Choosing activities for the retreat you are planning means working as a team with the retreat leader.

The most successful retreats follow the theme of the retreat and replicate it in every activity, discussion, game, and other learning experience in creative ways, making the participants focus their attention without feeling overwhelmed.‍

You want the participants to be able to learn and have a good time. Make sure not to overbook the schedule and give plenty of breaks and time to explore the venue or the location, experience the local culture, and make connections with the other participants.

This will amount to an impactful and transforming experience. Have more questions about choosing activities for your retreat? Send me a DM I would love to help!

Retreats create a deep connection between you and your clients.

They become loyal and, in turn, bring friends and advertise for you 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 A retreat can become part of one of your programs, i.e., a 9-week session that ends or begins with a retreat (or both).

You´ll have your client's full attention during the outing for days—this is Marketing gold! Therefore, you can upsell to other programs. That is right! Retreats catapult all your programs 📚The best part? Only one retreat can generate up to five figures in revenue.

Do you know what it takes to be a successful and, more importantly, impactful retreat leader?

Here´s a list of qualities we consider essential for a retreat leader to display:

👉 Calmness: A stressed mind cannot function to its full potential. In short, the leader should be able to stay calm in difficult situations. This Calmness rubs off on others on the team, the guests, and the retreat as a whole.

👉 Happiness: A person is only able to influence and impact others if they themselves are happy. Never forget that Happiness is energy, and it resonates.

👉 Open-mindedness: the best leaders intuit what a student does and doesn’t know, but they are not presumptuous.

👉 Confidence: retreat leaders need to be able to fend for the program’s objectives and schedule, as well as for the participants. Confidence can be felt by others, and leaders can’t lead without it.

Planning a Retreat? Here's how to accommodate diverse dietary needs:

When organizing a retreat, catering to various dietary restrictions and preferences is paramount for a satisfying experience.
- Conduct a pre-retreat survey to gather participant information, including allergies and preferences.
- Offer a diverse menu with options for vegetarians, vegans, gluten-free, dairy-free, and nut-free diets.
- Ensure clear labelling of dishes and collaborate closely with chefs to communicate needs effectively.

Providing customizable meal options and stocking up on alternative ingredients can enhance participant satisfaction. Don't forget to offer a selection of snacks and refreshments to keep everyone energized!

Naming your retreat is an important step, as it sets the tone and communicates the essence of your event. Here's a shorter exercise with key considerations for naming your retreat:

Example Retreat:

Theme: Yoga and Meditation
Location: A Mountain Retreat Center in Canada
Activities: Daily yoga sessions, guided meditation, nature hikes, mindfulness workshops
Desired Outcome: Inner peace, relaxation, connection with nature

KEY considerations:

- Consider the core essence of the retreat, which includes yoga, meditation, and nature. Think about the feelings and experiences participants will encounter.

- Brainstorm words and phrases that capture the essence of the retreat.

- Experiment with combining different keywords to create unique and memorable names.

- Share your top name choices with friends, family, or colleagues you can get their thoughts and impressions to help you make your final decision. Ask them which name resonates most with them and why.

- Review the feedback and trust your instincts to choose the name that best reflects the essence of your retreat. Select a name that evokes the desired emotions and aligns with the overall vision and goals of the event. Feel free to tag me if you want some feedback.

Innovation is the heartbeat of progress, and retreats are no exception!

Instead of traditional retreat themes like yoga or wellness, unique themes can add a fresh and exciting twist to the retreat experience. These themes could be inspired by various interests, such as adventure, creativity, self-discovery, or even niche hobbies like gourmet cooking or sustainable living. The key is to choose a theme that resonates with your target audience and offers a distinctive retreat experience they won't find elsewhere.

Cutting-edge activities involve incorporating the latest trends, technologies, or methodologies into the retreat program. These activities could range from immersive virtual reality experiences and high-tech meditation sessions to innovative team-building exercises and outdoor adventures with a modern twist.

Staying ahead of the curve and offering engaging and novel activities, you can captivate your participants and create experiences that will set your retreat apart.

Though business has been my career, art is my calling. Born with artistic talent, I pursued design in school before pivoting into business and later psychology. Through it all, I stayed connected to art by leading creative direction for my companies.

So I'm honored and excited to combine my artistic passion and business experience as Chairperson for FAE Canada. My company RetreatBoss proudly sponsors FAE's inspiring work uplifting artists and mental health initiatives nationwide.

Stay tuned as FAE hosts upcoming events across Canada, including Vancouver Island this September. With FAE's talented and passionate team, I know we'll make a meaningful impact - both for the creative community and for those living with mental health challenges.

Thank you to FAE Founder Mariel Nichole Anderson for welcoming me home to my creative soul. I can't wait to see the good we'll do together!

The Art of Budget Allocation:

Allocating budget between accommodations and experiences is a pivotal decision that shapes the overall retreat experience. Striking the right balance involves understanding that accommodations provide the physical space, while experiences contribute to the transformative journey.

A general guideline is to designate 40-50% of the budget to accommodations to ensure comfort and a secure base for participants. The remaining 50-60% can be distributed among experiences, allowing for a diverse range of activities that align with the retreat's goals.

This allocation not only ensures financial stability but also enhances the overall value participants derive from the retreat.
