I just attended an incredible retreat for Powerhouse Women last weekend and I am SO inspired by the power of live connection and retreat experiences to create major transformation.

Here are 10 tips for hosting retreats.

1. The attendee connection and support is everything. Really look at who is being invited to the program or retreat to make sure the dynamic will be positive.

2. Pick a location has the vibe you want, is photo worthy and has the space you need for sleeping, eating and meeting. Don’t forget to check parking and noise restrictions

3. If you can afford it, hire a photographer and videographer to capture the experience.

4. If you don’t have an event planner, ask someone you know to come and help me BTS helping organize, set-up, also take photos/video and just be your helper so you can focus on the people there.

5. Create an agenda that allows for group discussions, breaks, free time, reflection. One thing I loved with the Powerhouse Women retreat is having the mornings open to go on walks together, talk, work out, have breakfast.

6. Bring food into the experience and have a chef that creates beautiful dishes that are weaved into the already inspiring environment.

7. Add in surprises like special guest to speak, goodie bags, branded items, a notebook is a must. Love the idea of doing something small each morning.

8. Add in experiences outside of the sessions like fitness, sound healing or other things that create connection and fun. You can even survey attendees in advance to see what some of their favorite activities are.

9. Make sure the sleeping arrangements are very clear.

10. Have a container to connect after the event to keep the conversation and experience going. Like a Voxer group, FB group, song playlist. Also, do a survey and request testimonials.

Our guest today is Andrea Crisp, mindset and confidence coach. We talk about helping entrepreneurs do the inner work to confidently show up in their life and business to make more income + impact plus the value of events and retreats!

Andrea's coaching clients affectionately call her their 'secret weapon' because of her innate ability to identify their potential and champion their unique purpose. As a creative and multi-passionate woman, Andrea was driven by purpose but felt hopelessly lost with it came to bringing her own dreams to life.

With over 20 years of experience as an educator, musician, and pastor, it took failing time and time again and being let go from her dream job to realize that her true gifting was as a mindset and life purpose coach. When she's not coaching, writing, or hosting her podcast, The Couragecast, you can find her taking a walk in the woods or hanging out at the local coffee shop with friends. Her first book, "Designed With Purpose" was written in 2011 to help women discover and live out their God-given purpose.
