| Hi Friend,
If you are reading this during the day on Wednesday, May 17, I'm probably shedding happy tears watching my daughter graduate from college. ♥
As promised, I want to be more in touch and share highlights of conversations and questions from our Virtual RetreatU™ Mastery circle. Our new implementation masterminds are a great source of ideas.
A recent mastermind meeting focused on choosing a topic for your first virtual retreat. I chose to bring it to the forefront when I discovered it was a key reason standing in the way of women leading their first retreat. My intention, to help women get clear and feel inspired to choose a topic with ease.
Here are a few ideas to consider as you approach this topic. These may not be new to you, yet I hope they inspire you, help you organize your thoughts & heart, to take action to lead your first retreat: - Consider what you are already sharing, e.g.: if you've lead a land retreat, consider a virtual retreat to keep retreat alive or take the attendees deeper into a practice you shared during the live retreat. If you teach an online course? Consider a half-day virtual retreat to focus on the details of implementation or going deeper - and the benefits of two-way exchange and group sharing.
- Consider who you are already serving, e.g., Do you have private clients who you believe would benefit from being in circle in the spirit of a land-based meet and greet? Are you leading a group that's working hard on a project and needs some time away from the work, to just breathe, be and practice self-care? Do
- Consider groups of which you are a member, e.g., Maybe you are a member of a church or yoga circle that would appreciate you bringing them together around topics addressed in your group - without leaving home or between meetings.A nonprofit for which you volunteer that deserves a time to breathe, plan and organize.
- Your social media circle: take a look at the posts that receive the most engagement and see how they could become a retreat, e.g., a woman who creates and posts mandalas considered leading a virtual retreat around mandalas (making or the power of ).
- Personal rituals and celebrations: Do you have personal rituals or practices that may be perfect for a virtual retreat, e.g., art, writing, 5 elements, de-cluttering
Want more help choosing?
Complete transparency, this is best realized when complemented by group sharing and feedback, but I hope this inspires some thought and moving forward with your virtual retreat. If you want a place to get your questions answered, join me in our private Facebook group. If you prefer a more personal exchange, I invite you to call me for private 15-30 minute conversation (click here to schedule). The call is on me. I LOVE connecting with the members of my tribe, and I learn and grow with your questions.
I am dedicated to supporting you so you can share your message with more people, profit, and ease. It is my joy to help you realize this vision.
