The Art of Retreat Design

A free masterclass for facilitators, leaders, guides & culture shapers who want to design retreats that truly change people. 

What if the real power of a retreat isn’t in the location, the schedule, or the activities you pack into the agenda, but in the invisible architecture holding it all together?

Behind every retreat that leaves people saying, “That was the moment everything changed,” there is intentional design.

In this free 60-minute masterclass, I’ll take you behind the scenes of transformational retreat design and share the framework I’ve used to design and facilitate hundreds of retreats, programs, and rites of passage across more than 20 countries.

We’ll explore what actually creates lasting transformation, why some retreats feel lovely in the moment but fade quickly, and how to design experiences that stay with people long after they’ve gone home.

Whether you’re dreaming up your very first retreat or refining your tenth, this session will give you a clear and grounded framework for creating experiences that are safe, timeless, and genuinely life-changing.

✨ BONUS for those joining live: You’ll receive a complimentary Retreat Design Kit : a concise 15-page PDF with a ready-to-use Retreat Design Checklist so you leave with a clear blueprint and the peace of mind that no critical element has been overlooked.

✨ Replay included: If you can’t make it live, I’ll send you the recording.

There has never been a more urgent time to center human transformation

Hi! I'm Nele.

I’m the founder of Wondr, where we reimagine how humans gather and create experiences that truly change lives. Transformation is at the heart of all our work; from running rites-of passage retreats, to training facilitators, to enlivening boardrooms and corporate off sites.

Over the past decade, I’ve designed and led hundreds of retreats and transformational programs across the world—from wild riversides in Australia to ancient forests in Europe, from intimate women’s circles to global corporate gatherings. My work has been trusted by organisations like LinkedIn, Snapchat, and Woolworths, alongside countless communities who have stepped into this work.

I’ve trained more than 500 facilitators in frameworks of Circle, Rites of Passage, and transformational design, equipping them to create ripple effects in their own communities.

What makes my approach unique is the way I weave ancient wisdom and ritual with modern facilitation—bridging depth and practicality. Whether I’m designing a rite-of-passage retreat, a corporate offsite, or a community festival, my aim is always the same: to create containers strong enough for real transformation, and spacious enough for wonder, creativity, and human connection to emerge.

My facilitation style is grounded, playful, and deeply intentional. My mission? To help more guides, facilitators, and leaders design experiences that don’t just inspire for a moment but transform for a lifetime.
