The rise of wellness retreats for trans people reflects a profound shift in the wellness industry: generic spaces are no longer enough; environments are needed that specifically honor gender experiences, body dysphoria, the transition process, and minority stress. These retreats offer an affirming respite where the body is cared for with sensitivity and the mind is released from constant social surveillance, allowing for authentic and collective healing.
In 2025 and 2026, the landscape has evolved toward programs designed by and for trans, non-binary, and gender-expansive people. Facilitators with lived experience prioritize trauma-informed practices, such as yoga adapted to hormonal changes or post-surgery needs, breathwork to regulate the nervous system, sharing circles, and embodiment practices that celebrate identity without judgment. The result is a safe container that reduces daily emotional burden and fosters self-acceptance. |

Affirmative Retreats In Mexico, the Queer & Trans Yoga Retreat in Puerto Vallarta (Mixed, November–December 2025) stands out for its focus on “embodiment of pleasure” as a form of resistance. Led by trans and queer facilitators such as Avery Kalapa and Kiki Williams, it combines inclusive yoga, healing pleasure, deep rest, and intentional community. With limited capacity and a strong diversity commitment (at least 50% BIPOC and 50% trans/non-binary), it invites participants to release shame and embrace pleasure in a luxurious, eco-conscious beachfront setting. In the United States, Transmission Retreats organizes events for transmasculine adults (including transmasc non-binary people and trans men), with dates such as May 2026. These retreats include workshops, outdoor activities, and Community Circles that encourage connection, growth, and joy within a dedicated space. Spirit Camp in Northern California offers trans-inclusive retreats for male-identified individuals (gay, straight, queer, trans, non-binary), such as the Wild Heart Men’s Breathwork & Embodiment Retreat. It combines holotropic breathwork, group work, and mindfulness practices to reset the nervous system and celebrate the diversity of masculine experiences. For younger participants, Transcending Adolescence hosts Resilience Retreats (such as those in North Carolina, June 2025) for trans and gender-diverse youth ages 13–17, centered on support, recreation, empowerment, and reflection through safe outdoor activities.Other options include queer-trans programs in Bali or Costa Rica via platforms like Retreat.guru, which highlight holistic spaces with facilitators trained in gender diversity, pronoun policies, gender-neutral accommodations, and sessions specifically addressing dysphoria, transition, and intersectionality. Some general LGBTQ+ retreats, such as those by Reunion in Costa Rica, integrate trans participants during weeks focused on pride and authenticity. Benefits that extend beyond the retreat These spaces generate lasting change: reduced anxiety thanks to deep relaxation without the need to “explain oneself,” greater emotional resilience through mutual validation, and support networks that endure over time. Physically, adapted yoga and immersion in nature help reconnect with the body in a positive way; emotionally, sharing circles dismantle isolation and internalized shame. Even with barriers such as cost (generally USD 2,000–5,000) and limited access, growing demand shows that these experiences respond to a real need for wellness that prioritizes trans authenticity without diluting it into the generic. These retreats are not just vacations: they are acts of affirmation where trans bodies feel safe and minds are free to grow. |
