5 WAYS TO GET STARTED TODAY HOSTING A RETREAT:⁣⁠⁣

1️⃣Establish Your Why⁣⁠⁣

~ This keep you focused and motivated as well as help you relay to your guests what the experience they’re signing up for is all about.⁣⁠⁣

⁣⁠⁣2️⃣Determine Your Target Audience⁣⁠⁣

~Anyone and everyone is not an acceptable answer here. If you’re not specific, you’re going to confuse anyone that’s paying attention and it’s definitely not going to make them want to sign up for your retreat.⁣⁠⁣

⁣⁠⁣3️⃣Market Research⁣⁠⁣

~This takes the guesswork out of your job as host. When you ask very short, specific questions, your audience will give you feedback that you can use to sell your retreat.⁣⁠⁣

⁣⁠⁣4️⃣Write Down a Draft Schedule⁣⁠⁣

~This is where it gets more fun because you start to see your retreat come to life. Start mapping out your itinerary for your retreat so that you can start planning location and dates.⁣⁠⁣

⁣⁠⁣5️⃣Show Up!⁣⁠⁣

~The only difference between someone that’s hosted a retreat and someone that hasn’t is the decision to show up. Take tiny, actionable steps each day and before you know it, you’ll be hosting your dream retreat!⁣⁠⁣

You might need some extra help if...

  • The thought of planning the details leaves you feeling overwhelmed⁣

  • Logistics are NOT your thing⁣

  • Budget and numbers make your skin crawl    ⁣

  • You don’t have the time or energy to plan a retreat ⁣
