
EMBRACE THE PAUSE
In Sanskrit, virāma means a deliberate stop — a sacred stillness before what comes next. This retreat is your invitation to disconnect from the noise and return to full presence.
Each day begins with movement — energising, breath-led, embodied. A space to sweat, strengthen, expand.
Afternoons soften the edges, through restorative practices and grounding rituals.
Every part of this journey is designed to support your reset — from dynamic flows to nourishing meals, from the quiet beauty of Jnane Rumi to the deeply healing rhythm of the spa.
Pause, reconnect, and emerge — more you.
THE VENUE
Jnane Rumi
an oasis of tranquility
Tucked away in Marrakech’s Palmeraie, Jnane Rumi is a design-led retreat where time slows and the body exhales. Surrounded by centuries-old gardens, the property offers seven en-suite rooms, two private pavilions, and a serene pool.
More than a stay, it’s a space for deep reset — with a hammam, spa, sauna and grounding rituals designed to release, restore, and realign.

THE NOURISHMENT
A retreat begins with how you eat — slowly, consciously, and with care.
Meals at Virāma are vegetarian, seasonal, and locally sourced. Inspired by tradition and guided by simplicity, each dish is prepared to nourish deeply — body, mind, and spirit.
Crafted with ingredients from nearby farms and infused with the flavours of Morocco, the food is as grounding as the practice. It’s nourishment designed to support your reset, restore your energy, and awaken your senses.
