Created by retreat leaders
You hold the space. We help tell the story.
You put care into every detail of your retreat. We bring that same intention to how it is presented. Retreats for Me is an independently owned network of retreat leaders and venues, built around authentic, in-person connection.
Your experience, thoughtfully presented
Share the story, setting and people behind your retreat, with clear accommodation options and practical details.
A human review, from the beginning
Our team reviews applications for quality and completeness before preparing a retreat for publication.
A clear partnership
Understand the commission, cancellation terms and payment setup before your retreat accepts bookings.
Clear from the start
A simple 15% commission.
For bookings paid through Retreats for Me, our commission is 15% of the configured booking price. Your host share is 85%, before any separate adjustments set out in your host agreement.
Host FAQsExample: a $2,000 booking
- Guest payment
- $2,000
- Retreats for Me · 15%
- $300
- Host allocation · 85%
- $1,700
Payment processing fees reduce our 15% share. Refunds, disputes and any other adjustments are governed by your host agreement. Bank payout timing is controlled through Stripe; a host allocation is not an immediate bank payout.
Host FAQs
How can we help you?
What to know before you list your retreat.
How do I create a host account?
Select Create your host account and follow the Shopify sign-in prompts. With passwordless accounts, enter your email and the verification code sent to you. Use an email you can access, and use that same email on your retreat application.
Is this different from my retreat application?
Yes. Your account is your sign-in identity; your application describes a particular retreat. Create your account first, then submit your retreat for review. An account alone does not make you an approved host or publish a listing.
How does the 15% commission work?
Retreats for Me retains 15% of the configured price of a booking paid through the platform. The host allocation is 85%, before any separate adjustments in the host agreement. For a $2,000 booking, the gross commission is $300 and the host allocation is $1,700.
Are payment processing fees added to the 15%?
In our current payment structure, processing fees reduce Retreats for Me’s 15% share rather than being deducted again from the host’s 85% allocation. Refunds, disputes and any other adjustments follow the host agreement. Review that agreement before accepting bookings.
When and how will I receive payment?
Approved hosts complete Stripe onboarding with their identity and banking details. Payments allocate the host share to the connected Stripe balance; arrival in your bank depends on Stripe’s payout schedule, verification and any applicable holds. We do not promise an immediate bank payout or hold funds in escrow until the retreat date.
Who can apply to host?
Retreat leaders and venues offering thoughtful, well-organized experiences can submit an application for review. Initial online payment onboarding supports eligible US-based host accounts and USD bookings. A retreat can take place abroad, but payment eligibility must still be confirmed with our team.
What should I prepare before submitting?
Prepare your retreat title, location, dates, itinerary, inclusions, host background, accommodation choices, prices and available rooms or guest places. Gather photos you have permission to use. Follow the application’s media instructions; selecting a file alone does not confirm it has been uploaded.
Will my retreat go live immediately?
No. Our team reviews each application and may ask for more information. Approved hosts complete their agreement and payment setup, and we review listing details and availability before publishing or enabling bookings. Approval and bookings are not guaranteed.
Can I apply with more than one retreat?
Use the same account email when applying for additional retreats. Each retreat needs its own dates, accommodations, pricing and review. Contact our team if you need help keeping multiple applications organized.
How do cancellations and refunds work?
Your cancellation terms must be agreed before publication and shown clearly to guests. Contact our team to coordinate a cancellation or refund under those terms. Refunds can reverse host allocations and commission, and payment processing fees may remain. Refunding a booking does not automatically reopen its inventory.
Can I offer deposits or take bookings elsewhere?
The initial payment setup supports full payments. Deposits and installments must be discussed with our team before you advertise them. If you sell the same rooms elsewhere, agree an availability process or separate inventory allocation with us first to prevent double bookings.
Is there a listing or membership fee?
This page describes the 15% booking commission. Our team will confirm any listing, membership or additional service terms in writing before you commit. Please ask us if you need clarification about the complete fee structure.
