Creating a successful and transformative retreat is an art. According to industry data, 72% of successful retreat planners emphasize the importance of having a well-defined purpose for their retreats. That being said, the first thing you need to do to start planning a retreat is to have a clear and authentic purpose that resonates with your brand values and essence.
