Listen Later

Are you a therapist looking to diversify your income and create unforgettable experiences for your clients? You are in the right place! In last week's episode, I started talking about why you should consider leading a retreat, and today I'm going to dive into the building blocks of a profitable retreat.

We'll explore how to define the purpose of your retreat, ensuring it addresses a specific problem your clients face, and how this clarity can shape every decision you make - from accommodations to activities. You'll learn why less is often more when it comes to scheduling, and how to create a cohesive, intentional experience that leaves participants feeling deeply satisfied and eager for more.


I'll give you practical tips on crafting a curriculum that fosters profound takeaways and meaningful connections, as well as advice on managing all the logistics without losing your sanity. Are you ready to design an unforgettable retreat for your clients? Tune in now and learn how to lead a profitable multi-day retreat!


Topics covered in this episode:

  • The breakdown of the building blocks of a profitable retreat.
  • The importance of having a clear purpose for the retreat that solves a specific problem
  • Why you shouldn’t overload the schedule with too many activities.
  • The surprising benefits of incorporating free time for participants.
  • Being adaptable and generous when things don't go as planned.
  • The benefits of having an assistant when leading a retreat.
