How To Run Profitable Retreats

Why 90% of Retreat Leaders Never Host a Second Retreat


Listen Later

Welcome back to How to Run Profitable Retreats with your host, Leni Cavazos—global retreat strategist and systems expert. This is Episode 2 in our 6-part series, and it’s one of the most personal, powerful, and purpose-driven conversations yet. 🎙️✨

In this episode, Leni opens up about her unexpected journey—from producing world-class events at Ritz-Carlton, snow-covered galas in the Dubai desert, and launching Marriott Bonvoy… to walking out of her very first retreat experience in tears.

And yet, the transformation came full circle.

💥 You'll learn:

  • Why most retreats aren’t profitable—and why transformation alone isn’t enough
  • The “aha” moment that made Leni pivot from luxury events to transformational retreats
  • What she discovered after interviewing 100+ retreat leaders (and why 90% of them never hosted a second retreat)
  • Why you need more than passion—you need a strategy
  • The truth about $10K+ losses and the myths that normalize retreat failure
  • What your pricing, planning, and mindset really say about your business

This episode is a raw, real behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to stop winging it and start building a repeatable, scalable, profitable retreat business.
