Use the checklist

Compare a wellbeing retreat with your needs

A retreat description may combine movement, reflection and other activities. Use this question sheet to understand the actual programme and its limits before deciding to attend.

Checklist

  1. List the activities, intended audience and daily schedule. Ask what is optional and what preparation or previous experience is expected.

  2. Clarify the qualifications and responsibilities of facilitators. Keep claims about health benefits separate from descriptions of the setting, and take individual health questions to an appropriate professional.

  3. Check accommodation, meals, access, costs and cancellation terms directly. Decide what personal information you want to share and ask how privacy is handled in group activities.

Questions and answers

What if the programme is described only in broad terms?

Request a sample schedule and a clear explanation of what participants do. Words such as balance or transformation do not establish the content or suitability of a retreat. Keep unanswered questions visible before making a commitment.
