REAL Retreat Blueprint
REAL Retreat Blueprint
Plan your retreat with clarity and purpose, a step‑by‑step companion for conscious facilitators, from vision to launch.
Ethical, values-driven planning — uplift communities, don’t extract.
Burnout-proof 8‑month timeline — pace your planning for balance.
Templates, budgets & launch scripts — practical tools to run a profitable, sustainable retreat.
Why this REAL Retreat Blueprint?
Plan with clarity, not chaos. This isn’t a generic course or a set of vague tips — the REAL Retreat Blueprint is a practical, proven system created by wellness practitioners like YOU, who have run international retreats for 5+ years.
It combines lived experience with ethical frameworks so you can build retreats that are financially viable, culturally respectful, and emotionally restorative.
Why this Blueprint works:
Built from practice: Refined across dozens of real-world retreats — tested in multiple countries and climates.
Ethics-first: Designed to prevent cultural extraction and prioritize fair pay and community benefit.
Time-tested pacing: An 8‑month burnout-proof timeline that reduces last-minute stress and spreads admin tasks.
Money-smart: Budget templates and pricing guidance that have produced profitable retreats for past participants.
What you’ll actually get:
A clear, step-by-step plan so you never wonder "what next".
Ready-to-use email/social scripts that convert without pressure or scarcity tactics.
Vendor agreements and budget sheets that save hours of negotiation and calculation.
A confident launch plan that attracts the right participants and supports local partners.
Let Journey together through 4 simple Stages to launch your DREAM to RETRAT
Not trend-driven: focused on longevity, not hype.
Community-centred: includes templates and language for fair local partnerships.
Pace-first: built to protect facilitator wellbeing and prevent burnout.
Practical tools: more than theory — sheets, scripts, and checklists you can use today.
