Many people are saying retreats are broken. Let’s fix them.”

And I agree to an extent. The retreat industry is overdue for a revolution.
We’ve glamorised escapism while ignoring the most important part: what happens after.

It’s easy to sell a temporary high.
It’s harder — and more important — to guide real integration.

If your retreat doesn't change the way someone lives after they return home, it’s just another getaway.

🌀 It’s time to go beyond the getaway.
Let’s build experiences that transform lives, not just long weekends.

The last two days of the SPARK retreat allowed us space to integrate the learnings of the retreat.

The last full day included a workshop around this which included some downloads for me about moving forward.

For a final dinner we went to Merlin's Restaurant in Ubud and were immersed in some round table Avalon magic.

My takeaways for you as retreat facilitators

💡Have them define why they are are the retreat and what they want from the experience
💡Plan the itinerary to suit your guests
💡Give them time to breathe during the experience
💡Make things optional - sometimes they need extra time to rest

These are just a few. As I travelled into Kuala Lumpur for just one night I've allowed myself time for silence as I embark on site visits in Marrakesh.

My biggest lesson from this retreat is be present.

When you run a retreat sometimes we look past the process and flow of a retreat. This retreat has honoured that flow and planned accordingly.

Today was about reigniting the spark of life. We had a secret event. Leaving the hotel at 7.30 am we we learnt that we were going to an elephant sanctuary. On arrival we were greeted by the most amazing and majestic animals on this planet.

Being with them at a place that cares for them was totally worth it. As a Retreat facilitator sometimes we miss doing things that are right in front of us. At a retreat in Bali where we go to the temples, we go to places that are more spiritually inclined. We miss the places that can also bring joy to those that are there.

I loved it but I also watched the women that I was with love it as well A strong reminder of connecting to our spark was so worth it.

Don't forget activities like this in your retreat.

I'm thrilled to share our unforgettable purification trip to Taman Beji waterfall.
This sacred Melukat ritual is believed to cleanse not only our bodies but also our minds, eliminating negative influences and infusing us with positive energy.

After the purification ceremony, we refueled with a delicious lunch at Bebek Tebasari restaurant, rejuvenating our spirits.

A wonderful day finished with a massage, shopping, free time, dinner and Balinese dancing.

A well planned day to reconnect to nature and self

Yesterday at 5pm we had our opening for the retreat. I liked it because it was not a complicated ceremony. A Balinese blessing, an introduction and an easy dinner. My feelings are that sometimes we over complicate what we need to do to welcome people to retreat. Do what your heart is called to do.

Our hostess had made sure we know that everything is optional. The day started with a reflection at 7am, breakfast, a 10am walk in the rice fields (I chose to rest as did another couple of women) then a workshop that set our intentions for the weekend and grounded us.

Then lunch and now a massage before we head to the Pyramids of Chi at 5pm.

Sitting here by the pool waiting for the retreat to start I have some observations that my retreat hostess Michelle had done so well.

As a host be there to meet the guests on arrival. Let them have some down time to breathe. Don't program in the welcome as soon as they arrive.

She had a program print out for me and a seperate welcome sheet that told me where to be and when. I've looked at it three times already so I don't miss the time slot.

For me I've arrived with a bundle of stress and now I'm just starting to relax. Potentially your guests will be the same.

Remember to let them breathe.

Why Airports Are My Favourite Part of Traveling to a Retreat

For most people, airports are a necessary inconvenience—queuing, security checks, and overpriced coffee. But for me, airports are magic. They’re the in-between space where my retreat journey truly begins.

It’s in the airport that I first feel the shift—the transition from the everyday hustle into something bigger. This is where I let go of the to-do lists, the routines, and the responsibilities of home. As soon as I check in my bags, I exhale. The adventure has begun.

There’s something about airports that fills me with possibility. Strangers from all over the world, each with their own stories, are passing through the same space, heading toward new experiences. I love watching people reunite, imagining the destinations they’re off to, and knowing that I, too, am on my way to something transformative.

Airports are also where I set my intentions. While waiting to board, I reflect on what I want from the retreat, and mentally prepare to hold space for the women who will be joining me. I allow myself to soak in the excitement of what’s ahead.

Traveling to a retreat is never just about the destination—it’s about the journey. And for me, that journey starts in the airport, where possibility hangs in the air and transformation is already in motion.

Today I am not headed to my retreat but a womans that I admire and supported to organise hers and I cant wait.✈️💛
