If you’ve been considering joining, now is the perfect time to take advantage of the current pricing!⁣ ⁣ From beginning to end, 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗥𝗼𝗮𝗱𝗺𝗮𝗽 breaks down exactly what I do with each of my own retreats and also for my clients. This course is a culmination of my 10 years of experience leading retreats and the tens of thousands of dollars I’ve spent on professional training.⁣ ⁣ 💫𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁:⁣ ⁣ 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗲 𝟭: Getting Startted⁣ 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗲 𝟮: Picking Your Location⁣ 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗲 𝟯: Setting Up Your Business⁣ 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗲 𝟰: Ideal Client & Theme⁣ 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗲 𝟱: Retreat Pricing⁣ 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗲 𝟲: Setting Up Your Website⁣ 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗲 𝟳: Contracts ⁣ 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗲 𝟴: Announcing & Promoting⁣ 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗲 𝟵: Preparation & Arrival⁣ 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗲 𝟭𝟬: Making It Special⁣ 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗲 𝟭𝟭: Your Retreat As A Stepping Stone⁣ 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗲 𝟭𝟮: Post Retreat⁣ ⁣ 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗲𝘀:⁣ ⁣ ✔️Over 2 hours of video instruction ⁣ ✔️In-course coaching from me⁣ ✔️Checklists for all 12 modules to keep you on track⁣ ✔️Transcripts and key summarized points⁣ ✔️Email templates for venue and student communication⁣ ⭐️𝗕𝗢𝗡𝗨𝗦: Legal contract (

Lots of times, potential retreat leaders will get caught up in how cool a venue looks like from the outside and don't consider how their clients will be spending 33% of their time: in bed⁣ ⁣ There are a lot of venues that want to cram as many people into their space as possible, but they only have so many rooms to offer. Many places have "dorm room" options where they'll put two or three sets of bunk beds in there. They also might not have single room options forcing people who don't know each other to room together. Or share a bed (this happened to me once 🥴) and you can be sure that this will anger someone who's not expecting it.⁣ ⁣ Other places I've looked at only have single beds 30" x 74" (last time you were in one of these you were probably a child) and three or four of them in a space.⁣ Maybe when I was in my early 20s and had lower standards for sleeping arrangements would I have been ok with this (maybe), but nowadays none of the above options would call my name and would actually be a deterrent for me going on a trip- this is also true for many people's clientele.⁣ ⁣ 𝗕𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗼𝗺 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲: if you have actual grown ups coming on your retreat, give them grown up options. Pick a place that they're feel comfortable, have their desired privacy and sleep well. Ask for the exact room configurations, the measurements of the beds and be honest with yourself about whether or not your participants will be happy with the rooming situation.⁣ ⁣ There's so much to keep in mind when looking for a venue that will ensure your retreat will be a smashing success and I've already done a lot of the footwork and made a lot of the mistakes on my own so you don't have to (thank

One of the biggest sources of concern for new retreat leaders is whether or not they will lose money. It’s one the most common reasons why some people don’t take the plunge- I get it!⁣ ⁣ In order to reserve space at a retreat venue, you need to put down a deposit- it goes towards your final bill at the end, so I always look at it like I’m “getting it back” at the end.⁣ ⁣ Myself personally and many clients that I work with, tend to gravitate towards venues with lower deposits. However, some venues want you to put down a percentage, which can come out to…lotsa money.⁣ ⁣ So how can you get some piece of mind when putting down thousands of dollars towards your retreat?⁣ ⁣ If you’re offering something domestically, you can get what’s called “Event Insurance”. There are lots of companies that offer this and it’s pretty straight forward.⁣ ⁣ Now, if you’re going internationally: you can obtain travel insurance and purchase it within 14 days of putting down your deposit so you can take advantage of “Cancel Anytime” insurance. Some reputable places include: Travelguard, Good Allianz, Tinleg and Squaremouth. This will help you recoup most of your money if something happens.⁣ ⁣ If you’re working with a venue that requires you to make payments along the way (they’re usually non-refundable)- I would require my clients to purchase travel insurance. You’ll see with my client’s retreats, I require people to purchase it for some and not for others (because I don’t have to pay them until the very end).⁣ ⁣ While the first retreat is a little bit of an investment to get up and running, once you hit your minimum number of needed sign ups, then you can start planning the next one 6 months later and rotate through two a year. After the first one, things flow much more easily.⁣ ⁣ ✨𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘁

l've said it once and I'll say it again: your retreat needs to have a 𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲, it needs to solve a problem. Without that, your retreat is just a vacation that someone could plan on their own.⁣ ⁣ ✨The #1 thing that you need to know in order to have a successful and sold out retreat is 𝗔𝗪𝗔𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗘𝗦𝗦 𝗢𝗙 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗔𝗨𝗗𝗜𝗘𝗡𝗖𝗘.⁣ ⁣ Knowing your audience will help you to come up with your retreat theme, find your retreat venue, create compelling sales copy for your website, market your retreat and create an unforgettable experience.⁣ ⁣ 🙌🏼Getting clear on who the retreat is for will guide all of your decisions and your audience will have no choice but to sign up for your retreat because it's tailored to them, you are speaking 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗴𝗲 and you are 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺.⁣ ⁣ The problem you are solving can be very niche or it can be more broad (while you break down the subtle complexities of it during the retreat), but give your clients a reason to come and make sure you know what they need.⁣ ⁣ 💫𝗡𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 on who your audience is? I go over all of this in 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗥𝗼𝗮𝗱𝗺𝗮𝗽 and include interview questions for you to answer about your ideal client so you'll know 𝘄𝗵𝗼 you're talking to and 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 they need. https://panaceatrainings.com/roadmap

✨Not sure how to price your retreat? Most people have no idea!⁣ ⁣ And that’s too bad because they’re most likely undercharging- not just for their time and effort but for all the upfront costs that need to be paid for!⁣ ⁣ As a retreat leader (for over a decade) and a travel advisor specializing in retreat planning, I’ve learned so much about the ins and outs of planning, creating and executing successful AND profitable retreats. Pricing has got to be one of the biggest places people get stuck, but it doesn’t have to be hard!⁣ ⁣ 💰 So how will we do this?

I’m leaving in 2 weeks to lead my own (yoga) retreat and I wanted to show you how I’ll weave my overall retreat theme into my daily classes.⁣ ⁣ Out of the 8 days of the retreat, I’ll be teaching material for 6.⁣ ⁣ The theme of my retreat is “𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗧𝗼 𝗕𝗲”. This is what I’m thinking…⁣ ⁣ 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝟭 of classes: I’ll teach about grounding and connecting to the earth, feet and legs to foster a sense of safety and security- necessary for one to let go and feel free.⁣ ⁣ 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝟮: The theme for class will be “𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗼𝗺 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻” and I’ll teach almost a water-themed class where movement will be loose, fluid and unrestricted so students can let go of rigidity in their bodies and find their own sense of expression.⁣ ⁣ 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝟯: This theme will be “𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗨𝗽 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲” and we’ll work to build heat and fire in the solar plexus and incorporate lots of opening in chest and arms- we’ll take up space.⁣ ⁣ 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝟰: This class will be titled, “𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗕𝗲 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗱” and I’ll teach something close to a throat chakra class- lots of ujjayi breath to movement, opening/closing of the throat and neck releases followed by OM chants to reveal our unrestricted voices.⁣ ⁣ 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝟱: This class will be “𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝗲𝗲” which will be all about connecting to our intuition and enjoying the freedom that comes when we learn to trust ourselves. I’m thinking we’ll close our eyes for part of the class and attune to more subtle layers of information.⁣ ⁣ 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝟲: On the last day, I was thinking about teaching a class about connecting our own hearts and acknowledging how much more deeply we can fall in love with ourselves (and each other!) w

🤔 People will give you all sorts of reasons why they can’t come a retreat: the money, work, their foot hurts, whatever…⁣⁣But, 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆.

You need to demonstrate that 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱 your clients and their pain points (what do they stay up late at night thinking about?), you need to be able to demonstrate your 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 on the situation and also 𝗛𝗢𝗪 you can help them with their pain points.

🙌🏼99% of people want to make money on their retreat. And you should! Your effort and energy is valuable and your energetic output is going to be WAY more potent and meaningful if you know you’re being compensated well. So let’s talk about how to do it…⁣⁣⚡️𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘀: You must be aware of ALL of your upfront costs that you’ll need to cover no matter what. This goes FAR beyond lodging, food and shuttle. You also need to take into account taxes, credit card fees, early bird deals (no these do NOT come out of your profit), your travel, excursions, gift bags, etc.⁣⁣⚡️𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗶𝘁: Be clear on how much you want to make and the minimum amount of people you need to attend the retreat. Want to make $10k and you need at least 8 people at attend? $10k/8= $1250 ➡️ 𝗔𝗗𝗗 $𝟭𝟮𝟱𝟬 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗶𝘁⁣⁣⚡️𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗣𝗮𝗴𝗲: You NEED to have a sales page that clearly describes the benefits of the retreat and what people can expect to receive for their investment. This goes beyond what’s included (food, lodging, yoga, shuttle, etc) but what transformation can they expect from the unique experience that you are creating?⁣⁣⚡️𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁: This is no time to be timid about getting the word out! Make sure you’re marketing consistently and confidently. You cannot get caught up in whether you’re annoying people or not (𝗽𝘀𝘀𝘁, 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻’𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 😏) you need to make sure that everyone 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗯𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 in coming 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝟭𝟬+ 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀 (whether that

Some teachers are ok with breaking even or not making a lot and some teachers are looking to make a large profit and be away for longer. For some people, local retreats are what feels right for a while, while others are eager to see the world.

I'm of the mindset that our clients deserve the best we have to offer (whether we're leading a retreat or teaching a yoga class) and it's important to honor their trust, time and money- 𝘀𝗼 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁?⁣⁣✨A retreat planner can help you steer clear from making relationship-breaking mistakes and help you plan and curate a transformational experience that will change people's lives and create repeat business. You can't simply google, "how to lead a retreat" and expect to get all the information you need about creating a flawless experience, let along just "pulling it off".⁣⁣Would you want to spend your time, money and energy to go on a retreat with someone who just googled it up? As the retreat leader, we are the point of authority and people will be looking to US to uphold and maintain the integrity of the experience, how can we do that if we're just winging it and don't know what to expect or anticipate? If a host is confused, unsure and/or uneducated about what they're doing, it shows and I don't want that for anyone- especially the students.⁣⁣👀 Hosting a retreat without having an experienced set of eyes on the whole thing can be disasterous. Selling your retreat on EventBrite? Yikes. Don’t have iron clad Ts and Cs? You’ll be sorry. Looking at open air accommodations deep in the jungle because they’re cheaper? You’ll definitely be sorry. And so will your students.⁣⁣My passion is to steer my clients away from red flags and in the right direction so not only will they feel taken care of as a host, but their participants can relax knowing that they’re supported by a planner who knows what works and what doesn’t. ⁣⁣✨Are you ready to start planning your 2024 retreat with the support, guidance and expertise of a retreat planner? Whether you work with me directly or use the guidance of 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻

I talk about this all the time, a retreat is not a vacation someone could plan on their own. There are specific things that make a retreat ✨𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁✨ and one of those things is making sure people feel so cared for that they can 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘅 enough to have a transformation.⁣⁣What’s one of the most important things you can do to ensure that?⁣⁣🙌🏼𝗠𝗔𝗞𝗘 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗥𝗘𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗧 𝗔𝗟𝗟-𝗜𝗡𝗖𝗟𝗨𝗦𝗜𝗩𝗘🙌🏼⁣⁣Don’t make people figure out where/how to get a hotel.⁣⁣Don’t make people have to figure out how to get from the airport to the hotel.⁣⁣Don’t make people figure out how/where to get food.⁣⁣I promise you, not including one (or all) of these things is the fastest way to turn someone off from wanting to come. These things stress people out and a retreat is meant to be a sanctuary for people to relax, unwind and transform.⁣⁣Sound like a lot to keep in mind? I go over all of this in 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗥𝗼𝗮𝗱𝗺𝗮𝗽 so you’ll be completely IN THE KNOW with creating a special and unforgettable experience where your clients can truly relax and learn.

𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀…⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ I’ve been a yoga and fitness teacher for 15 years. For many of those years, I taught 15-20 classes a week just to barely get by. In fact, the crazy thing is class rates (what teachers make) are almost the same 𝗡𝗢𝗪 as they were 𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗡 😱 It appeared that the only way to make more was to work more and I tried to sub as many classes as possible.⁣ ⁣ Throughout the years, I had been at the mercy of studio owners and managers, putting a cap on what I could make, asking me to come in early and stay late without being paid for my time. I was desperate to keep my job, keep people happy (and they knew it)- the thought of getting fired because I stood up for myself or said “no” was constantly lingering overhead and I KNOW I’m not alone in this experience. ⁣ ⁣ Becoming a full-time yoga/fitness teacher is not as glamorous as people think it is 𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 if you don’t have anyone (partner, parents) to fall back on if you need help financially.⁣ ⁣ When I got into leading retreats, things completely changed for me. Not only was I actually making decent money for the first time, but I was able to let go of some classes, I found a new confidence in myself and what I have to offer and I became determined to be my own boss and never rely on anyone else to determine my destiny again. I was quite literally 𝗮 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝘄𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻.⁣ ⁣ Fast forward to now, I have a hard boundary on my teaching bandwidth, I say 𝗻𝗼 to picking up new classes, I only teach because I 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼, I have zero financial ceiling and a whole new life has opened up for me simply because I started leading retreats. ⁣ ⁣ I wouldn’t give up this freedom for anything and I love to show other teachers, healers and creatives how that can learn how to incorporate retreats into their offerings, as well. ⁣ ⁣
