Learn the exact system I’ve used to create and sell out more than 18 international retreats, without wasting months of trial and error.
Maybe you’ve been thinking about creating a retreat for months, or even years. You have a vision of bringing people together, creating an unforgettable experience, and making a greater impact, but you’re not quite sure where to begin.
Maybe you’re wondering how to choose the right location, what to charge, how to fill your retreat, or whether you’re ready to take that leap. If you’ve been asking yourself those questions, you’re not alone.
That’s exactly why I created this course: to share the step-by-step process I’ve used to successfully create and lead more than 18 international retreats, so you can move forward with clarity, confidence, and the support you need to bring your vision to life.
Host & Lead Facilitator
When I hosted my first retreat, I had no idea just how much it would change my life and my business. What started as one retreat quickly became something I was deeply passionate about. I discovered there is something incredibly powerful about bringing people together in beautiful places where they can learn, grow, connect, and step away from the demands of everyday life.
Since then, I’ve had the privilege of creating and leading more than 18 international retreats around the world. Along the way, I’ve learned so many lessons, some through successes and others through mistakes. Every retreat has helped me grow and has shaped the experiences I create today.
One of the greatest joys for me has been watching other therapists, coaches, and helping professionals take what they’ve learned and go on to create retreats of their own. There is something very special about seeing someone turn a dream they’ve carried for years into an experience that impacts the lives of others.
That’s exactly why I created this course. My hope is that I can help shorten your learning curve by sharing the lessons, strategies, and practical tools I’ve learned along the way, so you can create a retreat with confidence and bring your own vision to life.
Retreats hosted around the world, including:
They create space.
People rarely remember every slide from a presentation. They remember how they felt, the conversations they had, and the relationships they built. That’s the power of a thoughtfully designed retreat.

I’ll share everything I’ve learned from creating and leading more than 18 international retreats: the successes, the mistakes, and the lessons that have shaped the experiences I create today. Together, we’ll walk through everything from choosing the right destination and designing an unforgettable retreat to pricing, planning, logistics, and creating an experience that truly impacts the lives of your attendees.

Founder, HiveSourced & AnvilFlow
Alex Sandev is the founder of HiveSourced, where he’s built and marketed websites for 100+ therapy practices since 2023, and the founder of AnvilFlow, an AI-integration and business-systems consultancy for owner-led businesses seeking revenue growth and performance optimization.
He works with founders who’ve hit the point where they’re the bottleneck in their own business, building the marketing systems, websites, and AI-driven workflows that let a business run without the owner glued to it.
He’s teaching the marketing and systems session of this course: the part that decides whether a retreat actually fills or stalls at 2–3 signups.
“I’d love to do this, but I don’t know where to start.”
“I don’t have a huge audience.”
“What if no one signs up?”
“I’ve never planned a retreat before.”
“What if I pick the wrong location, or price it wrong?”
“I don’t have time to figure all of this out on my own.”
Almost every successful retreat host has thought those same things, including me.
You’ve carried this idea for a while, maybe for years. You can picture the experience, the people, the impact. What stops you isn’t desire; it’s not knowing exactly how, or the quiet fear of getting it wrong.
That’s exactly what this course removes. Together, we walk through every decision from concept to launch, so you leave not with more questions, but with everything you need to create your first retreat and cover all the bases.
You don’t need to be an event planner. You don’t need a massive following. You don’t need to have everything figured out.
You simply need a vision, and someone who’s willing to help you bring it to life.
Spots are limited to keep the session personal. Share a few details and we’ll send you the date, the video-call link, and everything you need to join.
