Guided Getaways

from Bucket List Retreats - The Podcast · host Kelly Morgan Merly

In uncertain times, leadership matters more than ever.In this episode of Bucket List Retreats – The Podcast, we explore what being guided actually gives you and why a well-led retreat experience feels so different from ordinary travel. When someone is thinking ahead, setting the structure, and guiding the tone of the experience, you’re free to relax, connect, and experience the journey more deeply.We talk about the invisible power of retreat leadership—shared steadiness, intentional structure, and the relief of not carrying the logistics or responsibility yourself.Thank you to Azaya Vega for her beautiful prayer and blessing for peace, wise leadership, and safety for travelers around the world. We look forward to welcoming her as a guest soon.Next week: Retreat Time Feels Different — Here’s Why.Thank you for listening,XO,KellyLinks we promised ~ Mushroom Coffee I enjoy.  Great taste, super convenient and easy to use hot or cold, mild caffeine yet a lot of really nice steady energy and mind clarity.  Love it! https://a.co/d/0gjUTcBx no affiliation or commissionRetreat Reviews ~Lo’s Spring 2026 Sourdough Retreathttps://loskitchenco.com/2025/11/18/spring-2026-sourdough-baking-retreat/Retreat News ~Retreaters stuck in Dubaihttps://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/video/local-travelers-heading-to-bali-retreat-stuck-in-dubai-amid-conflict-in-iran/Even from my small town here in Northern Arizona have a group of 50 women who were stuck in Isreal. https://www.google.com/search?q=arizona+church+group+in+isreal&oq=arizona+church+group+in+isreal&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIJCAEQIRgKGKABMgkIAhAhGAoYoAEyCQgDECEYChigATIJCAQQIRgKGKABMgkIBRAhGAoYoAEyBggGECEYCjIHCAcQIRiPAjIHCAgQIRiPAtIBCDg0MTBqMGo3qAIAsAIA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:77e73055,vid:nBhRZVxM2Tc,st:0Join Kelly on the next Dominican Republic Experience  - https://bucketlistretreats.com/dominican-republicBucket List Retreats.Com - Come check out our retreats, services, blog and all new Retreat Wear Store!Facebook⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/bucketlistretreats Facebook Group⁠⁠ ⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/482660177960836⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠ ⁠https://www.instagram.com/bucket_list_retreats⁠⁠⁠Tiktok⁠⁠ ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@bucketlistretreats⁠⁠⁠⁠Pinterest⁠⁠ ⁠https://www.pinterest.com/BucketListRetreats⁠⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠ ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@Bucketlistretreats⁠⁠⁠Need Travel Inspiration Gifts and Group Shirts for Attendees & Leaders ... we've got it for you on Etsy ⁠BucketListRetreats.Etsy.com⁠⁠⁠Daily Drop App⁠ https://www.dailydrop.com/pro?via=ma0ltySpotify Playlist⁠⁠ https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5qa9uYwKfa959JToF9yrix?si=9rI_L2KVSQ-hwoXM_Acx8w&pi=vVTWjpjdTiSLB⁠⁠Retreat Blueprint Program⁠⁠https://www.wanderlustentrepreneur.com/sp-rbp-aff-25/?cookieUUID=3ef92189-c79b-482c-939c-382b1ace2be7⁠⁠
