What To Look For In A Retreat Leader!

With so many retreats on offer these days, from jungle escapes to desert hideaways, it’s easy to get swept away by the scenery. But the most important part of any retreat isn’t the location, the food, or even the schedule.

t’s the person holding space for you.

The Facilitator Sets the Tone

A skilled facilitator doesn’t just guide a group, they shape the entire experience. 

Whether you're there to reconnect, reset, or dive deep into your personal growth, the right leader can make all the difference between a feel-good break and a truly life-changing shift.

Here are a few things to look for when choosing a retreat leader:

🌟 Experience: Have they had enough life experience? 

🌟 Presence & space holding: Do you feel seen and supported in their energy?

🌟 Integration: Will they be available for you if you need extra support? 

🌟 Knowledge: Do they have sufficient knowledge in the modalities provided?

🌟 Authenticity: Do they practice what they preach? 

🌟 Organisation: Are they organised enough to create and run a retreat with all the different factors? 

🌟 Professional:  Are they there for a holiday themselves or are they truly there to hold space and lead their group through a profound journey? 

Anyone can book a venue and call it a retreat,  but real transformation happens in spaces that are consciously held.

What does your gut say?

Before you commit to a retreat, take a moment to feel into the person leading it. 

Do you resonate with them? 

Ensure you watch video testimonials from their previous retreats and look at content available from prior events.

Don’t be afraid to ask questions, I always recommend to have a call with the retreat leader before booking.

I hope this helps you to make great choices moving forward.  

Health, harmony & highest vibrations,
