Retreat Starter Kit (All-in-One), a template from Arilda Surridge

Why it stalls

Retreat plans rarely stall on the idea. They stall on a question.

Where do I even start? What do I charge so it actually pays me? Who holds my practice while I'm away? Which venue? When one of those has no answer, the whole plan waits.

Arilda knows this one. Her first therapist CE retreat sold out, and because she priced it from feel, it left her $344 per guest after the venue and everything else. The Five Numbers page in this kit is what she uses now: your price and break-even before you announce anything.

The kit gives each question its own page, in order. Find the one you're stuck on, start there, and the rest of the plan has somewhere to go.

What's inside

Eight questions, eight pages, one fillable PDF

Nine pages (a cover plus the eight templates) you can type into on screen, or print and fill in by hand.

Eight Decisions One-Pager, a template from Arilda Surridge

"Where do I even start?"

Welcome Email Template, a template from Arilda Surridge

Is it for you?

Made for a retreat plan that's stuck on a question

It's for you if

  • You're a therapist, coach or wellness practitioner planning a first or next retreat
  • Your plan is stuck on one (or a few) of these 8 questions
  • You want to know your price and break-even before you announce anything
  • Your idea is still a little fuzzy (that's exactly where the kit starts)

It's not for you if

  • You want someone to plan the whole retreat for you
  • You need legal, tax, insurance or licensing advice. These are planning templates.
