Retreat Services
Satya Retreats offers planning & management services for Retreats and Cultural Immersions worldwide! We are dedicated to helping you provide an experience that allows space for truth (the word “Satya” in Sanskrit means “Truth”). A retreat can be many things…a personal journey, a time to decompress and relax, a time for reflection and transformation, a time to learn and grow in community with other people and cultures, a time for adventure! Our passion is helping to create memorable and life-changing journeys…a process that brings healing and growth through travel and education.
To “retreat” or to “step back,” is a way for us to slow down and reflect on ourselves and our lives. It is in this space where shift is possible. Taking the time to physically remove ourselves from our environments from time to time supports our ability to widen our perspective and turn our gaze inward. In a world where many of us are being pulled externally much of the time, over stimulated and stretched, the journeys that we offer allow for space and healing. We cannot change what we don’t see.
Should you decide to work with us, you will be leaving all of the planning and logistical work in our capable hands, so that you and your guests can focus your precious energy on the retreat content itself.
Our insight and expertise in planning special events allows us to anticipate needs, establish and maintain positive vendor relationships, and take care of the many logistical arrangements involved in organizing your retreat/cultural immersion.
We understand that each retreat is unique, and that each client has different service needs. We therefore are happy to offer options for servicing your retreat management needs. Because each retreat varies in size, content and destination, retreat service fees will be determined depending upon which service option you select and the destination you choose. Retreat size ranges from a minimum of 10 guests to a maximum of 75 guests. Satya Retreats offers a Basic Marketing Package, however our expertise lies in the planning & management of retreats and events. Generally, teachers and facilitators are responsible for filling their retreats.
