The Retreat

Six days of meaningful connections

The most popular Coliving Hub retreat is back. We had a very successful event last year where coliving founders not only took away lots of knowledge and ideas but also have made deep connections leading to co-investing in projects, launching joint services and building synergies with each other's spaces. Therefore, due to popular demand, Coliving Hub is organizing this retreat again for Coliving Managers who are targeting Digital Nomads.

Where we stay

This retreat will be hosted at Chateau Coliving from the 17th until the 22nd September 2023. The price includes a spacious private room, breakfast and lunch from in-house chef who would be providing vegan-friendly meals. We have rooms with private bathrooms and rooms with shared bathrooms (with only 1 other guest).

In any case, you get to live in a historical castle with large common spaces and all the necessary amenities for work, exercise and relaxation.

What to expect

We are one of the rare industries which promote collaboration over competition. This event is about embracing just that: learning from each other and growing together.
We want to create an inspiring and relaxing stay for everyone. We won't have an intensive program where you are expected to work day and night and be exhausted by the end of it. Instead, it will be a time when you can truly connect with others, have meaningful one-on-one conversations and connections, and get inspired by the group.

"Where does the money go?" is always a fair question, and we are happy to be totally transparent here. Coliving Hub is a non-profit organization, hence it will not make any profit on this retreat. The pricing is based on cost of accommodation, meals, transportation and to fly-in the Coliving Hub team. All team members of Coliving Hub will volunteer their time during the retreat.

The retreat will be lead by none other than our founder, Haz Memon. He has pioneered coliving since it's inception. He runs coliving spaces in Switzerland and Greece under the brand ESCAPE.

Elana is our activity guru, leading exercises during our retreat to get us talking and connecting. We will use the castle grounds for the team building exercises.
