What instructors are saying
This guide was exactly what I needed. I’ve dreamt of hosting a retreat but had no idea where to begin — pricing, venues, logistics… it all felt overwhelming. The Slow Retreats guide broke everything down so clearly. The curated venue list alone saved me days of research, and the partner contacts made it feel like I suddenly had a team behind me. I’m now planning my first retreat in Gili with confidence and so much excitement. Truly a gift.
I’ve run retreats before, but never in Indonesia, and this guide opened up a whole new world. It’s beautifully laid out, practical, and honest about what things actually cost on the islands. What I appreciated most were the recommended partners — from transport to local experiences — all vetted and aligned with the Slow lifestyle values. It’s rare to find a resource created with this much heart and professionalism.
The moment I downloaded the guide, I felt like I wasn’t alone anymore. It’s more than a PDF, it’s an invitation into a supportive retreat community. The photos, the sample budgets, the insider tips… everything made me feel grounded and inspired. I especially loved the add-on experience ideas; they helped me shape a retreat that feels unique and true to my style. If you’re thinking of hosting in the Gilis, start here.
