Custom retreats by Breath + Story

Your people. Your dream destination. Your story.

Some of life’s most meaningful moments happen when we step away from the routines of everyday life and spend intentional time with the people who matter most.

At Breath & Story, we design and host fully customized retreats for groups with a minimum of 8 guests, creating unforgettable experiences that deepen relationships, spark adventure, and leave everyone feeling more connected—to themselves, to one another, and to the world around them.

Whether you’re celebrating a milestone birthday, gathering lifelong friends, planning a couples’ getaway, organizing a family reunion, or simply deciding it’s finally time to take the trip you’ve always talked about, we’ll help turn “someday” into a shared reality.

This isn’t just another vacation.

It’s a thoughtfully designed experience where every detail has purpose and every moment becomes part of your story.

Designed Around You

Every retreat begins with your vision.

Together, we’ll create an experience that reflects your group’s personality, interests, pace, and dreams. From destination and accommodations to activities, dining, and meaningful moments of connection, every itinerary is crafted exclusively for your group.

Choose from incredible destinations including:

France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece, England, Ireland, South Africa, Scotland, New Zealand, Costa Rica, Australia . . .
