For Retreat Leaders & Facilitators

A Wellness Retreat Venue That Holds the Space While You Hold the Work.

246 private acres in North Florida for yoga, breathwork, leadership, and healing retreats — your students, your curriculum, our land.

Built for the people who lead retreats.

River & Roots Ranch is a wellness retreat venue for rent in North Florida — a 246-acre private ranch on the St. Marys River in Bryceville, 40 minutes from Jacksonville, designed for retreat leaders who bring their own students and curriculum. Three-day buyouts are $6,000 off peak (Sun–Wed) or $9,000 peak (Thu–Sat) with lodging for up to 20; two-day formats are $4,000 or $6,000; single-day rentals are $1,500 or $2,500.

If you teach yoga, breathwork, meditation, or lead women's circles, leadership intensives, or teacher trainings, the economics matter as much as the setting: you fill the retreat and set your price; we hold the venue, the meals, and the logistics at a published rate. The land does the rest — morning practice on the lawn as fog lifts off the pasture, guided river walks between sessions, fire-lit closing circles under a dark sky.

Yes — day rentals suit training weekends and studio day retreats, while multi-day intensives use the two-day or three-day formats. Tell us your format and we'll fit the venue around it.

The ranch is 40 minutes from Jacksonville and about the same from Jacksonville International Airport, making it reachable for students flying in from anywhere in the country — without the retreat feeling anywhere near a city.

No — River & Roots is a venue, not a facilitator. The programming, teaching, and student experience are entirely yours. Our team handles the property, meals, and logistics; your voice stays the only voice at the front of the room.
