"This Retreat Is Really What I Needed." | Queer Retreats

Jourdan Hussein shares what he took away from attending an LGBTQ+ wellness experience by Queer Retreats.

Jourdan is a globally trained and ICF-certified Executive/Founders Coach, specializing in tech startups and supporting underrepresented founders and CXOs, including those from socioeconomically, racially diverse, and LGBTQ+ communities. With an MBA from Stanford, and MPP from Oxford, he merges practical coaching theories and psychological frameworks, diverse leadership experiences, and somatic insights to empower leaders to navigate significant leadership scaling and organizational shifts. Inspired by his transformative experiences with sacred plant medicines, he advocates for deep inner work and inclusivity. He also invests in startups with disruptive missions and organizes LGBTQ+ healing retreats to foster growth and belonging.

Jourdan recently joined us for a Queer Retreats wellbeing experience and was kind enough to share with us what she took away from her stay at Casa De Colores.

Everything has been handled very well, impeccably. The food has been amazing, the nature is breath-taking, the activities are very nourishing and thought-provoking, heart-provoking and body-nourishing as well. - Jourdan Hussein

The discussion was so rich, with so many Queer Leaders from so many different backgrounds, coming from so many different countries, genders, identities, socioeconomic status and professions. That was the rich tapestry which composed this retreat. It's what makes this retreat really meaningful and insightful. - Jourdan Hussein

Jordan reflected on how deeply impacted he was by the retreat's reframing of joy, realising it is something innate that lives within us which we can cultivate, rather than something we must seek out from external forces.

As queer people we have suffered a lot from marginalisation, stigmatisation, persecution, violence and misunderstanding. And yet we can still find those inner resources, that inner reservoir of joy that is so unlimited, it's divine." - Jourdan Hussein

Jourdan joined our "Reclaiming Joy" retreat, which invites participants to reconnect with their essential nature, reclaiming their joy, well-being, and personal power as a means to navigate challenging circumstances. Through inner awareness, reflection, and practical tools, we guide participants on how to cultivate resilience and safeguard their mental health as Queer people, while fostering strength to face life's difficulties with renewed clarity and peace.

If you’re a queer professional or leader feeling the weight of burnout, isolation, or the need to reconnect to your purpose—our wellness experiences are built with you in mind. Find your retreat.
