Meet Our Team
Founder - Remi de Burgh Leather
Retreat Facilitator | PT + Yoga Teacher
“Hey, I’m Remi - the heart behind Root Retreats. My main intention is to bring like-minded people together in beautiful places, create memories that last, and share tools that support everyday life long after the retreat ends. Root Retreats is my way of combining accessible practices, movement, and fun into experiences that remind us that growth can feel good, and that life is always our biggest teacher.”
