From Then to Now: Retreats!
The first time a launched a self care retreat I was nervous & shaky hitting “publish”.
I wondered “Can I really do this???”
Right after hitting publish, I sent out my first newsletter about it and within a couple of hours… I had my first sale.
I couldn’t believe that an award winning yoga teacher had just paid over $800 to come on retreat with my team & I. I literally jumped for joy & I was off to the races.
That first retreat taught me SO much!
Fast forward 23 months later & I’m hosting my third full weekend retreat (sixth retreat ever) that’s sold out & planning a fourth for the spring.
I love getting to bring people together & yes, it’s one of my favorite parts of my business.
There are soooo many pieces that need to be woven together to create an enjoyable (& dare I say transformational) experience for folks. I get such a kick out of all of the little details & how they come together.
I am also so grateful for my retreat partners, my life partner Tree Isaac, one of my besties, the “food goddess” Kala Bloxham, my business bestie Chancee Terry & Amanda Evans who owns The Wandering Path. Plus literally everyone I’ve gotten to work with in the past to learn & grow!
I could NEVER do this by myself and I’m so grateful for the support of my epic team!
The other group that lights up my world & rocks my socks is my E-Tribe of email newsletter subscribers! There are currently 248 of you on that list. Y’all form a very important part of the ecosystem of Mud Lotus Arts.
The E-Tribe gets first word on all events & they get discounts that social media never sees. Have you wondered how we sold out our latest retreat (Re-Source, in November) SO DANG FAST? Well it was partly because the email list got first dibs on the best stuff.
Think you may want to come on retreat with us eventually?
Join the E-Tribe here or at the bottom of this post. You’ll automatically get a lil’ welcome letter from me when you do.
Already in the E-Tribe?
THANK YOU!
I absolutely love sending my weekly note to y’all & seeing you open & click!! It makes me so happy in a “nerdy email marketing” sort of way (And in a very natural “connecting with other humans” sort of way).
The next full weekend retreat offering is a COUPLES RETREAT!
Save the date: March 28, 29, 30th, 2025
There are 7 tickets available, for 7 couples.
The link for early bird tickets will be sent to the E-Tribe on Friday November 1st.
I am so exited to be putting on a couples offering with Tree & Chuck & Tara Moran.
Chuck & Tara are 2 sweet and lit up people who we are so excited to weave this offering with! I actually met them on a retreat where they were celebrating their honeymoon (at the very place where my first ever retreat was held). We are all very exciting to give life to this idea and bring it to the community.
This couples retreat is going to be marvelous!!
I can’t wait to see your name on the E-Tribe list & if you’re in a partnership, to see it represented on retreat with us next year!!
Cheers!
