- Unlock peace and self-awareness in an unforgettable week
Jo here! I had a crazy idea in 2022 to run a journaling retreat. Next scene is me coordinating a global meetup for 12 diverse souls who flew from all around the world to journal, think, and grow. The experience was magical. It was not only my life’s work, but connected retreaters for life. We have successfully transformed 32 peoples’ lives in our 2023 retreats in Croatia, Mexico, and Greece, and Italy. Will I see you somewhere in the world in 2025?
Get to know your host
Jo Franco
Hi everyone! I’m your host, Jo Franco, a writer, TV host, polyglot, world traveler, and serial learned. I have been journaling for 16 years every single time I’ve been confused, flustered, excited, or I’ve had major changes in my life – and I want you to do the same!
JoClub retreats are my favorite weeks of the year. It’s self-development, love, and growth on steroids in a beautiful destination as a backdrop for unforgettable memories. We spend days together bonding, learning, and sharing what makes us all human. It’s an investment your soul, mind, and body will thank you for. I promise.
We’re your biggest cheerleaders and we really want to help you get to know yourself deeper and connect to lifelong friends. Are you ready?
Love from our past retreaters...
