What our hosts say

Frequently asked questions

What is the main difference between a Wanderlust Festival and a retreat on Retreat & Be?

Wanderlust festivals are large-scale, ticketed events typically lasting 1-4 days across multiple stages and classes. Retreats on Retreat & Be are structured programs with dedicated accommodation, instruction, and a longer-form retreat context.

Can I find the same instructors from Wanderlust on Retreat & Be?

Many world-class yoga and wellness teachers who present at Wanderlust also host or co-host retreats on Retreat & Be. Our platform allows you to follow specific teachers, receive notifications of their upcoming programs, and book directly — without the festival ticket markup.

Is Retreat & Be cheaper than attending a Wanderlust Festival?

Wanderlust festival tickets typically cost $200-$600 for a multi-day pass, before accommodation and travel. Retreat & Be programs include accommodation and meals in the stated price, and host service fees are calculated from the active plan and contract.

Does Wanderlust offer year-round programming?

Wanderlust runs seasonal events at specific venues. Retreat & Be lists retreat programs from participating organizers, so availability depends on the live catalog and the dates published by hosts.
