SoulTreat is a soul-healing, soul-filling, soul-connecting retreat, where wellness seekers don’t just learn … they change.
SoulTreat 2026 is The Wellness Universe’s signature in-person wellness retreat hosted at the Art of Living Retreat Center in Boone, NC from April 28–May 1, 2026.
Across three transformative days, guests experience workshops, healing modalities, meditation, community connection, and guided self-development, plus a lively SoulTreat Fair open to the public.
This is a high-trust, high-intention, highly engaged environment, where people are actively investing in their wellbeing, and open to brands that genuinely support that journey.
Why SoulTreat is a powerful brand environment
SoulTreat attracts a community of wellness seekers, practitioners, and purpose-driven humans who prioritize:
- Self-care and holistic support
- Mindfulness and emotional wellbeing
- Natural, conscious, and better-for-you products
- Growth, healing, and meaningful life change
- Community, connection, and values-led living
SoulTreat Retreat Attendance: 130 - 150 Retreat Attendees/Ticket holders - Room Capacity not to exceed 150, so this is our upper limit for the Retreat.
Unique Attendees over the course of the event: 150 - 200+ - The SoulTreat Fair is open to the public, no need for a ticket to the retreat, which brings in more local people.
Expanded reach: global visibility through The Wellness Universe’s practitioners, authors, mentors, partners, and corporate wellness expansion.
Why sponsorship works now (and why SoulTreat is a proven environment)
Digital marketing has its place, but many brands are feeling the reality: rising costs, crowded feeds, and results that can be harder to sustain. In-person experiences create what digital can’t replicate: trust, emotional connection, and lasting memory.
SoulTreat is a proven retreat experience with a growing reputation. After three successful SoulTreat retreats, we’ve built a community that returns, refers, and stays connected and sponsors benefit from being introduced through an experience people genuinely love.
Experiential marketing research shows:
- 91% of consumers are more likely to purchase after a brand experience (when interested)
- 43% feel more loyal to a brand after attending an experience
- 78% prefer live experiences over digital
When someone feels uplifted and supported, they don’t just remember the retreat… they remember who helped make it possible.
