The Guri Show

Most retreat leaders are chasing the wrong way to fill their events — but what if attracting the right participants feels effortless? 

In this video I'm sharing what I exactly did to fill my Bali Retreat. I focused on four core elements/key strategies, allowing myself to fill the event effortlessly. I don't like going on sales calls and cold dming people. Here's what I did to attract participants. 

I breakdown my 4 V’s:—how these pillars shape the entire experience and magnetize the right participants. 

Most importantly, you'll understand the difference between hunting and gravity — a metaphor that will change how you approach marketing forever. 

Instead of force, it’s about creating an environment so compelling that your ideal guests are naturally drawn to you with ease. This isn’t just theory—my proven framework will help you fill retreats with clients who are genuinely excited, committed, and aligned with your mission.

Perfect for retreat leaders tired of cold DMs and sales calls, craving authentic connection, and eager to serve the right people without stress. If you’re ready to stop chasing and start magnetizing, this episode is your game-changer.
