The Retreat Blueprint

You know exactly how you want your retreat to feel. The hard part is everything else: the venue, the budget, the sponsors, the sign-ups, and making sure you don't lose money doing the thing you love.

The Retreat Blueprint is the planning system behind the events I produce at conneXtions studio, turned into a workbook you can fill in from the first idea to the final debrief. It goes beyond the usual retreat checklist with the money math, partner strategy and content plan that turn a beautiful weekend into a business.

What's inside:

• Vision + Intentions, with a one-line promise builder to sharpen who it's for and what she walks away with
• Experience Design, with a daily flow template, activity planner and facilitator tracker
• Venue + Lodging, with a scorecard to compare up to three venues side by side
• Budget + Profit, with an expense tracker plus break-even and profit-at-capacity formulas
• Brand Partners, covering what to offer sponsors, a prospect tracker and a fill-in pitch line
• Promotion + Enrollment, with a sales timeline, lead magnet ideas and an 8-week enrollment tracker
• Content Capture, with a shot list, on-camera testimonial prompts and a plan to turn this retreat into marketing for your next one
• Pre-Retreat Prep, with an onboarding checklist and a communication timeline from 30 days out
• Day-Of Execution, with team roles, a "before doors open" checklist and an emergency kit list
• Post-Retreat Wrap, with a 72-hour follow-up list, a results scoreboard and debrief prompts
