What Makes this Week so Special

Each day combines focused vocal sessions, group singing, and personal feedback with time to relax, connect, and draw inspiration from the rhythms of Dar Drouj and the vibrant streets of Fez.

Your Singing Journey

Each day includes focused vocal sessions led by Daphne, where you'll explore technique, breathwork, interpretation, and the joy of singing in a group. Whether you're a beginner or simply out of practice, the sessions are designed to be supportive and energising — with plenty of one-on-one feedback to help you grow in confidence and discover your own sound.
Beyond the Music
Outside the sessions, there's plenty of time to slow down and enjoy the magic of Fez. Wander the medina’s winding alleys, meet local artisans, and take part in gentle cultural excursions that deepen your connection to this inspiring city. You’ll also have time to rest, journal, and simply enjoy the rhythm of the house and the company of fellow participants.
A Place to Call Home
You’ll be staying at Dar Drouj, a beautifully restored 14th-century home in the heart of the medina. With quiet corners, a sunlit atrium, and a rooftop terrace overlooking the city, the house offers comfort, calm, and space to create. It’s the kind of place where conversations flow easily, meals are shared with joy, and inspiration is always close by.
