Hello hello!
It’s Harriet and Katie here.. and we are writing to you from our new home: The Wellness Drop Retreats.
If the name feels new but the energy feels familiar, that’s because it is. The Connected Collective Retreats has officially become The Wellness Drop Retreats.
Same intimate, women-first retreats you know and love. Same belief in what can happen when women step away from their everyday lives for a few days. Just a new home, and a lot more to come.
And that “more” is actually a big part of why we’ve made the move.
The Connected Collective was always about small, beautiful, ultra-luxury retreats. Under The Wellness Drop Retreats, we’re broadening that world. There will still be those big, bucket-list experiences, but you’ll also start seeing shorter, closer-to-home retreats, new destinations across Europe, GCC and the rest of the world, collaborations with incredible wellness practitioners and, importantly, more accessible price points.
So if today’s retreat isn’t within your budget, don’t go anywhere. There is plenty more coming.
But first, we have one final retreat that was originally created under The Connected Collective umbrella.
And it’s a pretty special one to go out on…
We’re taking a very small group of women to one of the most extraordinary wellbeing destinations in the world for three nights, and we have just a couple of rooms remaining.
A few things to know before you start mentally packing your suitcase…
1) This is a genuinely intimate retreat.
We’re keeping the group small on purpose. Just a handful of women, which means there’s space for the kind of connection and closeness that has always made our retreats so special.
If you’ve retreated with us before, you’ll know exactly what we mean. And if you haven’t yet, this is a pretty special one to start with.
2) This one is less about “doing the work”, and more about giving yourself permission to simply be.
This isn’t a retreat where we’re going to keep you in workshops all day or take you through lots of deep healing work.
JOALI BEING is the kind of place where the island itself does half the work for you. So we’ve deliberately created an experience that gives you the space to actually enjoy it.
Think daily massages and facials, spa time, sound healing, gentle movement and meditation. Time with your personal wellbeing consultant. Time to snorkel, swim, explore the island, lie by the water, read a book, have long lunches, or do absolutely nothing at all.
There will be beautiful moments that bring us together, but there will also be plenty of space that belongs entirely to you.
It’s called The Art of Being for a reason.
3) It is ultra-luxury. And yes, it is an investment.
JOALI BEING is one of the most beautiful and premium wellbeing resorts in the world, and it comes with a price tag to reflect that.
But here’s the maths that might make you look twice.
During the week of our retreat, an Ocean Pool Villa alone at JOALI BEING costs around $4,000 per night.
Three nights with us, with your accommodation, return Sea Plane transfers, half board AND entire retreat experience included, comes in at less than the price of two nights at the resort if you’re sharing a room, and less than the price of three nights if you’re not.
We know it’s a lot of money, and we know it won’t be for everyone.
But if JOALI BEING has been sitting somewhere on your wish list, and you’ve been waiting for a very good reason to finally experience it…
This might just be it.
We’ll be back later this week with the full agenda, so you can see exactly what those three days will look like.
For now, if this one is calling you, you can apply for one of last the remaining rooms below.
Also please just reply here if you have any questions and we will come straight back to you!
Your Wellness Drop besties 🤍
