Front Porch Insider: Create a Meaningful Retreat Experience

back to blog home

Looking for ways to create a meaningful retreat experience this spring? I've got you, girl!

It's the middle of February and the early signs of spring are waking up in Nashville. A few daffodils are poking through the cool ground, showing off the first yellows and greens of a new season. Proof that beautiful blooms will come after the dark winter.🌷

When I chose my 2024 word of the year, BLOOM, I was so excited for this next season of thriving! Now as I begin to see it shifting, the fresh possibilities and ideas are starting to sprout! 🌱

Right now I'm planting the seeds for the Craft + Create Spring 2024 Virtual Retreat. It's my seasonal online event centered on creating space to awaken fresh ideas in business and life for female entrepreneurs.🌺

Let me tell you, if you're looking for ways to host a meaningful online experience that still cultivates the connections and sparkle of a live one, this is a great opportunity to take notes.

Join the experience and watch the flow of the schedule, the content delivery, and ideas for how you too can host an online event for your own community!

Discover one of the ways to market your own experience by catching my Retreat Preview Party Replay.

Of course, I've got lots of goodies for you in this post so read on, friend, to help you plan for success in your retreats!✨

Retreat Spotlight

We are so giddy to cheer on our Invite & Delight program student, the lovely, Christen Phillips from I See Stars Quilting! She just wrapped up her second retreat and it was even better than the first! Here's what she shared about her event.

Even though it was my intention to pour out love and knowledge and care and pampering to these women, my heart is so, so full! This was my second retreat & it was less stressful than the first retreat, I learned from the first and made adjustments.

I talked with Amber and took from her experience as a premium retreat hostess.

I love that I am blessed to do this. If you're still in the muddy midst of planning and questioning if it's worth it - keep moving forward.... It is!!”

Helpful Insider Expert Tip: Solving the Breakfast Dilemma

Having breakfast options that accommodate everyone can be a unique challenge during overnight events.

To avoid overbuying and a lot going to waste, try serving a planned breakfast. Let attendees know what the options are ahead of time. This will allow them to bring something different if what's being served doesn't work for their preferences or needs.

Toast bars and yogurt or steel cut oatmeal bowls are always a favorite for my crowd!

On the Bloom & Grow Show Podcast

Join me as I welcome you to the dawn of 2024, sharing my personal and professional goals for the year. They range from creating a serene and organized home environment, embracing a holistic health and wellness journey, and mindful financial planning, to nurturing creativity through reading and adventures, preserving family memories, leading my business with confidence and clarity, and fostering community through collaborations.

Retreat Resources

The spring season is a time of hope and renewal. A time in the garden when new seeds of possibility are planted. Where new things are stirring and sprouting.

We too can use this time to begin again, to plant new seeds and realign with our calling to create one-of-a-kind events.

If you are ready to make space for new dreams and possibilities for your retreat planning journey, join me for Craft + Create the 2024 Spring Virtual Retreat. This will be a powerful time to clear the pathways for openness and expansion on Thursday, March 21st at 8am PT / 10am CT / 11am ET.

Let's renew and recharge for a fresh celebration of the season ahead!

You'll receive a retreat kit full of surprises that arrives directly to your doorstep. Set aside three hours to reawaken your creativity and invite new opportunities for your retreats!
