Retreat Guru has been a go-to directory for wellness retreats and teacher trainings for years. With a large catalog spanning yoga, meditation, Ayurveda, and silent retreats, it serves a broad audience of wellness seekers. However, Retreat Guru operates primarily as a listing directory and lacks the modern tools that today's retreat creators need: social engagement features, live streaming, an integrated marketplace, and sophisticated analytics. Retreat & Be was built from the ground up as a full-stack wellness platform. Beyond listing your retreat, you can sell wellness products, stream live sessions, build a social following, and leverage a privacy-first advertising engine — all from one dashboard. In production Phase A, Retreat & Be publishes French only while non-FR locales stay frozen outside production. Here is a detailed look at how the two platforms compare.

“The live streaming feature lets us offer hybrid retreats that reach people who can't travel. No other platform gave us that out of the box.”
