- Verified Participant Reviews
Look for independent reviews from past participants, ideally from multiple sources (Google, retreat platforms, personal blogs). Read both positive and critical feedback to get a balanced view.
- Word-of-Mouth and Community Endorsements
Ask within conscious communities or forums (like Reddit, Facebook groups, or trusted wellness networks) if anyone has attended and can recommend a retreat based on personal experience.
- Presence and Consistency Online
An established retreat center will often have an updated website, social media presence, and ongoing communication. A lack of consistency or disappearing content can be a red flag.
