Travel the World, Increase your Income and Provide Transformative Retreat Experiences

Create, Plan, and Launch Your Profitable Retreat in Just 5 Weeks

Have you dreamed of hosting your own transformative retreat but feel overwhelmed by the logistics? The truth is, many therapists hesitate to take the leap into retreat planning, even though they know it could elevate their practice and income. 

Fear of failure, uncertainty about the details, or simply not knowing where to start holds so many back.

 

Do these concerns sound familiar?

"What if I choose the wrong venue or don’t have the right budget in place?"
"How do I handle the marketing and sales to actually fill my retreat?"
"What about legal issues and liability — am I covered?"


If you’re like most therapists, these fears are real, but they don’t have to stop you. You became a therapist because you’re passionate about creating transformative experiences, and a retreat is one of the most impactful ways to do that. 

 

You just need the right guidance, tools and resources to feel prepared, confident, and in control.

That’s why we created The Retreat Intensive Program – a step-by-step program that eliminates overwhelm, tackles your doubts, and equips you with everything you need to design, market, and lead a successful retreat, even if this is your very first one.

Picture yourself hosting a retreat like this....
