A guide for facilitators on what to check when choosing where to hold a wellbeing, yoga or personal growth retreat in Jalisco, from the spaces to the food and lodging.
Choosing the venue is one of the decisions that shapes a retreat the most. These are the questions worth asking before you book.
1. Do the spaces suit what you will do?
A yoga retreat needs a firm floor and shade; a meditation retreat needs quiet; group work needs an indoor hall with good light. Ask which spaces are included, for how many hours a day and whether other groups will be there at the same time.
2. How will people get there?
A venue near Guadalajara makes arrival easy from the airport and from other cities. Check the route, the travel time and parking.
3. What does the package include?
See whether the price covers lodging, meals, coffee breaks and use of the spaces, and what costs extra. Ask about special diets.
4. Is there nature around?
The setting holds the process: walking among agave, sitting by a lake or spending an afternoon with horses helps people take in what happens in the sessions.
5. What activities can you add?
Temazcal, yoga, horse riding, workshops or fire circles enrich the programme without you having to organise them.
