Mapping Your Dream Retreat

Learn everything you need to know to create your own brilliant retreats from curating programming to financial planning

Retreat Mastermind

We Begin April 28th and culminate in September 2024

 

So you're ready to start hosting transformative travel experiences and retreats for your people?

You've got gifts to give. You have things you want to share that you just can't in the context of a one or two day workshop. 

You have a vision of adventuring with a group of like-minded humans and creating the space for their inner adventure all along the way. 

You've got the ideas brewing but you're not quite sure how to map out your retreat, how to price your retreat, how to create contracts with your clients. 

Wait do my guests need insurance? Do I need insurance?...

Phew...that's a lot and it's barely scratching the surface. 

That's where I come in. 

I am entering my ELEVENTH retreat season! Oh and I'm a professional travel advisor that books global travel and small group travel. 

I've hosted 100s of people from all over the world in locations all over the world.

I've made ALL the mistakes so you don't have to. 

In the Retreat Mastermind I'm taking you behind the curtain to teach you ALL of the ins and the outs of the business side of things AND I'm going to teach you how to curate potent retreats that set you apart. 

You'll learn to curate programming and create retreats that your clients never forget. 

AND because we are ALL different this is not some rigid linear program. 

You get to do things YOUR WAY. There is not secret way to build a 6-figure business, there's no perfect map to follow. We're here to have HONEST business conversations and to give you tools you can adapt for YOUR work. 

 

Hosting retreats is one of the most fulfilling branches of my work.

I consistently see lives changed and I am so excited to have the opportunity to mentor you so you can create your own retreat experiences and catch the magic. 

This Program is For You IF...

  • You've been scheming and dreaming of hosting a retreat but you don't know how or where to start 
  •  You're overwhelmed by all of the logistics or you don't have a solid handle on what actually goes on behind the scenes to make group travel happen
  •  You have already hosted a retreat or two but you want to up-level the experience and grow your skills
  •  You have hosted seminars and workshops and you're itching to diversify your offerings.
  • You'd love to have an additional income stream from your annual retreat offerings. 
  • You have a wellness, mental health, fitness, yoga, creative business that you want to expand into the retreat space
  •  You want to plan a retreat in the next three years in your field of work
  •  You have a deep love of travel and you want to support others in their explorations
  • You LOVE to support and guide others
  •  You're committed to putting in the work to invest in yourself and your business. 
  • You have an established offering and an audience of SOME KIND. It doesn't have to be big but it needs to exist

Who isn't this for? 

You want everything to be spoon-fed to you. You prefer totally linear processes (I'm not for you). You don't do well playing in the realms of uncertainty. Why? Travel isn't linear or certain. And I'm a coach and teacher that wants to empower my people to do things in a way that feels great to THEM.  

Lifetime recording access if you miss a session.

Let me begin by saying, if I could give Selena and this trip fifty stars, I would in a heartbeat. I understand how cliche it is to say, “This trip changed my life!” But it truly did. Selena provided a safe space to reconnect with my body, mind, and spirit as emotions I couldn’t fully understand at the time bubbled to the surface. She left us with a simple statement, “Love your life,” that had profound impacts I haven’t fully grasped. While Greece was outstanding, the people incredible, the food fantastic, and the resort impeccable, the internal movement this created within me is something I will be forever indebted to. I will be returning in the future. Selena changed my life. If you’re considering going, even a tiny bit, hold tight to it and don’t let go. It’ll make you love your life again. I promise.
