Hi! This is Quinn (she/her), creator of The Retreat Space.

Are you a teacher, healer, group facilitator, and/or writer with something special to offer our community? Do we share the same values?

We want to know you!

We are looking for:

  • New friends and community members—even if we don’t “do” anything together

  • Like-hearted people who want to be hired to collaborate on live online events, pre-recorded courses and retreats, or guest blog posts.

  • Experiential practices, discussions, and teachings that help people care for themselves and each other. Our offerings encourage people to pause and reflect, heal, grow, think, regulate, learn, feel, play, and connect.

  • Interesting offerings that showcase your unique gifts; we won’t shoe-horn you into offering something prescriptive or standardized.


Who you are:

  • A teacher, healer, group facilitator, and/or writer with something special to offer our community.

  • A lifelong learner who is curious and open-minded.

  • If you identify as white, you’re tuned in the realities of racism and actively working to dismantle white supremacy inside and out.

  • Someone without a huge following—instead you are looking for intimate, deeper group experiences and extra support as you step forward with your gifts.

  • A compassionate human who is trauma-aware, sensitive to varying bodies and needs, and can hold space for the range of human experiences.

  • Someone who is aligned with our values.

  • Someone who is brave, vulnerable, and admits they don’t have it all figured out.

What to expect:

  • If you’re curious about working with us, please click on the button below and fill out our interest form.

  • If it feels like a good fit, I’ll invite you to an exploratory zoom call to chat.

  • This is an intuitive business, so our event-development process is organic and sometimes slow. We are not in the business of churning out content. Instead, we like to let ideas incubate and ripen until an offering feels aligned for both of us.

  • You can expect clear communication along the way.

  • If/when timing is aligned, we’ll work together on developing and marketing your offering.


Events, courses, and retreats:

  • If we decide to co-facilitate an offering together, we will pay you a transparent, flat rate.

    • We pay 20% more to collaborators who identify as BIPOC, LGBTQ+, live with disability, and/or self-identify as being under-represented and under-supported as a wellness practitioner.

  • All events, courses, and retreats will be hosted and co-facilitated by me. During events, I will open and close the circle, lovingly introduce you, hold space for you and the community, and troubleshoot technical issues.

  • Event registration will be hosted on The Retreat Space website, and participants will be added to our email list.

  • Our live events are usually attended by 5-15 people; recordings are watched by many more.

  • You are encouraged to invite your community to the event; I will share marketing materials with you to pass along.

  • Events are either free or priced on a sliding scale (we’ll decide together in advance).

  • We will use every opportunity to lift up your work and link to your offerings.


Guest blog posts:

  • We would love to hear your proposals for guest blog posts, with particular interest in the following areas:

    • Anti-racism and wellness

    • Self-care that’s grounded in the real world

    • Personal stories about soulful healing and growth

    • Collective care

  • We like to include actionable steps for readers to try (reflection questions, practices, links for further study).

  • Once we reach an agreement, guest bloggers will be paid a flat rate, agreed upon in advance.

    • We pay 20% more to collaborators who identify as BIPOC, LGBTQ+, live with disability, and/or self-identify as being under-represented or under-supported as a wellness practitioner.

  • Posts are 1,000-1,500 words.

  • After you submit your draft, we will go through 1-2 rounds of developmental edits and proofreading with a focus on making sure The Retreat Space voice is consistent, gentle, inclusive, and trauma-aware.

  • Blog posts will be publicized on our social media and monthly email newsletter. We encourage you to share it with your community and link to it in your materials.

  • Working together on a post will be an organic process, so it’s not a super quick turnaround.



“Collaborating with Quinn…was super easeful. She did a great job leading and allowing my contribution to be beautifully interwoven into the process. I felt supported, encouraged, and well-prepared working with her. I most appreciate that she set a clear intention for an organic unraveling of events, which felt so good and made working together even more fun and easeful.”
