Retreat Guru is software for finding and booking retreats and managing retreat centers. Its $108K a month was founder-reported on the Indie Hackers product page (not independently verified), as of September 30, 2026.

What it actually sells

Retreat Guru sells retreat discovery, booking, and retreat-center management software. Its marketplace covers wellness, healing, and spiritual experiences, with retreats listed worldwide and browsable by type, location, and topic.

Retreat centers can list events on the marketplace and use the integrated Retreat Management System. The site describes the system as built exclusively for retreat centers.

How it charges

The product's price could not be identified on the pages we read; currency amounts appear on the pages but none could be tied to the product's own pricing. Retreat Guru also displays a "Best Price Guarantee" for retreat bookings.

Where customers come from

Retreat Guru publishes retreat-related Stories and Inspirations. It also offers educational beginner and location guides, including "The Beginner's Guide to Magic Mushroom (Psilocybin) Retreats: A Path to Personal Growth and Healing".

The site provides retreat-center marketplace listings under "Promote your Event" and "List Your Retreat". It also presents Retreat Guru RMS as a product for retreat centers.

What stands out

Where it sits in the data

Retreat Guru's $108K a month is higher than 89% of the 6,604 projects with founder-reported monthly revenue in our dataset; the median across them is $2K. Snapshot: 2026-09-30. The dataset only covers founders who chose to publish their numbers, so it leans toward businesses that work; use it for scale, not as an average.

Currency

All figures are in US dollars as published. A rough yuan or euro conversion is not applied here because prices, taxes and acquisition costs differ by country.

Could you build something like this?

My view: demand would center on retreat-seekers who need discovery and booking, and retreat centers that need event promotion and operations software. Distribution would need visible surfaces such as retreat stories, guides, and event listings.

My view: the hard parts include regulation around the retreats being promoted, support load across bookings and center operations, and competition in both travel discovery and retreat software.

Verdict: Hard to replicate.

One thing to take from it

One useful product lesson is to look at a complete workflow: help retreat-seekers discover and book, then give retreat centers tools to promote events and manage operations.
