🙋 Frequently Asked Questions
❓ What if I don’t run retreats?
That’s totally fine! The name is Australia Wide Retreats, but the directory is designed to support all kinds of wellness-related services, whether you’re running a retreat, hosting a one-day workshop, doing in-home sessions, or offering support services like catering, venues, or supplies.
❓How do I add my workshops and events to the Aussie Workshops and Retreats Facebook page?
This is a very simple process and members are guided through the steps of how to do this when they join. All events added will require approval from myself as the Admin.
❓ Just to clarify, can I add workshops and 1:1 Services that I do in my own home?
Absolutely! The great thing about this is, if you desire to travel around Australia, you can also mark your services as "Available for Retreat Programs". This way, facilitators can connect with you so you can organise something together. Otherwise, your home services are welcomed too.
❓ Can I list more than one service?
Yes! If you offer multiple services (for example, Reiki and training programs, Retreat Venue with caterer, workshops and products or photographer and guest speaker), they can all be included in your single directory listing. Our copy/paste template will help present them clearly so your audience can see all you have to offer.
❓ Do I need a website to join?
No! If you have one, you can link to it. But if not, your directory listing can serve as your online presence — with contact info, offerings, and images included.
❓ Do you offer a money back guarantee?
Yes! If you join and find the platform isn’t the right fit for you, simply cancel your membership within the first 7 days and we’ll issue a full refund — no questions asked.
❓ Can I cancel my membership?
Yes, you can cancel anytime. Your listing will remain live until the end of your paid membership period. There are no lock-in contracts.
❓ Can I update my listing later?
Yes. You’ll be able to manage your listings or add new events and offers at any time. We make this part easy and supportive.
❓ Will I need to be tech savvy to setup my events?
Not at all! You’ll be guided through a simple 3-step setup process, with short videos showing you exactly where to click and what to do. And if you need a helping hand, I’m here to support you. Every member has direct email access to me for personalised assistance.
❓ How will people find my listing?
Your listing will appear in our public directory, which is actively promoted through our Facebook channels, email newsletter, and blogs. You’ll also be able to include direct links back to your website and social media. Plus, you can feature your upcoming events on our website calendar, event list, and inside our growing Facebook group—giving your offerings even more visibility.
❓ Can I post to your Facebook group?
Full Facebook group posting privileges are for Directory Members only. At the moment, the public can add their posts to the group but their posts are manually approved once a week as a bulk approval (after being sorted through of course)
❓ What are my Facebook Group privileges as a Directory Member?
Our Aussie Workshops & Retreats Facebook group is growing every single day — it’s where we put most of our energy and attention. As a Directory Member, you’ll enjoy exclusive posting perks that help your content stand out.
✨ Post up to once per day about your offerings — whether that’s retreats, workshops, events, blogs, images, or videos. Your posts are approved daily, so they’re never buried among the public posts (which are only approved in bulk once a week). Over time, we may eventually make the group posts exclusive to Directory Members only.
📅 You can also add your events (retreats, workshops, training programs, classes) directly to our Facebook Events list — and we’ll walk you through exactly how to do it once you join.
🚀 Plus, our Facebook Business Page runs targeted ads that send fresh traffic straight to the group, meaning more new eyes on your posts every week.

❓ Can I post my Bali or Thailand Retreats?
Our platform is dedicated to supporting Australia-based businesses and locally hosted retreats. As such, listings for international retreats (such as Bali or Thailand) aren't permitted. To maintain the integrity of our space, any overseas events added may be removed in line with our platform guidelines. We kindly ask all members to respect this focus and keep their listings Australia-specific.
❓ What’s included in the annual membership fee?
Your membership includes:
- A one-time directory listing setup
- Lifetime listing on our website (while your membership remains active)
- Unlimited updates to your listing and events
- The ability to post your events and offerings at any time
- The option to promote yourself in our public Facebook group
- Visibility to people actively seeking wellness services Australia-wide
❓Who is this directory for?
This directory is for anyone in Australia offering services, experiences, or products that support wellness and personal growth. That includes retreat facilitators, workshop hosts, one-to-one practitioners, healers, coaches, caterers, venues, photographers, and wellness product suppliers.
