Should You Use a Booking Platform for Retreats? (Why Sacred Ohms Is Different)
If you’re a retreat leader, you already know how much heart and energy goes into planning a transformational experience. Between scouting venues, handling logistics, and marketing to your community — the behind-the-scenes work can quickly become overwhelming.
That’s where a retreat booking platform can make a huge difference. But with so many retreat listing sites out there, how do you choose one that truly supports your vision?
In this post, we’ll explore the pros and cons of using a retreat booking platform — and share why Sacred Ohms was built to be a completely different kind of tool for conscious leaders like you.
Why Retreat Leaders Turn to Booking Platforms
Retreats are not like traditional vacations — they’re sacred, intentional containers for healing, growth, and transformation. But planning one can feel like running a small business (because, well… it is).
Retreat leaders often use retreat booking platforms to:
- Discover venues around the world
- Compare pricing and amenities
- Communicate with venue owners
- Streamline the booking process
- Find spaces that feel aligned with their values
On the surface, platforms like Airbnb, Retreat Guru, and BookRetreats seem helpful — but most fall short in one big way:
They’re not built for sacred work.
The Problem With Most Retreat Listing Sites
Most retreat listing sites are focused on volume, not vibration. They prioritize quantity over quality and often list generic hotels or venues that aren’t truly designed for transformation.
Here’s where most platforms miss the mark:
- ❌ Anyone can list a venue without vetting
- ❌ No energetic or environmental standards
- ❌ Little to no customer support for facilitators
- ❌ Hidden fees or commissions passed to the guest
- ❌ Venues may not even specialize in hosting retreats
When you’re planning something sacred — a yoga teacher training, a breathwork immersion, a medicine ceremony — you need more than just a pretty property. You need a space that supports deep, meaningful work.
That’s why Sacred Ohms was created.
How Sacred Ohms Is Different
Sacred Ohms isn’t just a retreat booking platform — it’s a curated network of sacred, energetically aligned retreat venues across the globe. Our mission is to support retreat leaders in finding spaces that feel like home for healing, growth, and community.
Here’s what sets us apart:
🌿 Hand-Vetted Properties Only
Every venue on Sacred Ohms is personally interviewed, vetted, and approved for energetic alignment, eco-conscious practices, and retreat-readiness. We don’t list random hotels. We specialize in sacred retreat properties only.
✨ Energetic + Environmental Integrity
We prioritize venues that honor the land, the local culture, and the transformative work being done there. Think crystal quartz mountains, jungle hideaways, and oceanfront sanctuaries rooted in sustainability.
🤝 No Booking Fees for Leaders or Guests
When you book through Sacred Ohms, you pay the same rate as booking directly with the venue — with no surprise platform fees. And better yet, a portion of every booking goes toward charitable causes that uplift people and planet.
🌍 Global, Diverse, and Unique Retreat Spaces
We feature over 450+ venues in magical places like Costa Rica, Tanzania, Tulum, California, Portugal, Bali, and beyond. From intimate five-room monasteries to expansive eco-villages — you’ll find the perfect fit for your retreat’s vision.
💌 Concierge-Level Support
Need help finding the right spot? Want a shortlist based on your dates and style? We’ve got you. Our team offers free support to match you with venues and guide you through the booking process — because your time is sacred, too.
