Empowering you to create incredible experiences
Retreat Mentoring with Joey Hulin
Have you been dreaming of running your own retreat, but don’t quite know where to start?
Perhaps you have your first retreat planned, but would love an experienced pair of eyes on your ideas, plans and logistics.
Or maybe you’re already an established retreat leader, but you’re feeling stretched, second-guessing yourself, or simply want some support to make sure you feel as prepared and resourced as possible before holding space for others.
In exceptional circumstances, I also work directly with brilliant people doing brilliant things, planning, delivering and evaluating retreats on their behalf, bringing my experience, passion, creativity and calm to every stage of the process.
Wherever you are in your retreat journey, I’m here to help you bring your vision to life, with clarity, confidence and intention.
I’ve spent the last decade creating and facilitating retreats, events, workshops and wellbeing experiences around the world. Through Horizon Inspired, I’ve held space for hundreds of people and collaborated with an incredible range of practitioners, teachers and organisations across wellness, creativity and corporate wellbeing.
And I’ve learnt a lot along the way.
I’ve learnt what makes a retreat truly memorable, what can quietly derail an experience, how to create a container that feels both beautifully held and spacious, and, perhaps most importantly, how to look after yourself as the person responsible for holding it all.
I’ve also made plenty of mistakes. I’ve tried things that didn’t work. I’ve even happily failed at running my own physical retreat space. And every one of those experiences has taught me something valuable.
Now, I want to share what I’ve learnt with you.
What we’ll work on
Our one-to-one mentoring will give you the space to step back from the detail and get really clear on your vision, your why and the intention behind your retreat.
Together, we’ll look at your plans with a fine-toothed comb, from the bigger picture and participant experience through to the practicalities of bringing it all together.
We’ll work on:
- Clarifying your retreat vision, purpose and unique offering
- Shaping the participant journey and overall experience
- Working through your schedule, structure and content
- Thinking through logistics, planning and practicalities
- Identifying potential challenges before they become problems
- Exploring how you can confidently hold space for your guests
- Building your confidence as both retreat leader and event organiser
- Making sure you feel grounded, prepared and resourced — not just your retreat
Alongside the practical planning, there is also space for personalised coaching. Because running a retreat isn’t simply about creating a beautiful itinerary or getting all the logistics right. You are the person setting the tone, holding the container and responding to whatever unfolds.
I want you to feel genuinely ready for that.
You’ll leave with…
A clear, practical roadmap for bringing your retreat to life, alongside greater confidence in yourself and your ability to lead it.
You’ll have a much clearer understanding of what needs to happen, what you can let go of, where to focus your energy and how to create an experience that feels intentional, nourishing and authentically yours.
Most importantly, you won’t have to figure it all out alone.
A little about me
I’m Joey, founder of Horizon Inspired, meditation teacher, accredited spiritual coach, author and retreat leader.
I’ve facilitated 100+ retreats across the UK and internationally, including in Bali, Australia, Mexico, Sri Lanka and Indonesia. I’ve worked with individuals, groups, wellbeing practitioners and organisations, and have collaborated with people across wellness, creative and corporate retreat experiences.
I trained as a meditation facilitator in 2015, which was the beginning of Horizon Inspired, and went on to train as a coach in 2016. Since then, I’ve continued to learn through experience, through the hundreds of people I’ve had the privilege of holding space for, the retreats I’ve created, the things that have gone brilliantly, and the things that absolutely haven’t.
I bring all of that into this work.
My approach is warm, down-to-earth and practical. I care deeply about the magic of retreats, but I also know that behind every beautiful retreat experience is a whole lot of planning, decision-making and invisible work.
My job is to help you navigate both.
