Editorial policy

Editorial independence

Editorial decisions are based on reader usefulness, fit, evidence, safety, and owner/editor judgment.

Future advertising, sponsorship, affiliate, or booking relationships must be disclosed and must not determine conclusions or rankings.

Evidence and sources

We prefer primary and authoritative sources for factual and health-related claims, including public-health bodies, evidence-based guidelines, peer-reviewed research, professional associations, and recognized academic or health institutions.

We distinguish established information, mixed evidence, and editorial interpretation. We do not treat one study, a commercial blog, or an anecdote as universal proof.

Health and mental-health boundaries

retreat.day does not diagnose, provide individualized treatment, recommend medication changes, offer crisis counseling, or replace care from a qualified professional.

We do not present retreats, meditation, breathwork, or self-care as cures. Topics closer to clinical interpretation require stronger sourcing and may require review by a real qualified reviewer.

Authorship and experience

We identify real authors and reviewers. We do not invent visits, interviews, quotations, client stories, credentials, or lived experience.

Hypothetical examples must be labeled as hypothetical and must not be presented as personal history or clinical observation.

Review, publication, corrections

Articles are reviewed before publication, with extra care for health-adjacent claims and higher-risk topics.

We correct material errors and record meaningful updates. Updated dates change only when content has substantively changed.

A public contact route and correction instructions must be finalized before launch.
