I just attended an incredible retreat for Powerhouse Women last weekend and I am SO inspired by the power of live connection and retreat experiences to create major transformation.
Here are 10 tips for hosting retreats.
1. The attendee connection and support is everything. Really look at who is being invited to the program or retreat to make sure the dynamic will be positive.
2. Pick a location has the vibe you want, is photo worthy and has the space you need for sleeping, eating and meeting. Don’t forget to check parking and noise restrictions
3. If you can afford it, hire a photographer and videographer to capture the experience.
4. If you don’t have an event planner, ask someone you know to come and help me BTS helping organize, set-up, also take photos/video and just be your helper so you can focus on the people there.
5. Create an agenda that allows for group discussions, breaks, free time, reflection. One thing I loved with the Powerhouse Women retreat is having the mornings open to go on walks together, talk, work out, have breakfast.
6. Bring food into the experience and have a chef that creates beautiful dishes that are weaved into the already inspiring environment.
7. Add in surprises like special guest to speak, goodie bags, branded items, a notebook is a must. Love the idea of doing something small each morning.
8. Add in experiences outside of the sessions like fitness, sound healing or other things that create connection and fun. You can even survey attendees in advance to see what some of their favorite activities are.
9. Make sure the sleeping arrangements are very clear.
10. Have a container to connect after the event to keep the conversation and experience going. Like a Voxer group, FB group, song playlist. Also, do a survey and request testimonials.
Thanks for listening and supporting entrepreneurs and the small business community! I would love to connect with you at https://www.instagram.com/eventivebrush and in our private Facebook group where we continue the conversation!
