Welcome!
The Retreat Space is an online community that offers classes and resources to slow down, take care, and come alive.
Are you overwhelmed by life, work, and the world? Is there no time or space for rest, joy, and fun? Are you out of touch with who you are and what you want?
You’re not alone, and it’s not your fault. The world is an intense place to be, and we’re all just trying to get by.
The Retreat Space teaches practical skills and offers powerful support to help you get clear about who you are and what you need. It’s time for us all to feel less drained and more alive.
We’re so glad you’re here.

Our Story
Hi! I’m Quinn Corte (she/her), creator of The Retreat Space. You can learn more about me here.
I created this virtual gathering space in March 2020 during the earliest days of lockdown. My intention was to spread collective care and explore ways to heal, play, and grow together. During that time, I collaborated with a range of amazing teachers to offer free meditations, classes, playdates, and demonstrations of self-care techniques. Many of these videos are still available to watch as free resources.
This space has ripened and deepened in the years since—and as life rapidly unfolds, our mission continues to evolve. We have an active community who helps co-create anything we offer. These days, we’re a little quieter on Zoom and everything exciting is happening in our monthly email Care Packages.
As we enter 2024, I’m jazzed about what’s next. My career is in the middle of a huge pivot as I train with Martha Beck to become a life and work coach. I’m busy dreaming up new courses and community gatherings to help you feel better in life and work, and I’m writing a book about stress relief. Stay tuned for so much more—our next chapter is just beginning!
