In this special, re-broadcast episode of the Retreat Leaders podcast, Alison joins the host along with another retreat leader colleague, as they unveil a groundbreaking initiative poised to transform the retreat industry. This announcement has been in the making for several months, with the seeds of inspiration planted during their initial meetings in Champagne, France.

They dive deep into the common misconceptions surrounding retreats, particularly the prevalent scarcity mindset in the wellness and spiritual sectors. Erin, with her background in business coaching, opens a conversation about how profitability is often wrongly viewed as contentious with genuine impact. Instead, they argue that profit and positive transformation can coexist and, in fact, fuel each other. Their discussion highlights the need for a paradigm shift within the industry, acknowledging that retreats extend far beyond the wellness realm and into corporate and special interest domains.

As the dialogue unfolds, they reveal the details of the Retreat Industry Forum—a three-day immersive gathering scheduled for May 14th through 17th in Colorado. This forum aims to elevate the retreat industry by providing attendees with actionable strategies for turning their operations into sustainable, profitable ventures. They emphasize that their collective experiences of hosting over 150 retreats has equipped them with vital insights into the retreat landscape.

Throughout the conversation, the idea that networking and collaboration generate monumental shifts in business models is continuously reinforced. They acknowledge that their shared experiences have proven that attending the right events can spark collaborations that lead to game-changing opportunities. This forum is designed for everyone in the retreat industry, from aspiring leaders to established entrepreneurs, emphasizing inclusivity across niches and backgrounds.
