journeys of rest, creativity, belonging & becoming

a gathering place for retreats

This page is a gathering place for retreats that feel thoughtful, well-held, and aligned with the kind of experiences I believe in: spacious, inclusive, gently transformational, and rooted in real care.

Retreats that are held in the UK, or further afield ...

Retreats that are held in the UK, just for a day ...

Retreats that are held online ... for half a day, a full day or whole weekends

You’ll find a mix here:
∞ retreats I host and facilitate myself
∞ retreats I am co-creating with people I trust
∞ retreats I simply love, and happily share because they offer something special

Every retreat shared here has passed a simple inner check for me:
• would I happily attend this myself?
• would I recommend it to someone I care about?

looking for the right retreat for you?

SOMETIMES THE HARDEST PART ISN'T CHOOSING A RETREAT ...

It’s about knowing what kind of experience would actually nourish you the best. Do you dream of
∞ wilderness or sea air?
∞ creative immersion or gentle restoration?
∞ adventures with soul, or deep rest with beauty?


WHAT KIND OF RETREAT EXPERIENCE WOULD BE A GOOD FIT?
Your energy, access needs, pace, budget ...  and what kind of experience are you truly craving?

Are you seeking
∞ finding experiences that sit a little off the beaten path?*
∞ curated retreat recommendations?
∞ tailored travel support around a retreat you are joining?

*I know exactly where to look for those - meaningful, personal, and beautifully different!

If you are feeling drawn to retreating but not sure what shape that should take, I would be delighted to help you explore what feels most supportive and affirming for you.

MY RETREAT EXPERIENCE

I attended many different kinds of retreats over the years:
∞ creative retreats
∞ healing retreats
∞ laughter yoga retreats
∞ meditation retreats
∞ yoga and breathwork retreats
∞ wellness retreats

I have also organised and led retreats, co-facilitated retreats, and supported retreat leaders.

As an independent travel advisor (UK - ABTA and ATOL-protected) and a certified Inclusivity Advisor, together with my retreat experience from the last 3 decades, I am confident I can help you find (or design) a retreat experience that is perfect for you.

for retreat organisers and facilitators

If you are someone who holds retreats - or is dreaming a retreat into being ... I see you.  

Retreats are beautiful, complex creations. They hold logistics, care, safety, access, energy, and a lot of unseen emotional energy, work and time.

I work with retreat facilitators and organisers behind the scenes to help shape experiences that feel spacious, inclusive, and genuinely supportive for the people attending, and helping them to avoid burnout, or make costly errors.  

If you are curious about collaborating, co-creating, or simply having a thoughtful conversation about what you are creating, I’d love to hear from you.  

This page is about retreats: there’s a separate space where I share more about how I support facilitators and organisers [here] but if something in you is already stirring, you are warmly invited to reach out ... let's have a virtual cuppa together.

In full transparency: some of the links I share on Glow Well Compass (book recommendations, events, retreats, courses ... all kinds of things that I genuinely love) are affiliate links. What that means is, if you choose to buy something through those links, I may receive a small thank-you commission for sharing. I only share things here that I believe you will find useful, interesting or would love; things that I would genuinely recommend to anyone, irrespective of whether I was an affiliate or not.
