Lead a Retreat

A retreat should be more than a learning experience, more than a trip to an inspiring location and more than a dedicated time for self-improvement. A retreat is a transformational event that can turn curiosity into lifelong passions, a foreign place into your home away from home and downtime into growth time.

At Retreat Space we understand that retreats for different disciplines requires a certain setting, schedule and a wide variety of service providers to make it possible. Our expertise is in running unparalleled events where both experts and participants grow as individuals and become lifelong learners.

Steps to a successful retreat

Discuss your skills: We begin by discussing your skills and what you can offer to a retreat. Whether you are a yoga teacher, beer maker, cheese maker, chef, or other artisan, it's important to understand your unique talents and what you can bring to the table.
Determine the location: We'll need to choose a location that complements your skills and provides an ideal setting for the retreat. For example, if you're a yoga teacher, we might look for a serene location with ample space for practicing yoga. If you're a beer maker, we might choose a location near a brewery or with access to local ingredients.
Determine the duration: The duration of the retreat will depend on the type of skills you'll be sharing and the goals of the participants. We'll work together to determine the ideal length of the retreat.
Determine the number of participants: We'll need to consider the size of the location and your capacity to teach when determining the number of participants for the retreat.
Set a budget: It's important to have a clear understanding of the financial aspects of the retreat, including your compensation, accommodation, food, transportation, and any other costs that will affect the final pricing for the attendees. We'll work together to set a budget that balances high quality programming and affordability for attendees.
Develop the program: We'll work together to develop a detailed program for the retreat, including a schedule of the core activities, such as yoga classes, beer-making workshops, cheese-making lessons, cooking classes, or any other artisan skill classes. We'll also make sure to include locally-inspired excursions and free time for participants to enjoy the area.
Promote the retreat: As the expert, you can play an important role in promoting the retreat to your network and on your social media channels. We'll work together to create promotional materials that highlight your expertise and the unique experiences participants will have at the retreat.
Arrange logistics: Once participants have signed up, we'll work together to arrange the logistics of the retreat, such as transportation, accommodation, and meals. We'll communicate clearly with participants and provide them with all the information they need to prepare for the retreat.
Host the retreat: Finally, we'll host the retreat and ensure that everything runs smoothly. We'll encourage feedback from participants and use it to improve future retreats.

By following these steps, we can create a successful retreat that showcases your skills as an expert in your field!
