Frequently asked questions

You book with the retreat itself, not with us. Find a retreat you like, send the owner a message from their page, and they reply to you directly. You then arrange dates and payment between you.

No. Browsing, searching and sending a message are all free if you are looking for a retreat. There is nothing to pay us at any point.

The retreat. Your money goes straight to them and we never handle it. That also means any question about price, deposits or a refund goes to the retreat, because it is their booking.

No. You can search the whole site and send a message without signing up. An account is only useful if you want to save retreats to a favourites list.

Use the topics. Retreats are filed under subjects like anxiety, burnout, grief, women only, couples and creative, so you can go straight to the ones that fit. You can also browse by place if the location matters more.

Yes. Tap the heart on any retreat and it goes to your favourites.

Straight to the retreat owner's inbox. We do not read it or reply on their behalf, so they answer you themselves.

Both. There are retreats across the UK and in a lot of other countries. Browse by place to see what is near you, or search a country you fancy.

It depends how long you want to be listed and whether you are advertising a place or a dated retreat. The packages page lists every option and its price.

No. You keep every penny of what people pay you.

Yes, and a lot of people here are in the same position. You advertise the retreat itself with its dates, rather than a building. You do not need a place of your own.

An advert for a place runs for the length of time you paid for, then you renew it. A dated retreat stays up until it has been and gone.

Credits bought now last 12 months from the day you buy them. Anything bought earlier does not expire.

Yes. Change your words, photos and prices any time from your dashboard. You can also take your advert down and put it back up whenever you like.

It comes off the site until you renew it. We email you 30 days and 7 days before it runs out, so it should not catch you by surprise. Nothing is deleted, so a renewed advert comes back with everything still on it.

Messages go straight to your own inbox. They are also listed in your dashboard under My enquiries, so you have a record even if you lose the email.

Yes. There is an add-on that puts your retreat in the retreats for sale section. You buy it from your dashboard once you have a retreat listed.

Yes, there is a free listing. It is a basic entry rather than a full advert, so it does not carry everything a paid one does.
