Is this you? Right now you…
You want to celebrate a monumental life event (birthday, wedding, anniversary, etc.)
Crave a more immersive experience than just a vacation that is 1000x better than the same weekend or week-long getaway that you take every single year.
Feel completely and totally overwhelmed at the thought of planning your own getaway, stumped by “How the F do I find the time for this AND coordinate everyone’s schedules?”
sound about right?
Problem is…
Coordinating everyone’s schedules is like a part time job because it’s hard enough to find the time to contact everyone, much less nail down dates that actually accommodate everyone’s individual responsibilities.
You spend hours trying to plan that perfect vacation and consider every last detail that includes fun excursions, spa services, and maybe even wine tasting on top of all of the meals so that no one gets hangry and it all just feels overwhelming.
You would prefer to have an entire team of fun professionals taking care of all of your needs, even the ones you didn’t know you had.
How amazing would it feel to hand over every single detail to a team of experienced professionals?
I can help you get there.
Introducing
Our Custom, Private Retreat
Anywhere, Anytime
For Groups who want to immerse themselves into a perfectly curated, unforgettable experience.
Here is what our past guests have to say:
“7 other girls & I had the most fabulous Friday-Monday retreat with 4 Fantastic Wandering Roots Hosts. It was heavenly. We arrived to custom cocktails & dinner. Saturday started with Yoga/Mediation, Fun Facials, Full body Chakra Massages, Gorgeous Candid & Posed group and individual photos. Healthy Meals were prepared cooked, dishes washed, rides given and so much more. We already booked the same weekend next year. Can't wait. We loved the girls so much. Everyone needs this 5 star adventure in their lives. ” — JR
How it Works
Imagine an event planner and a travel agent had a baby. That’s how we roll.
the process
1. COMPLETE “YOUR DREAM PRIVATE RETREAT BRAINSTORM” FORM
This is where you get to dream big and tell me everything you’re hoping to get out of your private, custom retreat and all of the things you would rather avoid. Once I review your completed form, I will reach out to schedule a zoom consult to fine tune all of the details.
2. ZOOM CONSULT
We’ll schedule a phone call or Zoom to answer any and all questions and come up with the best location and itinerary to suit you and your favorite humans needs.
3. BOOK YOUR CUSTOM RETREAT
Once we have agreed on the perfect itinerary and budget for your curated experience, we will discuss a payment schedule that works for you then all you have to do is create a countdown and get excited!
4. SCOUTING THE LOCATION
All excursions that we agreed upon will then be put through a rigorous testing process that requires a high level of wow factor, a zero indicator for stress and a qualifying time of day to best optimize the experience which is code for avoiding crowds and having the perfect daylight for selfies. You will only be taken to the best places the area has to offer. Every restaurant, venue and excursion on the itinerary has been experienced by yours truly.
5. ANXIETY-REMOVAL CHECK-IN
A week before the retreat, I will check in with everyone. I will show you what to pack and discuss the excursions in full detail. I will answer any and all questions and will not rest until you are anxiety-free.
6. RETREAT
Alas! The fun part! You show up ready to relax and unwind and experience an unforgettable retreat that rocks your world. Bonus points for trying something new ;)

What past guests are saying...
“Retreat Host Anna, you are an inspiration! Anytime I witness something so well done I think DISNEY. This was a true Disneyesque experience!” — CK
We help You escape on effortless adventures with your favorite humans.
Hi friend.
we’re Anna, Elise + Abbey – the retreat hosts and multi-passionate entrepreneurers behind Wandering Roots retreats.
I (Anna) first met Elise back in 2017, when she booked a glamour + boudoir photography session. I was in the middle of burning my life down and saying “yes” to all of the things that I really wanted to do but kept making excuses not to do them because frankly they scared the hell out of me.
Elise not only restored a confidence in me that I had lost but also inspired me to make a huge career change. I wanted to help people in a real way like she was, so I took the natural next steps in convincing her to be my bestie. She took my branding photos, built my website and signed on as a co-host for my first retreat (August 2018) without us really even talking about it. I know what you’re thinking and yes, she’s not only the most talented human being on the planet, she’s also the kindest. Her endless support and faith in me is one of the few things that keeps me going.
Fast forward two months where the second retreat I ever hosted was scheduled for fall 2018 in breathtaking Banff. One month before the retreat, my chef cancelled on me. In a panic, I posted in several FB groups asking if anyone was interested in the job. Enter Abbey, the coolest, calmest, most capable human I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Abbey and I exchanged a few DMs and then she came to my yoga class at a local gym and stayed after to meet me. We ended up talking for 4 hours and I booked her flight the next day. On her way to Banff, Abbey was delayed by over 12 hours and they lost her luggage for 48 hours and she just went with the flow while making meals from scratch that blew my mind. Strangers that share clothes due to lost luggage will remain friends for a lifetime, I just know it.
Words can’t accurately describe how grateful I am to have these two by my side for over 20 retreats and how thrilled I am when guests get to experience their magic and charm.
Wandering Roots is all about inspiring you to go after whatever weird thing or goal it is that you want while also pausing long enough to celebrate and feel how incredible life can be when you get out of your own way and this dream team of mine makes it look easy.
So what happens if you need to cancel? (AKA life happens…)
Your Investment is Covered*
I am a seasoned traveler and retreat host and know that sometimes life happens and plans need to be cancelled.
Book a private retreat and we will discuss covering your investment with travel insurance.
Wandering Roots has partnered with two companies to provide you with extensive coverage at very affordable rates.
If you follow through with your end of the work and purchase travel insurance, you will be covered during your retreat or your investment will be reimbursed if you can no longer attend your retreat.
Basically, we’ll do everything in our power to make sure you’re over-the-moon happy whether or not the retreat happens.
