In this online course you'll learn:
-1-
How to position your retreat so that it stands out from the crowd and easily attracts participants.
Wellness travel is one of the fastest growing aspects of the travel industry. In order to ride the crest of this wave, it's crucial to get clear on what differentiates your retreats from the thousands of cookie cutter programs available. Your retreats are unique and the Retreat Roadmap will show you exactly how to communicate that to potential participants.
-2-
A foolproof pricing formula to ensure you are fairly compensated for your efforts.
Most retreat leaders are essentially guessing when it comes to pricing their retreats - but not you. After taking the Retreat Roadmap, you'll understand how to calculate your prices to guarantee that you get paid what your time and energy are worth. (You'll also learn a little known strategy for minimizing risk - even when you have to pay a retreat center deposit up front.)
-3-
A simple system for retreat promotion that minimizes effort and maximizes sign ups.
We're not gonna lie - retreat promotion is a big part of the job. But the reason it feels so overwhelming is that you don't have a system to guide your promotional efforts. Inside the Retreat Roadmap, we peel back the curtain on a ridiculously simple strategy that cuts your effort in half while doubling sign ups.
You + This Retreat Roadmap = everything you need to get started leading profitable and transformational retreats!
Maybe you're ruled out leading retreats as too financially risky.
Or maybe you decided that you you would need to partner with a concierge service in order to pull off a retreat - only to find out that you would make a small percentage of the profit while still being responsible for all the promotion.
Either way, with the Retreat Roadmap you have everything you need to run your own profitable and stress free retreats.
Confidently plan, promote, and present transformational retreats - without all the risk, headaches, and guesswork.
- Follow a step by step roadmap that's been created and refined over the past two decades of successful yoga retreats.
- Use the included templates that you can modify and personalize instead of creating everything from scratch.
- Learn how to protect your financial and energetic investment and ensure that you are fairly compensated for your work.
- Implement strategies to boost retreat enrollment - even a year or more in advance.
A Note From Lily
In March 2020 when COVID shut down borders, I had a sold out retreat to Greece with 35 folks enrolled and a deposit for an incredible retreat center in Southern Spain. The retreat center was unable to refund the almost $50,000 and I was stuck between students requesting refunds, and money that was no longer in my possession to refund. After months of anxiety and sleepless nights worrying I decide to lean into the lessons and develop a bulletproof system for running retreats.
I hired a business coach (Mado), I revamped all my retreat policies, and emerged from that period of uncertainty with back to back filled up retreats that I could sell with confidence even in the uncertain times we are living through right now.
In this course you'll benefit from my two decades of experience leading retreats, my deep dive into how to protect my investments, and the insights I gained from working with my business coach (and co-teacher for this course).
