About us

We have been searching for a clear and authentic Retreat platform for many years. Once we realized that this is a gap in the market, we knew that we wanted to use our competences in this field and build one that includes very exclusive places which are all focused specifically on retreats!. We have been to retreats for many years and with every new experience we get more into this lifestyle. Our background in life coaching, hospitality and health sciences enables us to offer high quality consultations to find you the perfect Retreat or Retreat Hotel.

We support Retreat Hotels and Retreat Leaders, organize our own Retreats and are more than happy to arrange a very tailor made stay for you.

Happiness is not in doing what you want, but to want what you do. – Leo Tolstoi
Barbara Morf
Founder
I am a visionary, very curious and people oriented person and I am always a step ahead. With Leading Retreats I have fulfilled a dream of mine. I am happy to share my own Retreat experiences and my skills as a Life coach with people who have decided to get in touch with this wonderful way of life. Being successful and full of passion in the hotel business for many years I always looked for a way to combine my career, my interests and my life in a way that my energy level is always balanced. This is why I have been motivated to create Leading Retreats, with a variety of short and long-term Retreats and Retreat Places near and far. Leading Retreats will not only be a one-time vacation, but a lifestyle.
"Life is a work of art and the human beeing is an artist who can create every moment himself."

Marketing, Administration & Management Assistance
I studied business administration and specialised in digital marketing. During my professional career, I have already helped renowned brands such as Swarovski and Hugo Boss to digital success. I love travelling more than others and with an entrepreneurial spirit I'm working on my own holistic projects in my second home Lisbon. My passion for yoga retreats led me directly to Leading Retreats, where I now support the team on a freelance basis with my many years of marketing experience. With drive, customer focus and accuracy, I organise the back office and support the management in daily operations.
