Are you a yoga or wellness coach, a professional development trainer, a creative professional, a business coach or just someone with a valuable skill set and experience that you'd love to package and offer on a retreat?

Would you love to take your clients on a retreat and really serve them - but have abandoned the idea because it's just too hard to make happen?

If you want to host meaningful, small-group retreats — but don’t have the time or resources to organise them alone, Unplug&Connect is for you.

We handle absolutely everything: from planning to booking, payment processing to venue coordination and logistics, catering, guest management, and on-site hosting, videography, retreat content packaging... the list goes on.

You do the magic. We do the rest.

We love intimate, connection-focused retreats — where people share meals, experiences, and genuine time together. But you'll also find us behind the scenes at large scale, epic Experiences, too.

Like our name suggests: we help event leaders and their participants unplug (no small feat in our day and age!) And then we create exactly the right setting for them to connect.

Our clients run a wide range of programs: yoga, body awareness and health, leadership, creative arts, personal development, well-being, communication, team-building and mindfulness (and pretty much anything else you can think of).

If you do the magic that helps people grow, connect and discover, we'll do the work behind the scenes to make it possible.

It’s beautifully simple:

You tell us about your retreat idea — your audience, group size, your theme, and your ideal setting (take a look at our gallery of carefully selected venues).

We bring together a retreat project for you - we match you with the perfect venue and secure the booking for you (we handle all the comms). Then we help shape your itinerary, meals, and logistics.

We set up your unique retreat hub page on our platform - this portal becomes your dedicated digital retreat space, a place where you and your guests do everything they need to do before, during and after the retreat.

We manage everything - bookings, payments, pre-retreat updates, waivers and disclaimers, and all guest communications through our integrated system, so you don’t have to.

We co-host your retreat — In most cases, we actually go with you to the retreat venue and handle everything behind the scenes while you lead. And by "everything" we mean "everything."

(Do you mind if we say this again?) You do the magic. We (truly) do the rest.

Actually, take a look at our gallery in the Our Venues section on this site.

You'll see that they're all authentic, atmospheric, and rooted in nature — from forest hamlets in Transylvania to villas in Cyprus, from gracious Scottish manor houses to desert lodges in Jordan (these places really get you unplugged!)

They’re not generic hotels or corporate centres — they’re places with soul, where connection happens naturally. Long tables. Open fires. Suddenly appearing batches of muffins. We've purposely stayed away from the beaten track and have (after rather a lot of searching) gathered a selection of places with soul (most places we see don't have it).

How do we know? We've been to each location and stayed there ourselves. We've visited them, slept in the beds, sat at the tables, sat by the fires. They're tested and handpicked by us so we're sure they will help you and your guests actually unplug. And actually connect.

Yes — actually we love doing that.

And we understand that most coaches and trainers - while they might excel at what they do at home - are unsure how to package all of that passion, knowledge and experience and turn it into a 3- or 5- day retreat.

We’ll help you craft a flow that balances depth, rest, and connection — so your participants leave transformed and nourished.

(We even run a free webinar, “From Idea to Itinerary,” to help you start designing it).

We specialize in small groups — typically 6 to 12 participants.

We think that’s the sweet spot for intimacy, conversation, and meaningful human connection and we find that smaller retreats tend to have the greatest impact.

Larger groups can be arranged, though, so talk to us about that, if you think you'd have a larger group.

We knew you'd ask this one! And rightly so. Because it does all come down to what works, financially.

As you can imagine, costs vary depending on venue, season, and group size, but here’s the basic structure:

Venue and meals are charged at cost. We secure the bookings for you and handle payment. We make sure the local produce and beverages are delivered and paid for. But we just pass that cost on to you at cost.

Our hosting and management fee covers the on-site logistics, co-hosting, and coordination.

You set your own participant pricing — and we’ll help you calculate margins so it’s profitable for you (and retreats really can be a great additional income stream).

Yes — completely.

Once your retreat is set up and your digital retreat space is live on our platform, you’ll receive a personalized booking link.

You can be creative with this.

Like, imagine giving your potential attendees unplugandconnect.me/atSusansRetreatinScotland).

Once we give you that link, your guests simply head over to that to register and pay securely through our platform, and we handle all confirmations, dietary notes, and follow-up communications from that point on.

You'll be able to log in and monitor what's going on, if you like. But you don't have to do anything.

You simply get regular updates — and can focus on your guests instead of spreadsheets.

Absolutely.

We love exploring new places — especially if they align with our Unplug & Connect ethos of simplicity, nature, and warmth.

If you have a destination in mind, we’ll research, vet, and set it up for you.

That’s actually how most of our venues start — with a coach’s idea.

(Added cool thing: we actually video-document the whole exploration journey when we set out looking for new venues. And that's something you can engage your future guests with, later. It really builds connection with your retreat venue, if they've been - albeit as armchair travellers - "along for the ride" in selecting the venue).

We're not a "retreat finding platform."

We're not a booking engine.

We don't market your retreat like a low cost airline.

We don’t even just plan retreats — we live them with you.

We’re there on-site: cooking, caring, and making sure everything runs beautifully.

We bring 60+ years of combined experience in hosting, travel, and facilitation — and we deeply care about the human side of the experience.

It’s not corporate. It’s personal. Because we remember how desperate some of us have been to actually unplug. And how badly we all need genuine connection.

Yes, we offer can certainly provide videography to capture the moments.

Actually, we do a lot more than that.

Imagine taking your retreat content and turning it into a digital content product that you can sell afterwards? Imagine if you didn't need to do any of the editing and video production work? And imagine if that was hosted on a platform for you and you just collected sales revenue each month from that?

We do that.

You do the magic. We do the rest.

(only maybe you're starting to realise that we can do magic, too?)

Yes, and this is where the real magic happens.

So many retreats end with a happy glow. But they end. The bonds and connections that form during the retreat fade within a few days or weeks.

That’s why we created the U&C Club — to keep the spirit of your retreat alive long after everyone goes home.

Participants can join the U&C Club before, during or after their retreat with you (it's a modest monthly or annual fee).

As members, they get:

a) Exclusive digital retreat content — filmed and edited by us, so they can revisit your sessions anytime

b) Quarterly live webinars with you — hosted on our platform (we handle the tech)

c) Access to cross-community sessions — join webinars from other coaches (and you can share your own with new audiences, too)

d) A private community forum — so your retreat cohort can stay connected through the year ahead (again, we do the tech)

e) Early-bird discounts on future retreats across our platform

f) Special rates on room upgrades and experiences at our venues

g) Exclusive offers on retreat merchandise and add-ons

And here’s the best part:

We give you, the coach, 5% of every annual membership fee from your retreat participants who join the U&C Club.

It’s our way of saying thank you — because when you choose to host your retreat with us, you help us grow this movement of connection and care.

We think Unplug&Connect retreats are unlike anything else out there.

But our U&C Club takes it a big step further - giving your retreat a life beyond the event itself.

And yes. You get paid for that! *

* The catch: there isn't one. We're building this together and we see our coaches, trainers and creative professionals as partners.
