Shaping the Dream Retreat
When we start working with a teacher, the first thing we do isn’t look at venues or dates. We ask them to tell us about their dream retreat.
What do they want this experience to feel like? What kind of energy do they want to create? Who are they envisioning showing up—and why are they doing this retreat in the first place?
Some teachers are leading a retreat for the first time, others have done this a dozen times before. Some are bringing long-time students who want a deep, introspective experience. Others want a retreat that feels more like a nourishing holiday. The brief is where we hear all of that: it's our foundation.
We also talk numbers. Not just budgets, but expectations. Is this a premium experience or something more accessible? Lately, we’ve had more teachers asking for affordable retreats; spaces where guests can still access incredible experiences without the luxury price tag that so often comes with yoga travel.
And we get it—this world can feel exclusive. So we look for smart ways to trim costs without cutting corners. That might mean:
– Offering optional excursions instead of bundling them into the price
– Creating a tiered room system so guests can choose what suits them
– Planning during shoulder season, when the island is quieter and venues are more flexible
– Leveraging local partnerships we've built over years of working here, to get better rates on food, transport, and activities
Once we understand the teacher’s vision, goals, and guest profile, we start shaping a retreat that aligns with all three. It's not just about filling a week with yoga and meals—it's about crafting an experience that makes sense for this teacher, this group, and this moment.
It’s a co-creation, and we love being part of that process.
Booking and cancellation policy
Step 1: Plan a zoom call. This is where we first meet and get an idea of your needs. We also give some initial feedback on venues, costs, our services etc.
The objective of this is to do an educated search for you and give you information on alternatives based on our experience and your budget. No obligation from you to decide anything at this stage.
Step 2: We do an initial research and come back with alternative options/venues. At this stage we have a call, present you the options and try to address all questions. This search is for free. You take whatever time you need to decide if you want to go ahead and assign the job to us.
Step 3: We sign a form and get a 15% deposit of the total amount of the commission.
Stet 4: We start working with you to organize and finalise the retreat including a range of services as presented in our site.
Comission payment and cancellation policy: 15% on assignment (non refundable) 75% to be spread up to 9 months before the retreat (to be agreed upon assignment)
