Food, logistics, and hospitality considerations
Skillful space-holding: what to do, what to avoid, and how to stay grounded
How to launch, fill, and facilitate retreats without burnout or over-marketing
Basic and complex psychological group dynamics and facilitator responsibilities
Budgeting in a way that you actually make an income from retreats while offering a quality experince
Facilitation doโ€™s and donโ€™ts learned from years in the field
Navigating real-life challenges that arise in retreat environments

We will dedicate time for brainstorming retreat ideas, receiving feedback, and learning from fellow participantsโ€”creating a collaborative, supportive learning container.
