Before I go into these 3 necessities, I need to emphasize that they should be ๐๐๐ฆ๐ฌ. If you are looking to host a retreat in a completely remote location where there arenโt many amenities, I might suggest you change your location. Ultimately, the retreat is for your students, ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐? And you want them to feel ๐๐ฎ๐ณ๐ฒ and that ๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ, right?โฃ

1.) ๐ ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐: This goes without saying, but I see many teachers try to find a chef to hire who may or may not be reliable, who will most definitely charge a ton of money and add hidden fees at the end. This isnโt wrong, but what Iโm saying is that you can make things much easier for yourself and your students to choose a venue that has a ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐๐ฎ๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ป๐ ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฑ. Your participants wonโt have to ever worry about when and where their next meal will come from and this is crucial for people being able to relax. โฃ

2.) ๐๐ถ๐ฟ๐ฝ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ ๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ป๐๐ณ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐/๐๐ต๐๐๐๐น๐ฒ๐: I cringe a little when I see a retreat where participants are responsible for getting themselves from the airport to the venue. This isnโt wrong, but itโs an extra step and sometimes a confusing one when youโre in a country that you donโt know. I work with venues that can ๐ถ๐ป๐ฐ๐น๐๐ฑ๐ฒ or provide shuttle service. When a venue already works with drivers who are experienced with finding particular people and their luggage and getting them safely to the venue, this is a ๐ต๐๐ด๐ฒ ๐ฝ๐น๐๐! One of the pieces of feedback that I hear most about my retreats is that people love that they can get off the plane and ๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐ต๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ผ ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ผ๐๐ ๐ฎ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ด. This is something that will keep your students coming back time after time. โฃ

3.) ๐๐ฎ๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐๐ ๐๐ผ ๐ฒ๐
๐ฐ๐๐ฟ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐: Sure your students are there to do yoga, but they also want to ๐ฒ๐
๐ฝ๐น๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฒ! Find a venue that already has contacts with local excursion guides and also ๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ป๐๐ฝ๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป to said excursions. When your participants feel like they have some ๐ณ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฑ๐ผ๐บ to move around, that will enhance their overall experience of your retreat and get them excited to explore on the next one! You donโt want your students do be bored and looking forward to going home and access to excursions will leave them wanting ๐บ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฒ!โฃ

Sound like a lot to keep in mind? ๐ง๐ต๐ถ๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ ๐ถ๐ป, Iโm here to take care of all of your retreat planning so you donโt have to. My goal for you is that you can enjoy your retreat ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐-๐ณ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฒ and be ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ and ๐ฒ๐ป๐ด๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ๐ฑ with your students. And also ๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ ๐ข๐ก๐๐ฌ!โฃ
