Root Retreats exists to help you reconnect with yourself through meaningful experiences, genuine connection and the courage to step beyond what's familiar. In a world that constantly pulls us in different directions, our retreats offer the opportunity to slow down, ground yourself, and return to what truly matters. We believe growth happens when we open ourselves to new perspectives, people and experiences, and that transformation doesn't end when the retreat does. It continues long after you return home, carrying with you the tools, confidence and self-awareness to navigate life with a stronger sense of who you are.

Founder - Remi de Burgh Leather
Wellness & Retreat Host | 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.”
“Root Retreats is built on collaboration. Alongside me, each retreat is co-hosted with specialists, creatives, and guides who bring their own unique energy, skills, and ideas. From wellness facilitators to movement coaches and artists, every retreat will feature fresh faces so no two experiences are ever the same. This ethos keeps Root alive, evolving, and always grounded in shared learning.”
