Taiwan Retreats
There are 6 spaces left in the Oct 30 - Nov 7 retreat!
(Spaces are limited to keep the setting intimate, ensuring you get the most out of your retreat experience.)
The value to attend our Taiwan Culture Retreat is $4650.
Our Taiwan Culture Retreats are all-inclusive, minus airfare, shipping purchased items to your home, alcoholic drinks, room service, spending money and tips. Your spot is only reserved on payment of a 50% deposit of $2325 or payment in full (which includes the deposit) as advertised. This deposit is non-refundable once we have our scheduled 20 minute chat.
Your Retreat can be paid in full during the scheduled call. Or you may choose a payment plan. For the October Retreat - the second payment of $1360 is due by June 15, 2025, and the balance of $1360 is payable by August 15, 2025. For the April 2026 Retreat - the second payment of $1360 is due by November 15, 2025, and the balance of $1360 is payable by January 15, 2026.
You can also book a room privately for $5350.
Here is how to reserve your spot:
1. It is first come, first serve. Once you choose your room option below you will have the opportunity to put a deposit down or pay in full. The spots will be taken in the order that deposits are made, not according to the scheduled call time so that those who work or have commitments don’t miss the opportunity.
2. The deposit doesn’t guarantee your spot. Once I see your payment, I will call to schedule a chat with you to confirm that this retreat is the right fit for you (please see A few things to consider before reserving your spot below). If we decide that it is not a fit on that call, we will refund your deposit minus the Credit Card fees. If we confirm that you are coming (yay!) we will set up your payment plan or complete your payment in full.
3. Please read the Terms & Conditions at the bottom of this page before reserving your spot (very standard for any international retreat).

There is a lot of walking on this retreat. Expect 10,000+ steps each day.
The sidewalks and walkways in Taiwan are very uneven. We like to call it “Urban Hiking”. As a result, this trip is not wheelchair friendly.
Unfortunately, we cannot cater to any strict dietary restrictions based on the availability in some of the smaller villages we will be visiting. We’re happy to chat about this further with you and possibly come up with some solutions.
We will be staying in accommodations many stories tall, please let us know if using an elevator will pose challenges for you.
