Retreat Planner's Training

Hi! I'm Mentor Marnie and after attending, planning and speaking at dozens of retreats over the years, the saddest thing I've seen is a planner getting "beat up" financially or via poor feedback, simply because she didn't know what she didn't know!

This instant access training module costs under $20 and includes everything I'd tell you if I could share my strategies, tips and shortcuts face-to-face. My goal here is to help you succeed whether it's your first or 50th retreat.

Trying to remember everything you might be forgetting can be stressful. In addition, you cannot have the experience of a seasoned planner until you know one. This training module will help you relax and enjoy the planning process, knowing every base is covered and everything will get done on time. It includes:

Retreats Made Easy eBook. In less than 5 minutes you will be reading the PDF file that walks you through the entire plan in 80 pages. Read it online or print it out for a 3-ring binder.
Budget Worksheet. This interactive Microsoft Word Excel sheet allows you to work the numbers before you start throwing money around. This alone is well worth the price of the training set.

Key Strategy #1
You must meet or exceed your guests' expectations.

If you fail at this, then you will get negative feedback no matter how great the retreat was. Women are funny that way! They need to feel secure. Using this book you will be able to decide which retreat components they expect, which to include, which to exclude and how to communicate with your guests so they will know exactly what to expect.

Key Strategy #2
The money matters!

Bottom line, if you are the retreat coordinator, there are at least fifteen ways you can come out owing money.
This is why the interactive Budget Worksheet provided with this resource is so important. Not only can you see every financial component on one screen (which prints out to one piece of paper), but you can play with the numbers until you are confident you'll be OK.

Another excellent inclusion in this training module is the advice about negotiating facilities contracts. Why pay more than you have to?!


The key to planning a wonderful women's retreat, without the typical headaches, is to have a plan and work your plan. This guide includes step-by-step instructions so you will know what to do, when to do it and how to communicate it so your guests can relax and have a great time. The eBook removes as many steps as possible to save you valuable time and the training modules add perspective to your knowledge base.

As you instantly download this training module, you will gently proceed through every step of retreat planning, from idea to feedback forms.

Before Your First Retreat Planning Meeting...

Go through the training and arrive prepared. Use the ready-to-personalize and print-out forms to create your retreat sign-up sheets, to-do lists and calendars... your team will think they've died and gone to heaven! This year you can run an organized and efficient retreat planning effort.
