Learn how to create & lead world class retreats
Hello and welcome to Retreat Creators
We are Jean Hall and Jools Sampson, retreat experts and conscious travellers, who have been creating and running retreats for over twenty years. We are excited to share our world class Retreat Creator programme with you. This is an immersive course for anyone interested in designing and leading retreats, elevating their leadership skills and learning more about positive impact trips and sustainable travel. We offer this course once a year to a maximum of fourteen people – we will coach and support each of you through the process of creating and launching your retreat.
Retreats are transformative. They are a two directional journey: outwards into the wide world and inwards to our inner life. They offer the opportunity for growth and change as we immerse in nature, adventure and like-minded community, whilst at the same time having space to reflect and attune.
Jean is a yoga teacher, teacher trainer and author who has been teaching and leading retreats since 1998 and Jools created Reclaim Yourself Retreats in 2005. Between us we have retreated with over 6000 people in more than 45 countries. Our retreat experiences range from wellness adventures to yoga, restorative, silent, cooking and cultural retreats and we take our love of transformational travel and practices into the world with care and compassion.
So here we are, the Retreat Creators, here to guide, advise and support new retreat leaders to do equally enriching, life-affirming work.
- Do you want to start running your own retreats and learn how to do it step by step?
- Do you already run retreats and want to elevate and upskill what you do?
- Do you want to learn about transformational retreat design and create impactful experiences for your guests?
- Do you want to know more about retreat leadership and supporting people on their journey of self discovery?
- Do you want to learn about managing your carbon footprint and having a positive impact?
- Do you want to work in beautiful and extraordinary places?
“There have been very few courses that have made a significant impact on my business and I can honestly say this course is one of the best decisions I have made. Jools and Jean are so generous with their time, sharing invaluable information, advice and resources. I now have the clarity and knowledge I need to lead retreats in line with my values and the added bonus of an amazing group of fellow retreat creators that will always have my back.”
