    Travel has changed. Guests aren’t just booking a place to stay — they’re seeking meaning, calm, and connection. Hosting today requires more than amenities or aesthetics. It needs soul. It needs to stand out.

    That’s why The Slow Living Hosting™ Masterclass exists.

    This isn’t just a course — it’s a blueprint for thoughtful, feel-good hosting that guests remember, return for, and happily pay more to experience.

    This course is for you if:

    • You own or run a holiday home or boutique-style stay

    • You want your space to feel personal, not just pretty

    • You’re done with generic advice that lacks soul

    • You care about guest experience and sustainable income

You’ll learn how to layer lighting for atmosphere, design intuitive guest flows, and soften spaces through acoustics and thoughtful material choices. We’ll dive deep into colour psychology, showing you how to create palettes that evoke emotion, memory, and meaning.

    You’ll also learn how to style for your ideal guest’s emotional state — whether romantic, grounding, peaceful, or energising.

    Plus, we’ll cover natural materials, texture & finishes pairing, scent layering, art placement, outdoor zones, and more — all approached with soulful, intentional design that goes far beyond aesthetics.
