It's finally officially summer!
We just wrapped up our annual "start to the summer camping trip" and our feet are now firmly planted in this season of sunshine!
Of course, we're still finding some footing as we settle into new routines. But despite the stumbling, I'm choosing joy! I'm soaking in all the simple delights - basking in the sun, chasing boat ride sunsets and indulging in strawberry milkshakes!
I've decided it's time to thrive and I want you to do the same!
As a retreat planner, I often find there's a cadence of moving from season to season as we plan for and host events. If the spring is the time for hosting retreats, summer has become a time to start prepping for the next one.
Right now you'll find me building out a timeline with content and finalizing guest speakers, getting so excited for Bloom + Grow Live.
I'm making all the arrangements to ensure attendees walk away with an incredible experience - having learned a ton, made invaluable connections and are filled up to lead their businesses in new and fresh ways!
I'd love for you to come to Bloom + Grow Live and watch how I welcome guests into a two-day experience, packed full of amazing content and delightful surprises that create a beautiful, authentic community! Join me in Nashville September 12-13 and see how the magic happens!
In the meantime, read on for helpful tips and resources to use during your own retreats!
Retreat Spotlight
We are cheering on our fellow retreat planner, Valerie Mummert! She hosts The Purposeful Getaway and it is taking off.
"I just got back from hosting The Purposeful Getaway Retreat for the 5th time SINCE taking the Invite & Delight course from Amber Housley. All of the mindset shifts, templates, guides, timelines, and more that she shares in the program are 
gold!
Such a wealth of planning magic I use over and over!"
Helpful Insider Expert Tip: Using Stock Photos to Market Your First Retreat
Do you feel like you don't have the images you need to market your first retreat?
Don't be afraid to use stock photos to illustrate the type of experience attendees will have. It's all about creating a feeling and emotion through your pictures, so feel free to use photographs of the venue and groups of the people you want to attract to your retreat.
