A Short History of Retreat Guru

More than 20 years ago, Deryk and Cameron merged their meditation practice and technology careers and started building websites for Buddhist retreat centers. As their retreat experience grew and they learned more about these organizations’ operational challenges, they expanded beyond web design, adding registration and booking features on the WordPress foundation.

Around 2013, they began growing the Retreat Guru team and its software and services to appeal to a broader community of retreat and holistic learning centers.

One of RG’s first clients for an early version of today’s product was Temple of the Way of Light, which went live in 2015. Subsequently, they migrated many of their original WordPress web page clients to the “new” RG SaaS product.
