Create and host trusted wellbeing programs.
Start your application
Make time for a different rhythm. Explore current Wellness programs, compare what each host offers, and check the schedule and package before booking.
A wellness program offers time for activities such as yoga, meditation, bodywork or being outdoors. The activities vary by host: read the actual program schedule, participation requirements and package inclusions to understand what is offered.
A change of pace can start with time set aside for an activity you enjoy. Compare a short session with a longer stay, and look for a balance of guided activity, free time and practical travel arrangements.
Check the activity level, pace and rest breaks. Ask the host about adaptations before choosing a program.
A published schedule helps you plan. Compare session timings, time outdoors and the amount of unscheduled time.
If an ongoing practice matters to you, ask whether the host provides guidance or resources after the program.
These are ways to understand the activities you may encounter. They do not imply that every practice is currently available or that a program has been clinically tested.
Yoga, breathwork, meditation, sound
Read the session description, activity level and instructor guidance. Research on meditation does not establish the effects of a particular sound or breathwork session.
Read the research notes below
Bodywork, food and routine
Ask exactly what is included, who provides it and what participation requirements apply. A wellbeing stay is not a substitute for medical care.
Check consultations and inclusions
Walks, birdwatching and time outdoors
Check terrain, weather, walking distances and transport. Research about time in nature does not guarantee an outcome from a particular retreat.
Check access and daily activity
Journaling, making and quiet time
Look for the specific activities in the listing. Do not assume that quiet time, creative sessions or take-home resources are included.
Ask the host before booking

All Wellness programs, with filtersThree published findings, with limits that matter. These studies did not test the individual programs listed here.
A 2014 review of 47 trials involving 3,515 adults found moderate evidence of small improvements in anxiety, depression and pain for mindfulness meditation. This does not establish the effect of a particular retreat.1
A 2019 study in England linked at least 120 minutes a week in nature with better self-reported health and wellbeing. It was observational: it does not prove that time outdoors caused those outcomes.2
A 2004 meta-analysis of 37 studies reported short-term reductions in state anxiety, blood pressure and heart rate after massage. Its findings do not verify every massage technique or program.3
Treat wellbeing activities as experiences, with individual responses and limitations. Ask the host about suitability and seek clinical advice for health concerns.
Use these questions to compare a program with your needs. If a listing leaves something unclear, ask LIFED or the host before booking.
Look for a clear focus and a description of what you will do.
Read how sessions fit together and how much time is scheduled.
Distinguish descriptions of activities from promises about health outcomes.
Look for clear descriptions rather than guaranteed results.
Check participation requirements and discuss suitability with the host.
Ask about supervision, adaptations and what support is available.
Check who leads the activities and whether the setting suits you.
Compare package inclusions, room options and the final booking amount.

A wellness program can include several activities or sessions around a particular focus. Compare its schedule, host and inclusions rather than assuming it is the same as an individual spa treatment.
Requirements vary. Read the intended audience, activity level and participation requirements on each program page, and ask the host if you are unsure.
LIFED wellbeing programs are not a substitute for medical care. Discuss suitability with your clinician if you have a medical condition or take medication, and confirm any consultation or treatment arrangements with the host.
Read the selected package and its listed inclusions. For a stay, check accommodation, meals and sessions separately. The booking flow shows the amount for your selected dates, guests and options before payment.
Check the minimum participants, package options and room arrangements on the program page. Ask LIFED about solo participation if these details are unclear.
Read the cancellation policy for the program and selected package before paying. Refund eligibility and deadlines depend on those terms; there is no universal refund window for every program.
Tell us how your weeks have felt. We'll suggest two or three programs, with no pressure to book.
