Today we’d like to introduce you to Shannon Jamail.
Shannon, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
Over a decade ago, I started hosting retreats all around the country. My goal originally, as a mental health therapist, was to create a space where people could find healing and reconnection. I quickly found that ALL of us could use a reset, not just those who are seeking a therapeutic environment, and so my retreats have changed and evolved to be inclusive for all of us that are just looking for a break, that reset or simply to get away from the everyday.
About three or four years into hosting retreats, I knew I wanted to open my own retreat center. As much as I loved traveling, I could never find exactly what I was looking for in a space in order to create the experience for my guests that I really wanted. It took seven more years to make it happen, but that is the beginning of our story here at Retreat Ranch.
Retreat Ranch is a 46 acre family-owned glamping experience. From intimate retreats and events to individual overnight stays, you can experience both glamping and country living on this beautiful ranch located in Marble Falls, the heart of Texas Hill Country. It is the perfect place to retreat from the stress and noise of the outside world and tune into nature and yourself.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Not at all. But a lot of amazing things come with challenges first (and throughout :). From finding the right space to building costs, to covid (shut down happened right after we signed all the docs for the property) to building issues- we have run into problems from day one. Despite them all, we are still grateful and we still show up excited to be building something special.
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
Currently, I host ladies yoga & wellness retreats around the world and at our new retreat center ranch in Marble Falls as well as a creator of online programs. My goal is to create programs and experiences that elevate women in mind & body.
I am proud of the many women who have shown up for themselves and left with incredible connections and tools as well as a new appreciation for themselves.
I also authored a best-selling book that helps individuals dig deep into what is holding them back in order to live a fulfilled life (Surrender is the title).
What’s next?
We are going to continue to build out our retreat center ranch, adding more accommodations and programs that I am super excited about!
Pricing:
- Retreats start at $475 (tent accommodation) to $850 for our private yurt/vintage trailer accommodations
- Yoga teacher training online starts at $1200
