Hi Elpha members!

I am interested in hosting (or co-hosting!) a retreat in Northern Minnesota. I first would like to get feedback on what kind of retreat you would be interested in attending. Please see the options below or provide a comment about what your ideal retreat would include.

Also, if you have any suggestions on how to plan, market, and lead a successful retreat please share!

I have hosted many events and workshops but I always love to learn from others!

Thank you for your help!

Best

Julie

@juliezarubafountaine how did the retreat go!

Hey @juliezarubafountaine so great that you are doing this!!!I am doing similar things in Europe - e.g. I hosted this one in September 2023 (on mindfulness) and will do it again in September 2024 :) https://happiness-academy.eu/istria-getaway/I am happy to connect and share my learnings and experiences - although it might be more valuable once you choose the topic ;)

Thanks for your offer Mirna! Yes, I agree once a theme is chosen it would be great to connect!
