Wellness retreats, festivals, parties — the gatherings actually worth leaving home for, hand-picked into one index. BE OOO is live now, with the app on the way.

Your calendar says busy. Everything else says otherwise. BE OOO — Be Out Of Office — is a new kind of travel guide: the first curated index of the gatherings worth leaving home for. Wellness retreats, festivals, parties and assemblies, hand-picked one by one. No endless listings, no scraped feeds. An index, not a feed.

The Index: Eight Ways Out

BE OOO sorts the world of getting away into eight doors: Wellness, Mental Health, Wealth, Parties, Design, Nature, Spiritual and Digital Detox. Behind them, 46 gatherings are live in the Index today — an aurora immersion in Iceland, sound and ceremony with RestAura in Tepoztlán, Zamna in a sandstone amphitheatre above the Red Sea, Day Zero in the Tulum jungle, Wonderfruit in Thailand, Boom in Portugal, AfrikaBurn in the Karoo, and a full house for Miami Art Week. It calls itself “the most curated index of high-end wellness retreats, party retreats and festivals” — and then tries to prove it, one listing at a time.

Every listing carries what you actually need to decide: dates, place, price, the people behind it, and the feeling of the thing — written by humans who would go themselves.

Inside the App

BE OOO is also becoming an app — iPhone and Android are on the way, and a live demo is already open. It starts with a slide: Be out of the office. The welcome screens set the terms — the Index, your calendar, your taste — and then you are inside: healer profiles for the practitioners behind the practices (David Boot, breathwork and cold exposure in Amsterdam, is one), full event pages with dates and prices, and a map view that spreads the whole Index across the world.

Curated, Not Scraped

Anyone can aggregate a thousand retreats. BE OOO lists dozens — on purpose. Each entry is chosen by an editor and checked by hand: a community connected directly to the organisers, as the welcome screen puts it. If it is in the Index, it earned its place. That is the whole product: taste, applied to your time off.
