Retreat Planning Resources

Tools, inspiration, and guidance I regularly share with yoga and wellness retreat leaders planning experiences in Italy.

Over the years, I’m often asked the same questions by retreat leaders — about equipment, logistics, insurance, planning tools, and preparation.

This page brings together **useful, non-salesy resources** to help you plan with more clarity and confidence.

Yoga & Meditation Equipment

What to bring, what to source locally, and how venues typically handle props for group retreats.

Insurance & Legal Basics

Key considerations for UK-based retreat leaders hosting events in Italy.

Planning & Booking Tools

Platforms and systems that help simplify payments, communication, and logistics.

Travel & Payments

Managing international transfers, participant payments, and retreat finances smoothly.

Language & Culture

Simple ways to communicate effectively with Italian venues and staff.

Inspiration & Reading

Books and perspectives that align beautifully with slow living and retreat culture in Italy.
