Places to Be - A Compendium of Transformational Holidays

	Using the Retreat Seeker Many traditional establishments cater for retreats but there are also a growing number of smaller venues. Check whether retreats are for individuals or groups and if guidance is available.
	Using the Workshop Seeker Search on subject speciality headings. These categories can only be a very crude guide. Often the text on the venue's page is more specific, and do contact them for detailed information.
	Using the Venue Seeker If you're looking for a place to run your own event then you'll probably want to search on size and features such as catering options. More detail is given on venues' own pages, but do check info has not changed.
	Using the B&B Seeker Many places listed are representative of a new breed of B&B which offer something more. Perhaps it's catering for special diets, perhaps an educational service or healing therapy.
	Using the Health Spa Seeker These are retreats that focus on relaxation and on healing the body, mind and spirit. Check for more details on the health spa's own page, and with the establishment itself.
	Using the Holiday Seeker Search on broad holiday types. Some operators may use only one venue, some several, while other organise tours. Often the text on the operator's page is more specific, and do contact them for detailed information.

For more than ten years, Places to Be has been helping people to find retreats, workshop centres and alternative holidays as well as venues in which they can run their own events.

Much of that information is now available on this website for you to browse through. But you can still get the book - either by ordering online or sending a cheque in the post. On this site, you might like to choose a category from the tabs along the top and then further refine your search in the area below that. We hope you will find the perfect place to be, and also of course that when you book with them, you mention our site. It will help maintain this service for you, and for all the places herein. Good luck with your search, and may you have a happy, meaningful and inspiring stay.
