Four nights · Two mastermind days · One final circle
Come to Marrakech ready to close one chapter—and decide what the next one demands of you.
September 14–18, 2026El Fenn · Marrakech, Morocco
01 · Why El Fenn
Because Vanessa Branson did what entrepreneurial women do at their best: she saw possibility other people missed—and built a world around it.
El Fenn opened in 2004 with just six rooms. Co-founded by Vanessa—a gallerist, cultural entrepreneur and Richard Branson’s sister—it grew under her creative vision into a Marrakech landmark where Moroccan craft, contemporary art and hospitality meet. She also founded the Marrakech Biennale, creating an international platform for contemporary art in the city.
The family connection is interesting. What she built is the reason we are going. El Fenn stands for something every woman in Red Circle knows: the courage to trust your eye before everyone else sees what you see. It is the right place for our final retreat—not simply to look back, but to make the decisions only this circle can help us make.
At a glance
02 · The rhythm
There will be room to think, time to talk without watching the clock, and one unforgettable day beyond the Medina. Every detail is privately coordinated for Red Circle.
Day 01 · Arrive & gather
No rushing into the work. Settle into El Fenn, let the Medina change your pace, and find your way back to the women who already know the whole story.
Welcome cocktailThe first toast on El Fenn’s rooftop. Come as you are.
Dinner at El FennOur opening table, surrounded by colour, art and familiar faces.
Day 02 · Mastermind & the Medina
Some conversations can happen anywhere. The important ones need women who remember what you once wanted, understand what it cost, and will tell you the truth about what comes next.

Dinner at Dar CherifaLet the day settle over dinner inside one of the Medina’s historic riads.
Day 03 · Beyond Marrakech
Marrakech gives way to mountain paths, waterfalls and desert light. Sometimes the clearest perspective arrives when you stop trying to force it.
Walk to the waterfalls, take in the Atlas Mountains and share a relaxed Moroccan lunch by the river, with a visit to a women’s argan cooperative along the way.
Ride into golden hour, then gather for Moroccan dinner under the stars, live traditional music and a fire show.
Day 04 · Mastermind & celebration
Insight is not the finish line. This is the day to say what you will do, name what you will stop doing, and let the circle hold you to it.

Day 05 · Departures
Breakfast, final hugs and departures. Marrakech ends here. The decision you made—and the women who helped you make it—travel home with you.
The final retreat · Marrakech 2026
What happens in Marrakech will not stay in Marrakech. It comes home in the decision you finally make, the move you stop postponing—and the quiet certainty that you are not building alone.
