About RI.RETREATS
The Core:
RI.RETREATS is an independent editorial project dedicated to the curation of exceptional transformative retreats.
We research, observe and recognize experiences where the Teacher, the Location, and the Vision enter into a profound resonance, expressing coherence, depth and intention.
The origin:
RI.RETREATS was born from the necessity to bring order to a fragmented digital landscape. In a context marked by an overwhelming abundance of offerings and generic proposals, experiences with real meaning risk being obscured rather than revealed.
Within this space, editorial curation takes shape as a refined gaze, an act of discernment that honors the integrity of the experience.
Recognized through resonance.
Breathe. Reconnect.
The gaze:
Each retreat is perceived through a slow, rigorous gaze that seeks the silent coherence between the teacher’s intention and the energy of the space, prioritizing substance over trends and depth over aesthetics.
We do not collect options. We curate with intention, allowing each detail to serve a clear and higher purpose.
The Pillars:
Every experience is recognized for its capacity to generate a real shift.
Our curation is grounded in three fundamental pillars, the essential movements of any meaningful process of transformation: Reconnection, Regeneration and Rebirth.
Philosophy and Vision:
I am Adele. RI.RETREATS was born from my direct experience in the world of retreats, lived both as an organizer and as a participant. This dual perspective has allowed me to observe the field from within, understanding not only how retreats are designed and communicated, but how they are truly lived, embodied and remembered.
Through this journey, I have come to recognize that genuinely transformative experiences never happen by chance. They emerge from a subtle and conscious balance between multiple elements: the integrity of the teacher’s vision, the quality and intelligence of the environment that holds the work, and the intention that—often silently—keeps the entire process together.
My academic background in philosophy has deeply shaped the way I observe, question, and discern. It has trained me to look beyond the surface and aesthetics, to narrate the reality of experiences where meaning is present, and to sense the resonance of something is truly aligned rather than simply well presented. I am not drawn to formal perfection, but to the integrity of intention that sustains a process over time.
From this perspective, RI.RETREATS takes form as an independent editorial curation that does not seek to include everything, but to curate and narrate with responsIbility, care and depth.
