This company was born out of my own search for healing, clarity, and community. In my early twenties, I found myself feeling disconnected and overwhelmed in nearly every direction. From there, came a big call to submerge in all things wellbeing. I wanted to go on a retreat but had no idea where to look, what was legit, where the affordable options were or which experience would be right for me. That frustration planted a seed.

In the coming years, I experienced the magic of holding space for others and having space held for me, and witnessing people come home to themselves in the most surreal of ways while navigating my career in Atlanta and San Francisco as a Management Consultant.

As I stepped into the seat of teacher through yoga and breathwork trainings, I saw a vision which would soon be known as RetreatVi.

A vision that was a more seamless, more supported, more soulful way to connect people with opportunities to retreat.

A movement toward healing in community.

A place where you can find your people, your peace, and your purpose. Whether you’re hosting or attending, I want RetreatVi to feel like a trusted guide in your wellness journey — offering not just tools and listings, but a sense of belonging.

We’re still new — we launched to the App Store in September 2024 — and we’re learning every day. But we’re committed to building something beautiful and meaningful. A platform, a community, and a vision that’s rooted in empowerment, connection, and real transformation.

Thanks for being here. I hope RetreatVi helps you feel held, inspired, and expanded — wherever you are on your path.

With love,
Ryan Welti
