We built Retreator because we know both sides of the equation - the host who pours everything into creating a transformative experience, and the guest who deserves to land in exactly the right one. Our job is making sure those two people find each other.
My name is Ariel Boursi Levi, and I have been organizing retreats for over 13 years. I have hosted over 9,000 guests and run retreats every single week. I have seen it all.
I understand the deep challenges hosts face - the marketing hurdles, the dread of struggling to fill spots, the logistical pressures that arise during the retreat itself. I always dreamed of a platform that truly supports hosts, because the existing options were simply not built for the realities of this work.
That is why Oren Knaan and I founded Retreator.com. Being talented or having a great reputation is not enough on its own. Success requires knowing how to present your retreat and how to get it in front of the guests who are genuinely looking for exactly what you do.
13 years of hosting taught us that talent alone doesn't fill seats. We give hosts the visibility and tools to match with guests who are genuinely ready for what they offer.
Vague descriptions and inflated promises create disappointed guests. We push for radical clarity so guests choose the retreat that is actually right for them.
The perfect booking is one where both sides feel understood, cared for, and genuinely excited. That is the bar we set for every retreat on this platform.
My name is Oren Knaan. I have spent years thinking about one question: why do people come home from a retreat feeling changed, while others come home disappointed? The answer is almost always a mismatch - not of quality, but of fit.
A retreat is not a product you evaluate on specs. It is an experience you step into with your whole self. The wrong retreat at the right time can feel like wasted hope. The right retreat at the right time can genuinely shift things.
When someone carves out time, spends real money, and trusts that a few days away will matter - they deserve to land somewhere that was actually made for them. That is what Retreator is built around - not just a marketplace, but a matching system precise enough that when you book, it feels right before you even arrive.
We take the guesswork out of retreat discovery - for both sides of the equation.
We help retreat hosts present not just what they offer but why it matters - the teaching lineage, the daily rhythm, the kind of guest who thrives there. No fluff.
Rich detail, honest descriptions, and smart filters let guests cross-reference their needs against the actual retreat design. Less scrolling, more certainty.
When the match is genuine, magic happens: hosts welcome guests who are truly ready, guests arrive exactly where they should be. Everyone wins and comes back.
