Can you believe we are less than two weeks away from toasting in 2024?🥂
I just love this time of year. These are the days to enjoy the festivities of the season, to celebrate all the good things that have grown throughout the year and to quietly dream about the possibilities to come in the new year.
As I reflect on 2023, I am so excited about all the amazing retreats that have come out of our community. We've watched people take a leap of faith to launch new events and we've cheered on seasoned planners taking their retreats to the next level. 🚀
It thrills me to see all the magic that's happening and to think about the delightful days ahead!✨
Speaking of the future, I would love to know your dreams and plans for this coming season. As your cheerleader, I want to be creating resources and tools that truly support you in making your live events and retreats happen. Tell me, friend, what would you like to learn about in this phase of your journey?
Before you ring in the new year with a bottle of bubbly and Auld Lang Syne, I hope you take a few minutes to reflect on the seeds you planted that have grown into beautiful gardens this year. Here's to dreaming about all the amazing events in store for 2024!🍾
Retreat Spotlight
Let's celebrate one of our Invite & Delight program students, the beautiful, brilliant Faith Marie from BLOOM! She hosted her first event in October and it was amazing! Here’s what Faith Marie shared about it:
“I cannot say enough about how instrumental the Invite & Delight course was in helping me launch and turn one of my biggest dreams into a reality. I’ve got people on the waitlist for next year and I can’t wait for Bloom 2024!”
Helpful Insider Expert Tip: Be Tech Savvy
Use an HDMI cord to plug in your laptop to a TV screen in a rental house for intimate gatherings. Or, for larger retreats, bring your own projector. Some venues will let you use your own presentation equipment, which can be a fraction of the cost of renting their equipment.
