Description
This one-day mastermind intensive is designed to guide you through the core stages of retreat creation—from initial vision to a structured, launch-ready retreat framework.
Together, we’ll focus on:
• Clarifying your retreat concept and ideal audience
• Designing a meaningful and transformational retreat experience
• Exploring the psychology and neuroscience behind impactful experiences
• Strengthening your leadership and facilitation approach
• Creating aligned and sustainable pricing
• Developing messaging that connects with the right participants
• Mapping out a simple marketing and enrollment strategy
Here’s how our 6 hours together will flow:
Part 1: Vision + Retreat Foundations
Clarify your retreat concept, ideal audience, and the transformation you’re here to guide people through. Through guided mastermind discussion and live coaching, you’ll begin refining your retreat vision in real time.
Part 2: The Science of Transformation
Learn the psychology and neuroscience behind meaningful retreat experiences—and how to intentionally design for lasting impact using evidence-based principles.
Part 3: Designing the Experience
Create the structure, flow, and session design for a retreat that feels intentional, supportive, and transformative. You’ll workshop your ideas and receive collaborative feedback and support.
Part 4: Leadership + Facilitation
Step into grounded leadership and explore evidence-based practices for holding safe, impactful spaces. Includes live coaching and facilitation guidance to strengthen your confidence as a retreat leader.
Part 5: Pricing + Positioning
Align your pricing with the value of your work while creating an offer that feels sustainable, clear, and aligned. We’ll refine offers together through mastermind-style strategy and feedback.
Part 6: Marketing, Enrollment + Launch Planning
Craft messaging that resonates, create a simple enrollment strategy, and map out your next steps toward launch so you leave with clarity, momentum, and a plan you can immediately implement.
Throughout the experience, you’ll have space to workshop ideas, receive live coaching, ask questions, and refine your retreat in real time alongside other clinicians and facilitators building meaningful experiences of their own.
By the end of the day, you’ll leave with greater clarity, a stronger retreat framework, actionable next steps, and the confidence to begin moving your retreat toward launch in 2027.
