Supporting Meaningful Retreat Experiences with Nourish Travel products designed for connection.
By Gillian Corban
When founder and retreat curator Mandi Gunsberger created Nourish Travel, her vision was simple: to give people permission to pause, reconnect and return home feeling truly nourished.
At Corban & Blair, we believe the products people take home from meaningful experiences should be just as considered as the experience itself. That’s why we’ve loved working alongside Mandi, creating personalised, products that become part of the retreats she curates across Australia and around the world.
A Connection Built Through Shared Values
Mandi and Corban & Blair founder Gillian Corban first connected through Mentor Walks Sydney, where they both volunteer as mentors supporting women in business. While we already knew of each other’s businesses, that connection grew through a shared belief in supporting Australian enterprise, thoughtful design and creating meaningful experiences that leave a lasting impact.
As two female founders, we understand the value of collaboration and the importance of championing businesses that lead with purpose, in particular female led businesses.
Two women-led businesses supporting each other, creating meaningful experiences, and demonstrating how thoughtful products can become part of someone’s journey.
Products That Become Part of the Journey
For Nourish Travel retreats, we’ve produced personalized, products that guests can use throughout their experience and continue to enjoy long after they return home. They are practical and designed to last, these pieces become reminders of the conversations, friendships and moments of reflection that make every retreat unique. Rather than disposable event merchandise, they become keepsakes with genuine meaning.
