TESTIMONIALS

What exhibitors, retreat leaders, buyers, sponsors and industry insiders had to say about Synergy 2022 and 2023.

  • “Synergy, The Retreat Show is the first trade show where I came away knowing more about myself, as well as about the people I met. I found people wanted to get to know you, what you’re about, rather than show you endless power-point presentations, and understand where – ironically – the synergies are. The show has a special energy, and everyone has a unique story to tell about their own journey to wellness, either as a practitioner and retreat leader, or about why their resort or hotel is a special place that embraces wellness. If the collective goodwill and intention of all those in attendance was magnified and projected out, the world might be a better place. On a practical note, the wellness and retreat trend is only going to increase, so it makes sense for travel planners to understand this part of the luxury travel business for their own future benefit, both economically and spiritually.”

    April Hutchinson (Journalist)

  • "Synergy is exactly that…a synergetic approach to travel, wellness, tourism, hospitality, and hotelier culture in one. It allows you to explore the intersections of each of these dimensions by meeting with experts in the industry. It is opening new opportunities of collaboration between travel advisors, retreat leaders, and innovative wellness professionals highlighted by the beautiful properties who create the backdrop of these unique experiences. It is a holistic blend that creates an eco-ststem of a new way to see the world. To respect humanity and nature, and the greatest connection between them."

    Crystal Carnahan (Buyer)

  • "Attending Synergy - The Retreat Show was yet again a valuable and insightful experience for We Love Transformational Travel. The event was well-organised, blending networking, learning, and inspiration effectively. It was great to meet diverse industry professionals and gain new perspectives on transformational travel. The sense of community and shared commitment to meaningful travel experiences was particularly striking. I left with new connections and ideas, reinvigorated in our mission at We Love Transformational Travel. Overall, the show was a rewarding and enlightening experience. I would highly recommend anyone in the transformational/wellness retreat industry to attend in 2024."

    Monique Jansse (Buyer)

  • “What a joy to attend a trade event that has passionately created an 'out-of-the-box' experience where industry people were able to practice more of what they preach. An event with real heart and soul, full of people with heart and soul and the opportunity to make connections that are so much more than a business card exchange: more heart and soul!! ”

    Sophie Benge (Retreat Leader)

  • “Where do heart-centered people in travel meet to be in community, learn from each other, and do business? Until Synergy – The Retreat Show, there wasn’t a space for this. I’m amazed at the relationships built in just three days, the amount of brilliance I was fortunate enough to connect with. I’ve been in travel for 20 years and attended my fair share of tradeshows. This was built with intention, care, and in an outdoor space that allowed you to release any tension with a mindful stroll. Synergy was a combination of education, experiential workshops, set appointments, and organic conversation. It was a melding of healers who are also retreat leaders, travel professionals, media, and consultants like myself. All there with open minds and positive energy to spare.”
