Welcome to nOMad's Alchemist Circle!
You are the one who makes the magic possible
Maybe you bring the gifts... the lens, the sound, the food, the movement, the medicine that turns a gathering into a transformation.
Maybe you hold it all together behind the scenes...the logistics, the itinerary, the details that make the experience feel effortless.
Maybe you hold the space...a property that carries its own energy, where people arrive as strangers and leave as family.
Whatever your role, you are not just a vendor.
You are a vital part of something sacred.
And it's time you have a home and a community for that.
Are you an Alchemist?
The Collaborator Membership for the creatives and practitioners who help craft the retreat experience.
Photographers. Chefs. Sound healers. Movement facilitators. Bodyworkers. Breathwork guides. Musicians. Nutritionists. Travel Agents/Coordinators. Retreat Property owners.
If your gift supports transformation — this is where you belong.
The nOMad Collective has spent over a decade building a community of retreat leaders who are actively creating experiences all over the world. They need you. They're looking for you.
Now there's a place where they can find you.
When you join nOMad Alchemists, you receive:
GET SEEN
A dedicated listing inside the nOMad directory searchable by retreat leaders looking to hire collaborators by specialty. Your bio, your offerings, your location, your gifts — visible to the community actively building retreats.
PROMOTE YOUR WORK
Get your work featured directly inside the nOMad Facebook group AND our membership portal, a living community of Guides, New Leaders, and retreat leaders who are planning their next experience.
MAKE REAL CONNECTIONS
Meet our community at our Retreat Collaboration sessions to make the magic of real time connections happen with our Sage Guides, New Leaders, Properties, fellow Alchemists, and visiting guests at our monthly Retreat Matchmaking Sessions and Member Collaboration Calls.
The nOMad Collective, by the numbers
38 active retreat leaders planning retreats in 2027
12 Founding Alchemists since June 2026 (and growing)
24 sessions a year: monthly matchmaking + monthly collaboration.
17+ leader, property, and/or collaborator connections made in the last 12 months
We're intentionally curated, so the people you meet here are actively building retreats, not browsing.
WHO IS THIS MEMBERSHIP FOR
This is for you if you are:
- A skilled practitioner or creative whose work elevates the retreat experience.
- Want to be found by retreat leaders who are actively planning and hosting
- Ready to be part of a community that sees your craft as sacred, not supplemental.
- Want real connections and opportunities, not just a directory listing collecting dust

Do you welcome international members?
Yes. Our leaders host retreats around the world, and our circle is open to collaborators and properties wherever you are.
What qualifies me as an Alchemist?
If your gift helps turn a gathering into a transformation, you belong here. Alchemists are skilled practitioners, creatives, and partners who support retreat leaders in crafting unforgettable experiences, including:
Nourishment: private chefs, nutritionists
Capturing the story: photographers, videographers, content creators
Body & movement: movement facilitators, bodyworkers, massage therapists, yoga and breathwork guides
Sound & spirit: sound healers, musicians, ceremonial and traditional healing practitioners
Making it happen: travel agents, retreat coordinators, logistics and hospitality support
Holding the space: retreat properties that welcome outside leaders and their groups
What matters most is that you're experienced in your craft, aligned with our values, and excited to collaborate. Don't see your gift here? Reach out. If it serves transformation, there's likely a place for you.
LIMITED TIME OFFER AS A FOUNDING MEMBER
One booking pays for years of membership.
Consider: a single retreat gig — photography, private chef, sound journey — often brings in $500 to $2,000 or more. Your nOMad Alchemist membership puts you in front of the people booking exactly that.
This is more than a directory, it's a community to come home to.
